WTH, Chipotle?

That's definitely something to think about, thanks!

Interesting! I can't do without eating beans sometimes. They used to be my main food group seriously.. so enjoying them every couple of days doesn't seem so bad especially without rice and homemade and fat free.

Still I do crave more beans a few hours after I eat beans ... and the next day I do feel a little bloated .

But I can only stomach so much meat and fish and dairy.. and low carb veggies in sauce are a great addition to meals but not really a satisfying meal to me on their own .

The sofrita has added sugar (Plus as was mentioned the black beans). If you want to eat at Chipolte eat the steak or just plain chicken with just veggies.

Beans are my primary source of fiber. I intentionally eat either refried beans or chili at least 5 times a week. I'm actually eating refried beans now. The chili is either my own or Wendy's. The refried comes from one of two restaurants that have real Mexican food here. They hired a Caucasian once, couple of years ago. Everyone is different but beans don't cause carb cravings for me. I'm betting that the problem lies in the preparation.

I like Chipoltle as a fast food choice because I can actually see what I am asking for. I usually get the carnitas or barbacoa. Maybe check their nutrition stats on the things you add for added sugars... Like when we all found out IHOP puts pancake batter in their egg mixture for scrambled eggs and omelettes....

Update: Had my in-person support meeting last night, so we got home very late... and stopped at Chipotle! This time I got the pinto beans, which are not my favorite, but they definitely did NOT provoke the same craving reaction.

Also, my stall broke! Happy days all around. :-)
