Chipotle Burrito Bowl: Extra Guac, No Cheese (~1,000 cal)

By Alec Zakhary

TL;DR

A Chipotle burrito bowl with chicken, brown rice, beans, extra guacamole (double, +460 cal of mostly-good fat) and no cheese runs around 1,000 cal — 48g protein, 54g fat, 77g carbs. Online orders historically get smaller guac scoops.

My take

Extra guac is the cheapest macro hack on the menu — adds ~230 cal of mostly heart-friendly fat for one flat fee. But online orders historically get smaller scoops, so go in-person if you want both 4-oz pours.

Frequently asked questions

How many calories does a Chipotle bowl with extra guac and no cheese have?

About 1,000 calories for the standard build: chicken (180), brown rice (210), black beans (130), extra guacamole / double (460), tomatillo-red chili salsa (15), and romaine lettuce (5). That's roughly 48g protein, 54g fat (most from the guac), and 77g total carbs (62g net after fiber). White rice is essentially identical (210 cal) — swap freely.

Does "extra guac" mean a second scoop, or just adding guac at all?

At Chipotle, "extra" means a second 4-oz scoop on top of the first — total 8 oz / 460 cal. Just "adding guac" (single scoop) is 4 oz / 230 cal. The same logic applies to most chains: "extra X" = double the standard portion of X. The flat upcharge stays the same regardless of bowl size.

Is extra guac worth it on a keto Chipotle bowl?

Yes — guac is one of the few high-fat, low-net-carb add-ons Chipotle has. Each 4-oz scoop adds 22g fat, 8g carbs, and 6g fiber (so 2g net carbs per scoop). Doubled, that's still only 4g net carbs but 44g fat — perfect ratio for keto. Drop the rice and beans, add fajita veggies, and you're under 12g net carbs total.

Why are online guac portions smaller than in-person?

Multiple Reddit threads and a viral 2022 TikTok documented Chipotle employees using half-scoops specifically on app and DoorDash orders. A former employee said managers instructed staff to under-portion online orders. Chipotle's CEO acknowledged systematic skimping in a 2024 earnings call and pledged to fix it, but Reddit reports suggest variance is still real. Order in-store if portion size matters for your macros.

What's the macro split with extra guac vs without?

Without guac, the same chicken bowl is around 540 cal (44g protein, 8g fat, 70g carbs). Adding extra guac (8 oz / 460 cal) shifts the bowl to 1,000 cal with 54g fat — basically you're trading carbs for fat without sacrificing protein. If you're tracking fat as a percentage of total calories, extra guac roughly doubles the fat ratio (15% → 49%).
