There's a lot you can't eat while doing Whole30—and you'd think one of those things would be fast food. But, good news: You're wrong! Yes, even though it may not seem like it, you absolutely can keep your diet in check when eating at Chipotle. Here's how.
Order a bowl—no rice, no beans.
Though you may want to go straight for the salad option, it's not exactly necessary (but by all means, go ahead, if you're feeling it!). The bowl option allows you to stock up on non-legume protein (meat. I mean meat.), which is absolutely Whole30-OK'd. Plus, the internet's teeming with folks who argue you get more meat when ordering a bowl versus a salad.
Add (almost) any salsa.
The pico de gallo, salsa verde, and the beloved red salsa are all fine for you to eat. The corn salsa, however, is not.
The fajitas are not a viable option.
The veggies don't work for Whole30 either, as they are reportedly cooked in either soy bean or rice bran oil, so skip those too.
Get that guac.
Sure, it might not be the best option if you're trying to cut calories, but as far as Whole30? You're good to go. Avocado is a healthy fat, and it is encouraged.
Top it all off with greens.
That lettuce you were eyeing earlier? Have at it now. Adding those extra greens right at the end is not only Whole30-compliant, but it's also another source of fiber to ensure you're as satisfied as you can possibly be.
....though you're at Chipotle. How unsatisfied can you be?
........don't answer that.
