Eating at Chipotle can be a great option for those looking to make healthy choices while on the go.

The fast casual chain offers a wide variety of ingredients, allowing customers to make their own burritos, bowls, tacos, salads and more, with tons of toppings to choose from.

The number of options is exciting (who doesn’t love guac?) — but can also be overwhelming if you’re looking to stick to a low-calorie diet.

Angel Planells, a Seattle-based registered dietitian nutritionist and national media spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics, spoke to TODAY.com about what to look out for when you’re ordering at Chipotle.

“You can mix or modify (your order) to to fit within your budget, and also your (desired caloric intake) or your lifestyle.”

Natalie Rizzo, TODAY.com nutrition editor and registered dietitian, also points to Chipotle’s menu as a great way to create a healthy meal while out of the house.

“The nice thing about Chipotle is that you can customize every order. Therefore, basically anything you order can include healthy ingredients, like lean protein and plenty of veggies,” she says.

When choosing foods you didn’t prepare yourself, Planells says to ask yourself: “How does this fit into my day?”

If you’re choosing to make Chipotle a part of your day, here’s a break down of some of the healthiest options the menu has to offer, according to two registered dietitians.

Burrito bowl

A Chipotle tortilla has 320 calories, so one of the easiest ways to make a healthy choice at Chipotle is to choose a burrito bowl over a typical burrito, Planells says.

“That’ll save you 320 calories, right there. That’s an easy start,” he says, adding that bowls are easier to break into smaller portions as well. “At least for the burrito bowl, you can (separate) it in half and have it again later. So there’s an option there.”

As for the proteins for your bowl, many of the proteins hover between the 150 to 180 calorie mark — though the new smoked brisket comes to 360 calories, and the carnitas is 210 calories.

Planells notes that brown and white rice at Chipotle are both 210 calories, and that black and pinto beans are both 130 calories, meaning there isn’t much of a difference between either choice calorie-wise. (Though brown rice, for example, has other nutritional benefits, like being whole-grain.)

Rizzo is a vegetarian, and her go-to order is a burrito bowl with brown rice, black beans, sofritas, lettuce, salsa and guacamole, she says.

“It has a combination of protein from the tofu sofritas and black beans, healthy carbs from the brown rice and veggies and healthy fat from the guacamole,” Rizzo says. And she agrees with Planells that serving size is within your control. “The serving size is large though, so you may want to only eat half and save the other half for another meal.”

Lifestyle bowl

Both Rizzo and Planells recommend the lifestyle bowls at Chipotle, which are available online and on the Chipotle app.

Rizzo recommends the Go Half Veggie bowl, which comes with a half portion of chicken, a half portion of sofritas, lettuce, rice, fajita veggies, tomato salsa, chili-corn salsa and sour cream.

“It’s well-balanced with plenty of veggies and protein,” she says. “To reduce the calories, leave off the sour cream.”

Planells added that the lifestyle bowls are a great option, as they have many modifications made automatically. He mentions the Balanced Marcos Bowl, which includes light rice, black beans, fajita veggies, fresh tomato salsa, guac and extra romaine lettuce.

Planells also pointed out the Wholesome Bowl with carnitas, which comes out to 490 calories. The bowl includes chicken, grilled veggies, tomato salsa and guacamole on a bed of greens. “You may not get the rice, you may not get the beans, but you’re getting other things to to make the meal wholesome,” says Planells.

Kid’s meal

Rizzo also recommends the kid’s meal at Chipotle, even if you’re not a kid.

“It includes 2 tacos (soft or hard), a choice of protein— opt for something leaner, like chicken— and two toppings, like black beans and fresh tomato salsa,” she says.

The kid’s meal also comes with a small side of chips or fruit and a small drink. To get more fiber into your meal, opt for the fruit, Rizzo says.

“This is a good option if you want to limit your portion size but still get a tasty meal,” Rizzo says.

Steak salad

While steak isn’t the leanest meat option out there, “if you really want steak at Chipotle,” says Rizzo, “order it in a salad to balance out the fattiness of the meat with extra fiber and nutrients.”

She suggests also adding optional plant-based toppings including black beans, salsa or fajita veggies.

Keep in mind:

You’re in control of toppings

Another option to stay healthy at Chipotle is asking for light toppings, Planells says.

“If you want the cheese, you’re looking at 110 to 120 calories. You can ask them to be light on the cheese,” he says. “So the nice thing is, you can modify.”

The same thing goes for sour cream, Planells adds. If you add the full serving of sour cream, it comes out to 110 calories, but if you ask for a smaller portion, it will be closer to 50 or 60 calories.

Paying attention to the salsas is important as well, Planells says.

“If you do the corn salsa, which most people like to add on, it’s 80 calories. But if you do the other ones there, the green chili is at 15, the fresh tomatoes is 25 and the tomatillo red chili is 30,” he says.

Guacamole — the “pièce de résistance” of a Chipotle order, Planells notes — is 230 calories and costs extra. Planells explains it could be healthier and cheaper to cut up your own avocado at home.

Consider your chips and your drink

Further down the menu, Planells points out the difference between a large chips and dip versus a regular portion: Chips and guac are 770 calories and an order of large chips and guac is 1,270 calories.

Chips and queso have a similar increase: A regular portion of chips and queso is 780 calories, while a large portion is 1,290 calories.

“You could really go over the top there,” he notes, “and then, of course, the beverages.”

Lemonades at Chipotle range from 170 to 330 calories, and sodas range from 0 calories for a Coke Zero to 170 calories for a Strawberry Izze, according to the company’s menu. Instead, opt for water, Planells suggests.

Refer to the Chipotle app

The Chipotle app can be a great place to check the nutritional content of the ingredients, Planells and Rizzo say.

Instead of cruising down the line adding toppings willy-nilly, customers can take a moment to consider the nutritional value of what they’re eating.
