So...normally for work, as I have mentioned before, we go and eat burritos. I mean there less than $5 and take about 2 minutes to make, it's perfect. However, the place right across the street from us is selling HUGE salads for $3, ($2 if you work in the pharmacy since they love us). Now, everyone goes the "healthy way" and eats salads. Burritos are long gone, but hey I'm still gonna get them...I'll enjoy my non-healthy burritos.
In researching the unhealthiness of burritos, I came across a Taco Bell Nutrition Summary. Here you can pick anything on their menu and calculate how good/bad it is for you. I chose a regular size spicy chicken burrito with regular amounts of sauce and toppings. That's about 400 calories, 17 grams of fat, and 1190 milligrams of sodium, among the others. Well, maybe I will go with a salad...

P.S. I found a burrito blog all from Anna's Taqueria *where I get mine in Boston!*

I don't consider Taco Bell's burritos real burritos. I love Taco Bell, but there are plenty of authentic Mexican restaurants that make much better burritos rather than the fast food versions of them. I think the things that are bad about them are the sodium content and the fat from cheese. But I'd say regular bean burritos are good for you because beans are a good source of protein and fiber. My point is, not all burritos are bad for you =) You just have to watch what they put in them.
