I'm gonna get so fat

Burrito empire
I've been eating at Chipotle a lot. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that there's one in the building where I work. And now there's one just up the street from my apartment, and practically ANYWHERE ELSE I find myself these days.

So I've often wondered what kind of nutrition and calories I'm absorbing from these deliciously overstuffed monster burritos. Well, my curiosity has been satisfied with chipotlefan.com.

Here's a breakdown of the average meal I order:
