    Subway oven roasted chicken footlong on wheat with no cheese, lett, tomato, black olives, onion, banana peppers, and jalapeño

    Panera it depends but lately I like the asiago roast beef on sourdough and no horseradish.

    Also I like their current hot turkey and cranberry panino.

    I get the fuji apple chicken salad with cheese. I just exercise more that night because it's so good.

    when ever I see their cookies I tell myself I could have a cup of my favorite ice cream for 1/2 the calories and a fraction of the price. It helps me walk away.

    I normally order either one of the paninis or the chicken noodle soup (NOT in the bread bowl)

    Never eaten at Panera.

    At Subway, I get the same thing: 6" veggie on white, no cheese, no condiments. I'm actually following doctor's orders and restricting sodium which restricts what you can eat if you want to eat more than once/day. If sodium isn't a problem, I'd suggest the sweet onion chicken teriyaki, spicy Italian (local fave, a BMT without the ham), or rib. I love the herb and cheese bread.

    I don't usually eat out...the sodium is a killer!! If I have ot I order the veggie sandwich on wheat with avocado, tomato, lettuce a few black olives and a little mustard. No cheese, or pickles. I love them but to high in fat & sodium

    My kids like Subway for some reason. The only thing that I like there right now is their Chop Salads. You can get whatever veggies you want, but I use my own dressing at home.

    I love both restaurants and eat there quite often. Both will blow out your sodium macros for the day if your not careful. But this is what I typically order.

    Subway:

    6" Egg White and Cheese Flatbread w/ Pepperjack Cheese & All the Veggies (Spinach instead of lettuce though) - 360 cals
    6" Veggie Delight w/ Swiss Cheese/ All the Veggies/ Lt. Sweet Onion Sauce - 230 cals
    6" Subway Club w/ Swiss Cheese/ All the Veggies/ Lt. Sweet Onion Sauce - 440 cals

    Panera:

    Tuna Sandwich on Honey Wheat w/ L,T,O (no xtra mayo or mustard) - 520 cals/ sandwich
    YP2 - 1/2 Tuna Sandwich and 1/2 Asian Chicken Salad - (260 cals + 200 cals)
    Turkey Harvest Salad (High Protein: Carb Ratio) - The Whole Salad

    Other YP2 Options I commonly eat:
    - BBQ Chicken Salad
    - French Onion Soup
    - Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich
    - Tomato Soup
    - Chicken Corn Chowder

    For the sides: I like the whole wheat baguette and the chips (they're about 150 cals a piece), and I always ask for xtra pickles. And I the acai berry tea with splenda is another fave! Hope that helps :)

    At subway, I usually get the BLT and veggie sandwich on wheat (or italian herbs & cheese bread). But, I have switched. Yesterday, I got a grilled chicken salad, and it was DELICIOUS!!! And healthy. A LOT less sodium.

    The last order I placed at Subway was for a 6 inch baked chicken sandwich on flat bread with lots of green veggies. I liked it very much. I haven't been a big Subway fan over the years due to the huge slabs of bread, but discovered I like the flat bread better. DH is gluten intolerant, and they now have gluten free buns available in addition to regular bread. It is also relatively easy to find a realistic calorie count, although I'm sure my choices make it a bit higher. We're planning a major road trip in November, so this will add to our "road food" alternatives. I've never been to Panera.

    Your best bets are their salads with some added protein (chicken, turkey).

    Just watch the dressings they can be heavy calorie. Get an apple instead of bread or chips. Etc..it's all about good choices.

    I'm not sure I get the sodium issue unless you have a water retention or other health problem.

    I LOVE Panera, Subway is okay, but Panera is my favorite place!

    I always get a oven-roasted chicken on whole wheat at Subway, no cheese though. It's 310 cals, not bad. I always ask for a bit of lite mayo though, which only bring the cals up by another 50.

    On the Subway 'big bread' - I've read that if you ask, they'll scoop out the middle, which should leave it even lower in calories.
    But, for me in the end I'm eating to be filled up a bit and to provide some energy, so might as well have the extra few.

    My go-to's are...

    Subway - 6 inch chicken on Italian herbs and cheese bread, American cheese, lettuce, spinach, tomato, onion, green pepper, honey mustard and a dab of light mayo.

    Panera - I do the pick two and get the ham and swiss and usually broccoli soup.

    I've been feeling frisky lately, so I've been trying to really change it up when I go.

    Panera: Pick 2, frontega chicken and broc cheese soup.

    At Panera I get the You Pick Two combo with chicken noodle soup, half a smoked turkey sandwich on white (less calories than the bread it normally comes with) and an apple. 310 calories and I don't feel the slightest bit deprived.

    I don't Panera, but Subway... yum.

    I usually stick to a 6" Subway Melt on wheat with american cheese, lettuce, pickles and light mayo. It's 410 cals, I believe.
    I've also gotten the Tuscan Chicken sandwich. I don't remember what I got on it, but it was delicious.

    Just get on subway.com and go through their sandwiches, you can "build your own" and see the nutrition info. :)
