What are SmartPoints (and why should I track them instead of calories)?

About Barburrito

Barburrito first opened its doors in the UK in 2005, and has been feeding the nation authentic Mexican-style cuisine ever since - think burritos, tacos and tortilla chips.

And is there anything better than a burrito to satisfy a rumbling stomach? Rice, meat, beans and veg rolled up in a tortilla wrap, then topped with anything from salsa to fresh guacamole…sounds good to us!

From London to Aberdeen, Barburrito is ideal for a quick pit stop when you're out and about. They're also on Deliveroo, so you can get your burrito fix at home if you fancy a takeaway.

SmartPoints® tracking: nacho problem

Since Barburrito is all about building your own meal (a bit like Subway), you'll need to track the different components of your meal.

Don't worry: all the ingredients are available and clearly labelled in the WW app, which makes tracking super simple. Just scroll down to 'Browse Restaurants' on your My Day screen, choose 'Restaurant name' and scroll down to Barburrito.

Your step-by-step guide to the WW app

Let's taco about mains

First things first: which dish should you pick? There's plenty to choose from: a classic, loaded or superfood burrito, a 'naked' burrito, tacos or nachos. You can also get a superfood bowl.

Next up, choose your filling: the bulk of your burrito. Which meat? Which rice? Which vegetables? To pinto bean or not to pinto bean?

Then decide whether you'd like any toppings or extras such as jalapenos, cheese or sour cream, and whether you want any sides, like tortilla chips. (Tacos generally come with tortilla chips and salsa on the side.)

Helpful hints:

If you want slaw instead of rice in your wrap, go for the superfood burrito.
If you don't want the wrap but you want everything else, order the naked burrito.
If you want to double up on meat, go for the loaded burrito. You'll also get guacamole.
The superfood bowl is a loaded bowl with slaw and other fresh ingredients, including guacamole.
If you gettacos, it's worth knowing that different shells have different SmartPoints values. Do you want a hard shell or a soft shell? Corn flour or wheat flour? Scroll down to find the SmartPoints values of each.

SmartPoints tracking tips:

Loaded burrito

For the loaded burrito double your main filling and add guacamole:

Example: Regular tortilla wrap (10SP) + 2 portions of regular grilled chicken (6SP) + regular portion of white rice (2SP) + pinto beans (0SP) + jalapenos (0SP) + lettuce (0SP) + guacamole (3SP) = 21SP

Superfood burrito

For the superfood burrito do not include rice, and double up on the slaw and guacamole:

Example: Small tortilla wrap (7SP) + small portion of grilled chicken (2SP) + pinto beans (0SP) + double portion of slaw (2SP) + double portion of guacamole (6SP) + lettuce (0SP) = 17SP

Naked burrito

For the naked burrito do not include the wrap, add 1.5 portions of rice, and double your lettuce portion:

Example: 1.5 regular portions of white rice (3SP) + regular portion of grilled chicken (3SP) + pinto beans (0SP) + onion and peppers (0SP) + jalapenos (0SP) + regular portion of Pico de Gallo salsa (1SP) + small portion of cheese (2SP) = 9SP

Superfood bowl

For the superfood bowl do not include the wrap, add an extra portion of slaw and double up on lettuce:

Example: Regular portion of spicy shredded beef (5SP) + regular portion of brown rice (3SP) + black beans (0SP) + onion and peppers (0SP) + double portion of slaw (2SP) + guacamole (3SP) + lettuce (0SP) = 13SP

Tacos

For the tacos track a small portion of meat, a small portion of lettuce, 1/3 slaw per taco, half a portion of tortilla chips and a portion of salsa (plus anything else you'd like, such as sauce or cheese):

Example: Corn soft dos tacos (3SP) + small portion of grilled chicken (2SP) + onion & peppers (0SP) + portion of slaw (1SP) + small portion of sour cream (1SP) + jalapenos (0SP) + lettuce (0SP) + small portion of cheese (2SP) + half a portion of tortilla chips (7SP) + small portion of Pico de Gallo salsa (0SP) = 16SP

Room for dessert?

If you fancy finishing with something sweet, the churros - fried dough dusted with sugar or cinnamon - are 24SP. Share with a friend or put your Weeklies to work!

How many SmartPoints am I allowed on WW?
