The two records
| Figure | White rice, 4 oz | Brown rice, 4 oz |
|---|---|---|
| Calories | 210 | 210 |
| Fat | 4 g | 6 g |
| Carbs | 40 g | 36 g |
| Fiber | 1 g | 2 g |
| Protein | 4 g | 4 g |
| Sodium | 350 mg | 190 mg |
| Sugar | 0 g | 0 g |
Both rices are 210 calories per 4 oz on Chipotle’s own records: the calorie count is a tie. The differences are elsewhere: brown rice carries 160 mg less sodium (190 against 350), 1 g more fiber, 4 g fewer carbs and 2 g more fat than white. Neither is the low-calorie choice, because there is no low-calorie choice between them.
What the brand says about them
“Yes. Both the white rice and brown rice at Chipotle are gluten free. The rice is seasoned with lime juice and cilantro, making it a safe and flavorful base for Burrito Bowls, Tacos, or as a side.” The ingredient statements list the same seasoning on each: rice, water, cilantro, lime juice, salt and oil, with bay leaf in the white. The kid’s portion on the printed sheet is 2 oz.
In a bowl
Rice is 210 of a classic chicken bowl’s 770 calories on this site’s build, about 27 percent; drop it and the bowl is 560 calories and 30 g of carbs. Choosing brown over white changes nothing in calories and 160 mg in sodium, so on a 2,240 mg classic chicken burrito that is 7 percent of the sodium.
Price
Neither rice costs anything on any entree at any of the 368 restaurants read; both are included at the rice station, and the family meal kit carries a 24 oz portion of either. The white against brown rice page prints both records with the compare tool’s bars.
