Chipotle Sofritas Nutrition Facts

Sofritas does not mirror the meat macro pattern

Chipotle sofritas lists 150 calories in the standard four-ounce serving, matching steak for the lowest calorie value among the five core proteins. The similarity ends there. Sofritas provides 8 grams of protein, 9 grams of carbohydrate, 3 grams of fiber, 5 grams of sugar, and 10 grams of fat.

The same row carries 560 milligrams of sodium, the highest figure in the five-protein comparison. Only 1.5 grams of its fat is saturated, which is lower than every meat row, but the total fat is higher than chicken, steak, or barbacoa. Sofritas is a distinct composition, not a data-equivalent substitute with a different name.

The calorie tie with steak can mislead

Steak and sofritas both have 150 calories, yet steak lists 21 grams of protein versus 8 for sofritas. Steak has 1 gram of carbohydrate and 6 grams of fat, compared with 9 grams and 10 grams respectively for sofritas. Sofritas supplies more fiber and less saturated fat, so the better fit depends on which fields matter.

Chicken adds 30 calories but quadruples the protein total from 8 to 32 grams and reduces sodium by 250 milligrams. Barbacoa adds 20 calories and triples protein to 24 grams with 30 milligrams less sodium. Looking only at the 150-calorie headline would hide those sizable differences.

Planning a sofritas bowl

Black beans can raise a sofritas order to 16 grams of protein and 10 grams of fiber from the two standard portions. That pair also reaches 710 milligrams of sodium before salsa or dressing. Fresh tomato salsa would add 550 milligrams, and vinaigrette would add 850, making the sodium column especially important.

Rice is not required for a complete comparison and contributes 210 calories per standard portion. A bowl with beans, vegetables, and a lower-sodium green component can leave more room than a burrito, whose tortilla adds 320 calories, 50 grams of carbohydrate, and 600 milligrams of sodium. The suitable combination depends on the total rather than the protein name.

Interpreting plant-based intent carefully

The nutrition JSON records values, not ingredient guarantees or suitability for a particular dietary identity. This page can show that sofritas differs in protein, fiber, saturated fat, sugar, and sodium, but it cannot establish allergen status or preparation practices. Current ingredient and cross-contact questions belong with the restaurant.

Use sofritas when its actual macro tradeoff fits the meal: lower saturated fat than the meat proteins, meaningful fiber, but less protein and more sodium than several alternatives. The four-ounce source serving is a reference amount, and a prepared scoop may not match it exactly.
