Chipotle Guacamole Nutrition Facts
Chipotle guacamole has 230 calories per 4 oz serving as a topping, with 22g of fat and 8g of carbs. The large side doubles everything: 460 calories, 44g of fat, 740mg of sodium.
Guacamole is the highest calorie topping on the entire Chipotle menu. It has more calories per serving than chicken (180 cal), steak (150 cal), or rice (210 cal). The fat is predominantly monounsaturated (the "good" kind from avocados), but 230 calories is 230 calories regardless of fat type.
How Many Calories Are in Chipotle Guacamole?
Two serving sizes are available:
| Size | Calories | Protein | Fat | Carbs | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Topping/Side (4 oz) | 230 | 2g | 22g | 8g | 370mg |
| Large Side (8 oz) | 460 | 4g | 44g | 16g | 740mg |
The large side is exactly double. 460 calories for a side of guac is worth pausing on.
Is Chipotle Guacamole Worth the Extra Calories?
Adding guac to a standard chicken bowl (765 cal) bumps it to 995 cal. That's a 30% increase from a single topping. Here's what 230 calories gets you from different options:
| What 230 Calories Gets You | Protein | Fat |
|---|---|---|
| Guacamole (4 oz) | 2g | 22g |
| Chicken (4 oz) | 32g | 7g |
| Black beans + cheese (combo) | 14g | 9.5g |
From a pure protein standpoint, guac is the worst trade on the menu. From a fat quality standpoint, the avocado-based monounsaturated fats are widely considered healthy. It's a personal call.
