Colorado Springs Man Eats Chipotle For 100 Days Straight, Becomes Internet Hero

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (CBS4) - A Colorado Springs man is making national headlines for his lunch choices.

Mark Rantal said he started eating Chipotle for lunch for a few days in a row by accident, then it became a week ... and now he's up to 107 days.

Rantal says he didn't have a particular goal to reach, but 100 days of Chipotle has become a feat.

"I'm sure I'll find days when I want something else, and if on that day my desire to keep the streak going is stronger than my desire for something else, then the streak gets to live on," said Rantal.

He is being praised across various social media by Chipotle-lovers as a hero and an idol.

Rantal ordered the same meal every time, a fajita burrito bowl, and says he gained about 14 pounds. It's weight that he's been trying to gain back after ending being a vegetarian for a period of time.
