I know a lot of you consider Chipotle and Subway to be healthy and don’t consider them to be fast foods. Well I’m here to break it to you that THEY ARE INDEED FAST FOOD!. I have taken a lot of time out to put this post together because I want you to see how many calories and how much sodium you’re really consuming in your beloved Chipotle and Subway.
I’m giving you every possible combination of burritos, tacos, burrito bowl I can think of as well and I also went based off Chipotle’s menu of what is actually supposed to go on their dishes minus the extras you may ask for. It’s just a peek.

Basically all I’m saying is watch what you eat. Everything that is out there isn’t good for you and if you’re always on the go you may want to consider other alternatives such as making your own meals to take with you on a daily basis. Just take the initiative to make your lunch the night before and go from there.
Yes, it is still fast food but isn’t just a little less guilty to consume than McDonald’s? I am not an advocate for fast food but I’d be struck by lightning if I denied eating it from time to time. I have always felt that anything in moderation and within reason is not too bad. It’s always about control!
I eat it from time to time myself but it’s like once every few months cause I used to eat the stuff everyday in high school.
