    I would drop dead if that's all I ate in a day!

    How can you work at Panera and not gorge yourself on their sandwiches, salads, soups, and bakery stuff every day?!? I admire your self control. If I worked there I'd gain about a hundred pounds.

    Sorry, no helpful input on your food. Looks pretty good to me! :flowerforyou:

    I agree, more veggies and protien. Dairy has some good protein so maybe a yogurt or milk. Also read your nutrition facts from Panera. Not bad, but definitely not a fave on my list of places to go while on a diet. I think many people's mistakes are making the assumption that salads are good for them. There isn't much nutrition in lettuce and the toppings can be a killer. Make a good salad - not a bad one :)

    Looks a little on the lite side.

    All the youngstas in a hurry. If you read the posts, you should come to the conclusion you may be setting yourself up for a yo-yo life. That's what I did until I got the message. The thing is, if you eat this way while you lose weight, when you go back to eating a healthy diet, you will STILL gain weight. You will have to diet ALL the time to maintain a healthy weight.

    And that's what I think. :smile:

    More protein and fat for sure.... Instead of fruit 3 times a day, try some almonds or macadamias... Also watch the soup for high sodium! Hope this helps :)

    Agreed! Best salads I've ever head. Also love how their menus include calorie count

    Anyways about your diet, the major thing I would worry about (which someone else already pointed out) would be whether or not it's sustainable. If you plan on eating this same thing every day then I hope you really really really like your fruits and salads lol otherwise try coming up with a few different things, swapping here and there. Also seems a little low on the calorie side. The best piece of advise that I have is trial and error. I'm sure most posters here and gone through many different dietary plans before they found something that they could stick with. You'll probably end up changing this one many times over.
