Nutrition Notes for This Menu Item

For about 340 calories, 14 total fat grams and 7 of the saturated variety, you can enjoy this chicken-based entree even while on a weight loss plan. There is ample room to add a side item as well; perhaps some Mexican rice or beans?

There are three versions of the Enchirito offered - chicken, steak and beef. The healthiest selection is the chicken, then the steak - and finally the beef.

Because of the high sodium (table salt) content of this menu item, you may experience an increase in the bathroom scale readings as sodium is notorious for water retention issues which may require several days for the body to rectify and release.

Your Next Meal

Be sure to add some healthy vegetables and pair with foods that are low in sodium content.

While the caloric values of the Chicken Enchirito are not over the top, it is a heavy food - and becomes even more such when other food choices are added.

Therefore, eating healthier for your next meal makes a very wise move.

Even though the values can fit into your plan, they can only do such when the amount of food is limited.

For example, if a regular sweetened beverage is added to the meal along with a side item, then this combination of foods will not fit well into your diet plan.

Therefore, choose wisely.

When you feel great about the food and drink choices that you make, you will be more apt to fully enjoy them.
