So I ordered a chicken bowl in my local Chipotle store today, and the guy working the line dropped what looked like a miserable, half-empty spoonful of chicken. It was basically a garnish. Since I’m running a strict macro tracking cut and logging everything, getting shorted on protein sucks, so I stopped him, made him give me an extra portion, but strictly demanded it in a separate side cup so he couldn't hide a weak scoop underneath the rice and beans. Got home, threw both portions on my digital scale, and here is what the data actually showed: • Chipotle theoretical single portion: 113g (4 oz) • Line Worker's Bowl Scoop: 86 grams (Shorted by nearly an ounce—over 25% of the protein missing!) • The Side Cup Portion (when forced to fill it in the open): 115 grams (Spot on to the corporate standard) The Takeaway: If you care about your macros, your money, or just getting what you actually paid for, never let them put meat directly into your bowl. They know they can get away with hiding a pathetic scoop under the rice. Has anyone else started doing this, or am I just losing my mind?   submitted by   /u/Holiday-Awareness287 [link]   [comments]
