I'm here now and tired of my usual turkey breast sandwich and chicken noodle soup. Any other low cal ideas?

    Greek Salad without dressing. You can ask for the dressing on the side and dip your fork, but the feta onions salt papper and olives give it enough flavor for me and the bread that comes with it is DELICIOUS. They even have a whole wheat bread option, you just have to ask. The salad and bread have about 350 calories.
  • asian chicken salad - the dressing is low sugar. of course, you could request that dressing for other salads.
    black bean soup

    The black bean soup is good and low cal but watch the sodium!

    I usually go with the Greek Salad too. But if I am feeling fruity I have the Turkey Harvest Salad...or the Thai salad....all so good! I did the nutrition calc on the website and added each salad to my "meal," adjusted them as I saw fit and then you can print it out. A great quick reference guide depending on your goals for the day.

    I used to get their chocolate chip cookies (lol). That was before I decided to loose this weight. I no longer eat at Panera's because of their portion size. They may have some "healthy" items on their menu but their portion sizes are double what is normal. Even their half sandwiches have way too many calories in them!

    Minestrone soup and black bean soup are really low-cal. Also the half thai chicken salad.

    You pick two:
    broccoli cheese soup
    asian sesame salad

    400 total calories - but I think the portions are larger than the ones that were tested for nutrition, so I usually log it as 500.

    The first time I had Panera bread was when I purchased $400 worth of sandwhiches for my wife's best friend's wedding shower. I tried to eat every left over sandwhich, pickle spear, and cookie so it didn't go to waste. Thank goodness I wasn't loggin calories at the time...
