A Chipotle chicken bowl is 770 calories on this site’s classic build from the brand’s own records (230 light, 1,195 loaded); the menu’s 180 is the chicken alone and the sheet gives 420 to 910.

The ordering menu lists 180 calories for a chicken bowl, and that is the 4 oz of chicken, nothing else. Chipotle’s printed sheet gives 420 to 910 calories for a built bowl, a range, because the plate depends on what goes on it. This site sums the parts from the brand’s calculator for three builds: light (fajita veggies, fresh tomato salsa and lettuce), classic (white rice, black beans, fresh tomato salsa, cheese, sour cream and lettuce) and loaded (white rice, black beans, fresh tomato salsa, corn salsa, cheese, sour cream, guacamole and queso blanco).

What each part adds

The parts are the same on every bowl: white rice, black beans, fresh tomato salsa, cheese, sour cream and lettuce. The protein moves the total by 60 calories between the lightest (Sofritas, 150 calories) and the heaviest (Carnitas, 210 calories) of the core proteins; the toppings move it more. Guacamole is 230 calories, queso blanco 120, sour cream 110, cheese 110; the salsas run 15 to 80.

The bowls with a set recipe

The High Protein Menu bowls have a fixed build and a summed total on their own pages: the High Protein - Low Calorie Bowl at 470 calories, the High Protein-High Fiber Bowl at 650 calories and the Double High Protein Bowl at 1,040 calories. They are the brand’s own builds, summed here from the same records.

The three builds, part by part

The chicken bowl three ways
Build	Parts	Calories	Protein	Carbs	Fat	Sodium	At the medians
Light	fajita veggies, fresh tomato salsa and lettuce	230	33 g	10 g	7 g	1,010 mg	$9.80
Classic	white rice, black beans, fresh tomato salsa, cheese, sour cream and lettuce	770	52 g	70 g	29.5 g	1,640 mg	$9.80
Loaded	white rice, black beans, fresh tomato salsa, corn salsa, cheese, sour cream, guacamole and queso blanco	1,195	62 g	97 g	62 g	2,590 mg	$14.45

The light build is the protein with Fajita Veggies, Fresh Tomato Salsa and Romaine Lettuce. The classic build is the protein with Cilantro-Lime White Rice, Black Beans, Fresh Tomato Salsa, Monterey Jack Cheese, Sour Cream and Romaine Lettuce. The loaded build is the protein with Cilantro-Lime White Rice, Black Beans, Fresh Tomato Salsa, Roasted Chili-Corn Salsa, Monterey Jack Cheese, Sour Cream, Guacamole and Queso Blanco. The same parts go on every protein so the proteins compare like for like; the protein’s own record is the only thing that changes down the column.
