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.
 
If you're so concerned about what you eat you might want to reconsider eating at fast food restaurants.

Just sayin.

edit: and for anyone who thinks that Subway or Chipotle or whatever isn't fast food, I submit this: Having the food slave assemble your offal on the far side of a plexiglass sneeze-guard does not, somehow, imbue the dish with any more virtue than a Big Mac or Double Whopper with cheese.

Sometimes I just want to hug you.

It may be fast food, but it is certainly better to be deciding if you want bell peppers or banana peppers on your entree rather than debating between double cheese or bacon...

Who fucking debates that? You get double cheese and bacon, n00b.
 
Subway owns Chipotle any day.

McDonalds owns Chipotle... plus their salad bowl is like a handful of food. Cheapskates
