A large cheese burrito is a 738-calorie meal
Size does almost all the work here. A mini burrito of 75 g comes in at 246 calories, a regular 150 g burrito at 492, and a large 225 g burrito at 738. Against the daily value, that is 12%, 25% and 37% of a day's calories. The filling barely changes; the tortilla and cheese simply scale up.
Protein scales with it. The mini gives 10.3 g, the regular 20.5 g and the large 30.8 g, which is 62% of the daily value. So the large burrito is a real meal, not a snack, and it should be logged like one.
Doubling up is where totals run away. Two regular burritos weigh 300 g and add up to 984 calories. Three come to 1,476, and five, the kind of count you hit when splitting a frozen multipack with family, reach 2,460. If you reach for a second one, count it on purpose rather than by habit.
Fat is the biggest share of the calories
The calorie split is 46% fat, 38% carbs and 17% protein. That makes a cheese burrito a fat-led food, even though carbs win on grams: 100 g holds 30.6 g of carbs against 16.5 g of fat. Fat simply carries more energy per gram, so the cheese ends up driving the total.
Saturated fat is the part of that fat worth noticing. It sits at 8.6 g per 100 g, about half of all the fat, measured against a daily value of 20 g. If you track saturated fat, the regular serving uses a big piece of your budget in one sitting.
Protein is respectable rather than high. At 13.7 g per 100 g, a regular burrito still delivers 20.5 g, or 41% of the daily value, mostly from the cheese. It is a decent anchor for a meal, but you are paying for that protein with a lot of fat.
Sodium is the row to watch
Every 100 g of cheese burrito carries 704 mg of sodium, 31% of the daily value of 2300 mg. Cheese and a salted flour tortilla both contribute, and neither can be scraped off after the fact.
Per serving, the numbers climb fast. A mini holds 528 mg, or 23% of the daily value. A regular holds 1,056 mg, or 46%, and a large holds 1,584 mg, or 69%. Two regular burritos come to 2,112 mg, which leaves very little room under the daily value for anything else you eat that day.
If you watch sodium, the mini size is the easiest fix, and skipping salty extras such as chips or a second cheese-heavy item matters more than trimming the burrito itself. For reference, a general burrito on our pages runs 486 mg per 100 g, noticeably lower than this one.
Build the rest of the plate around fiber
What a cheese burrito lacks is easy to read off the label. Fiber is 2.1 g per 100 g, so a regular burrito gives 3.2 g against a daily value of 28 g. Potassium is 112 mg per 100 g against a daily value of 4700 mg. Sugar is low at 3.8 g per regular burrito, so that is not the concern.
That points to the sides. Fresh salsa, a crisp salad, grilled peppers or a piece of fruit add volume and fiber without much extra fat or salt. Sour cream and extra cheese push the burrito further in the direction it already leans.
Frozen versions from Ramona's, Amy's or Tina's are convenient, and several of them add beans or rice, so check the package rather than assuming the cheese-only numbers. Homemade or frozen, BodyPal can log a burrito from a photo, which helps when the size does not match any label.
How does cheese burrito compare?
Here is how a cheese burrito stacks up against a regular burrito, a breakfast burrito and an egg burrito, per 100 g and per usual serving.
Verdict: For weight loss the regular burrito is the better pick, at 219 calories and 486 mg of sodium per 100 g against 328 and 704 for the cheese version. If you want cheese and eggs in the morning, an egg burrito at 249 per 100 g beats both the breakfast burrito at 277 and this one.

Most packaged burritos add beans or rice to the filling, so they read lower per 100 g than a cheese-only burrito. Source: manufacturer labels / USDA FoodData Central.
