Many of you have asked whether Chipotle (meat and veggies only, obviously) is an IP-friendly restaurant. I went yesterday and spoke with the manager. She gave me some very interesting information!
Veggies are safe -- just salt, pepper, adobo, oregano and some other seasonings (I don't remember which, just that they are IP safe!)
Beef is safe - same ingredients as above
Chicken is not safe. Surprisingly, they marinade the chicken with salt, pepper, adobo and honey!
I did not ask about the barbacoa or carnitas (sorry!), but I hope this is helpful for those who enjoy Chipotle!

I'm on day 4 of IP and had chicken with lettuce like 3 teaspoons of pepper sauce and green onions/peppers from chipotle. Ugh. I weighed myself tonight and I gained 2 lbs. I thought I was safe.
Julmango, I found this while looking at the link, Meinola provided. I would say there might be hope you got chicken without honey. I would check if your location has this type of grill mentioned.
"In Chipotle restaurants with a plancha grill we add a drizzle of honey to our Chicken marinade."

I question how all the veggies are safe. The onions/peppers are prepared in a big skillet - therefore the onions would carmelize and therefore not be IP compliant.
Just a thought.
I love Chipotle, but haven't been there since I started IP.

Is this the time of day you had weighed initially? We can fluctuate 2 lbs per day easily. You certainly know that isn't 2 lbs if fat
