    Perhaps choose a different salad. Panera has several that are 400 and under. And they are good.

    This! Their new power salads in their hidden menu are all under 400 calories. They use fresh lemon that you squeeze on yourself and olive oil, hummus or something along that line instead of dressing. They are yummy!

    What's this? I didn't even know this existed. I used to go to Panera all the time but haven't been since my office moved and I now have to drive a ways to get to one. Power Mediterranean Chicken? 360 calories, 35g protein, 8g carbs? Actual olive oil dressing instead of canola or soybean? And BACON? You, little miss, are my new hero. I think I might treat myself to lunch tomorrow...

    OMG ME TOO! One literally just opened up last month a football field away from my office building. When I used to go to Panera, I got so mad that their "healthy" choices were not that low cal. This is great news. As long as I avoid a baguette ;)
