Mariah suggested that I make a calculator for Chipotle as well – so I did!

You can find the Chipotle Calorie Calculator here.

You’ll note that I’ve also added a Nutrition database section to this website – I hope you find it useful as well.

Unfortunately, that info isn’t easy to view on a mobile phone.

Since I eat at Jimmy John’s so often, I created this table for easy reference.

It lists the nutritional info in Jimmy John’s sandwiches and side items.

The chart contains Calories, Fat, Carbohydrates, Cholesterol, Sodium, and Protein.

I hope you find this chart useful.

As a vegetarian, I like to keep an eye on my daily food intake.

In fact, I use an online fitness diary to keep track of my protein, fat, and carbohydrate intake.

However, when I’m out, I find it difficult to access nutritional information on my phone, since many restaurants publish this information in PDF format.

To make things easier on myself, I like to convert that info to HTML format for easy lookup while I’m out.

This is the nutritional information provided by Panera Bread Company, based on their PDF here at the Panara website.

The quick answer: Very few.

As you can see from the chart below, there are very few, if any, carbohydrates in Eggs.

If you are on a low carb diet, such as the Atkins diet, the incredibly low carbohydrate content of eggs makes them an excellent source of protein.

Just be careful about the cholesterol in egg yolk – while the carb content is low, cholesterol is through the roof. And it’s not the good cholesterol, either. For that reason, many people choose to eat just egg whites, and not the whole egg.

The table lists the most popular data that people are commonly interested in – calories, grams of protein, fiber, fat, and total carbs. The table also lists something called “Net Carbs,” which has caused a little confusion. What exactly are Net Carbs?

“Net Carbs” is a measure used the the Atkins diet system that attempts to measure how a particular carbohydrate that impacts blood sugar. The theory of “net carbs” holds that some carbohydrates, such as those from fiber or sugar alcohols, have a smaller effect on blood sugar levels. Counting these carbs separately allows a person on a low-carb diet to feel “full,” thus increasing the effectiveness of the deit.

The formula for calculating net carbs is as follows:

Net Carbohydrates = Total Carbohydrates – (Carbohydates from Fiber + Carbohydrates from sugar alcohols)

This whole “net carbs” thing is a somewhat controversial measure, and it gets a bit more complicated than the above.  I’m no doctor, so I’ll leave the detailed explanation to the experts.

More information is available here and here.

This article at Natural News.com lists 5 appetite control foods that will help you suppress your appetite without adding additional calories. Below are a couple of important tips from the article, along with a few of my own.

Fresh drinking water. Drink an 8-ounce glass of water when you first start feeling hungry, you will find that it suppresses your appetite in nearly every case.

Green vegetables such as lettuce, cabbage, bokchoy, and other leafy vegetables. They have so few calories that they need not even be kept track of in most diets.

Pickles. Be sure to check the label, though – some pickles contain sugars that add calories. If you have trouble finding low-calorie pickles, check your natural food store or you local Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods.

Olives: Olives contain very few calories, and are quite heart-healthy to boot.

Or-so-they-say.

In the episode Christopher’s girlfriend Julianna suggests that they brew up some tea using 10 bags of valerian, a root that she says is related to and has the same effects as Valium.

Hmmm, interesting. But can it be true?

A little research revealed that Valerian tea is made from the root of the Valerian plant. This plant has been known to science since at least the time of the Ancient Greeks and Romans, who used it as a medicinal herb, mostly because of it’s calming properties.

Celestial Seasonings’ Sleepytime Extra™ Wellness Tea contains at least some Valerian root:

This powerfully effective Wellness Herb Tea contains a potent herb not found in Sleepytime – valerian – that promotes extra fast, restful, natural sleep.* Valerian is a folklore favorite used for centuries to soothe the mind and body at bedtime.*

Fortunately, I learned long ago not to believe everything you read on product packaging, so I sought out the opinion of a medical professional, one whose livelyhood didn’t depend on selling me tea. Doctor Siegel, in his column that “explain[s] the medical facts behind medical fictions often depicted in the media,” shares the following:

VALERIAN is an herb with sedative properties used to ease insomnia and anxiety. It isn’t chemically related to Valium, and it won’t relieve a cough. Long-term use of the herb has been shown to have addictive properties, but there is no evidence that its use — whether in tea or capsule form — would cause someone to return to drug addiction.

OK, so according to Doc, not related to Valium, but used to cure insominia.

Being something of an insomniac myself, I headed down to my local organic market and purchased a box of Valerian Root tea distributed by Alvita, an herbal tea company owned by nutritional supplement giant Twinlab. I can tell you, first hand, that at least one thing they say about Valerian tea is true – it smells HORRIBLE. As to whether it has any sedative properties or not, I can’t say. It didn’t seem to, at least not in the preparation that I used.

Chipotle Mexican Grill makes some of the best tasting burritos in the world – unfortunately, they’re not always the healthiest option available.

With their neat-o flash website, unconventional marketing, and commitment to natural foods, Chipotle restaurant projects and ultra-hip image. For this reason, many people are surprised to learn that Chipotle is actually owned by the McDonald’s corporation. In what must be a carefully calculated marketing strategy, Chipotle has made it difficult for consumers to learn the nutritional value of most of their menu items. In fact, one consumer reports receiving the following response when requesting nutritional information from the company:

‘Unfortunately, sorry, we have never performed any analyses of our food to determine nutritional information at this time. If you or your website clients have a specific allergy or food intolerance or the like, then I would be happy to help y’all with the ingredients.’

Fortunately, the good folks at Chipotlefan.com make it easy to estimate the nutritional value of a Chipotle burrito with this nifty Chipotle Nutrition Calculator. Here are the stats for my favorite, a steak burrito with black beans, rice, cheese, sour cream, 2 sauces and lettuce:

Chipotle Nutrition

Wow, 49g of fat and 1280 calories! Not to even mention that the Sodium content is well over the USDA recommended maxiumu of 2400 mg per day.

How does your burrito rate?
