Dietitians weigh in on some of the most-popular fast-food burritos.
, points out that many fast-food chain burritos are typically made with beef cooked in oil, large amounts of cheese, sour cream, and guacamole. Often, these burritos will have high amounts of saturated fat, total fat, and sodium."This can all undermine your health and raise your risk of obesity, heart disease, and diabetes," she says.
However, it's not all bad news. Hartnett explains that, thankfully, many chains allow you to make your own burrito, which is an opportunity to create a healthier version. If a restaurant offers this, Hartnett says to opt for beans, lean meats, grilled chicken, a bit of brown rice, and plenty of vegetables to help boost vitamins and minerals."Thein the vegetables and brown rice—white rice has most of the fiber removed—helps you feel fuller longer, lowers cholesterol levels, and helps control blood sugar levels," she says. Add cheese and sour cream in small amounts and finish it with fresh lettuce and salsa to add a bit more flavor.
If a customizable burrito isn't an option, she advises going for a burrito bowl."These are more easily customizable and can often be made with a brown rice base, plenty of beans and vegetables, and grilled chicken," she says."Skip the cheese and sour cream and opt for plenty of salsa and a bit of guacamole."
Taking these tips into consideration, we put together a list of the unhealthiest fast-food burritos available right now so you can steer clear. From a burrito that has over 3,000 milligrams of sodium to another that has a staggering 100 grams of carbs, here are seven fast-food burritos that you should skip.
