21 reference builds across the adult formats sit under 500 calories, the lightest the Sofritas Bowl light at 200 calories. A light build is the protein with fajita veggies, fresh tomato salsa and lettuce; a classic adds rice, beans, cheese and sour cream; a loaded build adds guacamole and queso. The build calculator sums any other set of parts.

The printed sheet’s ranges

Chipotle’s own sheet gives a built bowl or salad as 420 to 910 calories and a burrito as 740 to 1,210, so a bowl or a salad is where a plate under 500 lands; the burrito tortilla alone is 320 calories.
