FYI, Chipotle is owned by McDonalds, so the "healthy" part is just an illusion.

My normal burrito is 1210 caloires and 60 grams of fat.

I guess I'll be eating a lot less Chipotle.

What is your aversion to brown baggin it? If lunch is a social thing I understand but you would save tons of money and make it as healthy as you like if you chose your own food and bought it yourself.

If not, Wendy's , McD, BK all have a wider selection of salads and healthier food now.

get grilled chicken or fish item whenever possible.

Good luck
well, i am not a morning person. brown baggin' it would require me to wake up early and make something when i already have enough trouble waking up at all just to go to work. i won't make it the night before either as i kind of like my food to not sit overnight.

Dude...where do you live? Mars?

Go to a GOOD deli, with good coldcuts, and get a good sandwich.

Should cost no more than 6 bucks, and be MUCH healthier than anything else.

Subway is crap. Airbread and lettuce. They give you like 1 slice of meat, and a pile of vegetables. Nothing beats a good deli. Most delis also have good food. Italian places also have good lunches. Im in NYC, and eat for under $10 a day.
not quite mars, although my head is there sometimes. and i don't know where you live, but a good deli around hollywood, CA (if you can find one) isn't cheap or very good for that matter. i assume we are different than NYC as i can imagine there is a good deli around every corner.



...i guess an average meal around here is $7-$8 for food/sides, $2 for a drink tax and tip take it to about $12-$13 on average.

dude... we are talking about the United States Capitol of Vegetarians. half the people at work are vegetarians, hell, half the people in california are vegetarians.

damn, it isn't cheap to eat healthy, especially if you are a vegetarian and it is even worse for vegans. i don't know how they do it.

Ummm...you would be SADLY mistaken. Considering the meat in it is overcooked hamburgers, and ones that are not good enough to serve as a sandwich....makes you wonder.
