Nutrition 101

When you are watching your caloric intake, eating out can be a nightmare. You have to plan ahead. Research the menu, look for online nutritional information, and do not be afraid to ask the server to make substitutions. Do not feel bad to order your food the way you want it prepared!

If you are are frequent Panera visitor, please check out http://www.paneranutrition.com/ on the Internet and learn about the calories you are consuming. You may be very SHOCKED to find what you thought was a healthy option is really 1200 calories.

Two Recommendations at Panera
Breakfast
Breakfast Power Sandwich- Hold the cheese!

Lunch or Dinner
Customize a Frontego Chicken Hot Panini: Instead of the 860 calorie as is version, try this 300 calorie version!

First of all the Foccio bread should be replaced by the White Whole Grain Bread and worse case scenario the rye but that would add another 110 calories to the overall sandwich.

Second, hold the cheese and the mayo!
