Get Big & Strong by Eating Chipotle Burritos!

Around most of the populated cities in the country people have generally heard or seen of Chipotles. Chipotle is mexican grill "Fast food" but without as many of the downsides as traditional fast food chains. The food at Chipotle can be used in a muscle-building program to effectively bulk on (I would not suggest eating burritos on a cutting diet as a meal here can easily go over 1,000+calories). The food is prepared fresh and they use high quality ingredients in preparing their burritos. Ok, didn't I mention this would be great bulking food? Yes I sure did! So let's get down the nitty gritty details!

When I get a burrito I usually get it with a 12″ flour tortilla shell, rice, chicken, fajita veggies, black beans, corn salsa, cheese, and lettuce. Just typing that out made me hungry...

When bulking and trying to add muscle, lots of calories are very important. Another good reason these burritos are good for gaining mass is because of their high carb content along with 63 grams of protein! Fats are also required for the muscle building process (yes even saturated fats!). The only thing that is bad about the burrito is high sodium content which can cause bloating for a bit (it will go away when your sodium intake lowers again, as well as if you stabilize your sodium intake). Another great benefit to these burritos is the high fiber content (18g, black or pinto beans help out a lot with increasing fiber totals) which helps keep your digestive system clean and in working order (click here for reasons why fiber is important) for information on the importance of fiber). Since Americans are typically not meeting daily fiber requirements, eating these burritos can help you meet your daily goal!

All in all I find eating Chipotle burritos to be great in use as muscle-building bulking food. You can increase the calorie content of the burrito by ordering it with extra meat or sour cream.
