Best burrito is plain, without the tortilla, no dressing, with pico de gallo, lettuce, ranchero sauce, grilled veggies, cilantro-lime flavored rice, and black beans for 460 calories to keep you satisfied and full.
The tortilla bowl already has 390 calories and 22g fat. Downsize it and then fill it up with fat-free dressing of picante ranch, grilled chicken, grilled veggies, black bean and corn, and lettuce to get down to a little over 400 calories.
Cutting back on the sodium content of fast food items is not impossible. Split your meal with a companion, drink plenty of water, have beans instead of meat for protein or half your meal and get the rest in a doggie bag.
