A burrito bowl is the same meal as a burrito without the tortilla, and that one change makes a real difference. This calculator lets you build your bowl and see estimated calories, protein, carbs, fat and sodium update as you pick each ingredient.

How to Use the Bowl Calculator
Choose your rice and beans, pick a protein, then add salsas, veggies and toppings. Each item can be set to light, regular or extra. If you plan to ask for a double protein, switch the protein to double. The results card refreshes after every click.

Bowl Versus Burrito
Skipping the tortilla saves its 320 calories and 50 grams of carbohydrate, and it removes the wheat allergen that comes with the flour tortilla in our data. Many people also find a bowl easier to customize, because there is no need to keep everything wrapped.
The trade-off is that a bowl can feel less filling to some people, since a tortilla adds bulk. If that is you, extra beans or lettuce are low-calorie ways to fill the bowl.
Example Bowls
A classic bowl with white rice, black beans, chicken, tomato salsa, cheese and lettuce totals about 660 calories and about 50 grams of protein.
For a lighter version, drop the rice and cheese: chicken, black beans, fajita vegetables and tomato salsa come to roughly 355 calories and about 41 grams of protein.
If you want a richer bowl, adding guacamole brings about 230 calories more.
Tips for Lower-Calorie Bowls
- Ask for light rice, or skip it.
- Choose fajita vegetables and salsa for flavor with very few calories.
- Use lettuce as a base for a lighter bowl, which is the idea behind our salad page.
- Treat sour cream, cheese, guacamole and queso as the toppings to watch.

Choosing a Base for Your Bowl
The base is the biggest decision in a bowl. White and brown rice are about the same in our data, so the choice comes down to taste and texture. Some people skip rice entirely and use extra beans, fajita vegetables and lettuce to build volume. Others ask for a half portion of rice as a compromise.
Beans are worth a closer look because they bring protein and fiber at a modest calorie cost. Black and pinto beans are nearly identical in our figures, so pick whichever you enjoy. If you are watching sodium, remember that beans, meats and salsas all contribute, and the calculator's sodium line helps you see the total.
Finally, think about toppings in order of impact. Salsas and lettuce are very light, cheese and sour cream are moderate, and guacamole and queso are the heaviest. Adding them one at a time in the calculator is a quick way to learn which are worth it for you.
FAQ
Is a Chipotle bowl healthier than a burrito?
A bowl has fewer calories because it has no tortilla, but what you add matters more than the container. A heavily loaded bowl can still be high in calories.
How many calories does the rice add?
A serving of white rice is about 210 calories, and brown rice is about the same in our data.
Does the bowl calculator include the lettuce?
Lettuce is available as a topping. It is optional, and it adds very few calories at about 5 per serving.
Can I build a high-protein bowl here?
Yes. Choose chicken, set it to double and add beans. Our high-protein orders page has ready-made examples.
Is the information official?
No. It is an independent estimate based on Chipotle's published data. For the company's tool, use Chipotle's nutrition calculator.
