Chipotle
A build-your-own menu makes Chipotle easy to steer. Rice and a flour tortilla are where the carbs stack up: a bowl over a burrito, with extra fajita veg, is the steadiest base.

How to read this
We rank by net carbs because, for most people, the amount of digestible carbohydrate is what moves glucose most after a meal, more than the glycemic load of any single ingredient. Fiber is subtracted because it passes through largely undigested. The surest read is your own: a post-meal reading an hour or two later shows how your body actually handled the order.
