Those are good tips. I'll have to give your suggestions a try the next time I go to Panera. I wish they could be more consistent with the soup offerings. I love the low fat vegetarian black bean soup but it's not always available where I live. Lori Alyssa,

Thank you! Those are good tips. I’ll have to give your suggestions a try the next time I go to Panera.

I wish they could be more consistent with the soup offerings. I love the low fat vegetarian black bean soup but it’s not always available where I live.

Total calories-330, and it is delicious! They also have a very handy nutritional calculator on their website where you can select any menu item and add, subtract or substitute other ingredients (such as breads, sauces, and any toppings) to customize your meal! --My other favorite is if you pair the same sandwich in the You Pick Two with the Low Fat Vegetarian Black Bean soup, except I normally leave the cilantro hummus on the sandwich since its only half. Total calories for the cup of soup and half sandwich-310 : ) My favorite at Panera is the Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich, except I substitute Whole Grain White bread instead of the Tomato Basil Loaf (which cuts 200 cals), and Horseradish sauce instead of the Cilantro Hummus (saving 70 cals).

I'm making more of a point now to mention the sodium content when I report about restaurant food than I did when I originally wrote this article. Thanks for sharing the tip about the classic salad!

But I work there part time for the past 4 years and the amount of sodium in basically everything is extremely high. The one good thing on there menu is the classic salad. Low in calories and very low sodium compared to the rest of the menu. But if you have any questions on any items we have full nutritional guides in the cafes to show you if you ask.
