What is the healthiest thing to eat at Panera Bread?

 
The healthiest things to eat at Panera Bread:
  • Avocado, Egg White & Spinach.
  • Steel Cut Oatmeal with Almonds, Quinoa and Honey.
  • Steel Cut Oatmeal with Blueberries, Granola & Cinnamon Crunch Topping.
  • Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich.

Even though Panera Bread bills itself as a healthy alternative to most fast-food chains, many of its sandwiches are no healthier—or they're worse than what you'd find at a McDonald's. The "Sierra Turkey" on Asiago cheese focaccia has 920 calories, 49 grams of fat, and 1,900 mg of salt.

½ turkey sandwich on whole-grain bread = 280 calories, 11g protein and ½ Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich on Tomato Basil Bread = 220 calories, 9g protein.

Caesar Salad with Chicken (whole): Nix the croutons and sub in your own dressing of choice. Greek Salad (whole): Perfect as is at only 7 net carbs — 390 calories | 36g fat | 11g carbs | 4g fiber | 6g protein.

While Panera does have some healthy soups, if you put any of them in a bread bowl, your meal can quickly go from healthy to full-out calorie-bomb. A bread bowl itself has 590 calories.
