So I had a Subway sub for lunch today and I got to thinking, how much healthier is this than a Chipotle burrito. If you get a burrito loaded, it is really bad for you, but I don't. I ususally go for the same thing all the time. So I punched through the numbers:
Subway 12" turkey and ham on wheat with swiss cheese, green pepper, lettuce, carrots, cucumber. Also a bag of Sun Chips harvest cheddar.
For Chipotle I had a Burrito Bol with chicken, cheese, lettuce, rice, black beans, and corn salsa.
Water with both (of course).
Subway worked out to this:
Calories 820
Fat 25
Sat Fat 9
Trans Fat 0
Cholesterol 80
Sodium 2680
Carbs 113
Fiber 10
Sugar 18
Protein 50
Vit A 16
Vit C 60
Calcium 42
Iron 52
Chipotle worked out to this:
Calories 804
Fat 29
Sat Fat 9
Trans Fat NA
Cholesterol 126
Sodium 2079
Carbs 85
Fiber 10.5
Sugar 3
Protein 52
Vit A 114
Vit C 35
Calcium 23
Iron 8
The burrito had less calories, same sat fat, much less sodium, less carbs, less sugar, more fiber and protein. Weird, huh? And both of these will fill me up about the same.
