Getting dressing on the side can reduce fat incredibly, as most salads' fat comes from including the dressing totals. You can also choose a lower fat dressing or not use any. The nutritional value of the ingredients at Panera are vastly superior to most other comparable restaurants. This was a superficial and biased analysis at best and another reason America has one of the unhealthiest populations compared with other developed nations. It's from a mindset that seeks to justify behavior in spite of facts. I'm already missing facts, as they're becoming extinct in daily life.

Also, Panera uses much more natural ingredients in their food. Plus, they use no antibiotics, hormones, or nitrates in their meat, whereas McDonalds does. <br /><br />You get what you pay for. Panera may be more costly, but they use more natural and more high quality ingredients than McDonalds, which technically AVOIDS them altogether. On Mickey Dee's side, though, you get cheap-ass "food" inside of a restaurant that makes you feel guilty of even setting your two feet inside of said "restaurant".<br /><br />So yeah, suck my ass, McShitalds suck my ass, McDonald's.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6332855948249275552.post-27120969831292513582015-07-08T17:50:49.866-05:002015-07-08T17:50:49.866-05:00Your clearly dumb as fuck and spitefulYour clearly dumb as fuck and spitefulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6332855948249275552.post-70912880502010832912012-04-17T10:22:41.448-05:002012-04-17T10:22:41.448-05:00In all complete honesty, if you tried to make the ...In all complete honesty, if you tried to make the food you eat at Panera at home (a ham sandwich & can of soup) you're going to have just as many calories and just as much sodium if not more. However, if you were to make a chesseburger & fries at home and you baked the fries rather than cooking it won't be as bad as going to McDonald's. Anyone can compare two things and make one look better than the other - it's called being biased and there's a few extremely important things you forgot to touch base on in this article. First, all you've done is report the total fat - there are two kinds of fat good fat (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated) and bad fat (saturated and trans fat). Trans fat is the worst fat for you, this is what causes so many heart problems and you won't find an ounce of this in Panera's food, yet it's right on the label for the double cheeseburger. As far as the comment about the fries - they're fried and that's not good for you, but they're still potatoes so sure they won't be that bad, but like you said you put ketchup on your fries and when you look at the label that is ALL sugar and if you don't put ketchup on them you're likely to put more salt which just ups the sodium. Sure, Panera might not be as healthy as sitting down and eating plain spinach and carrots, but honestly who's going to do that?<br /><br />Panera - Pick 2: Smoked Turkey Sandwich, Classic Salad & Apple - 380 calories (only 60 calories from fat) 7g fat (only 1g saturated and no trans fat), 960 mg sodium, 7g fiber (this is extremely good because fiber helps remove the bad cholesterol from your body and help you maintain your weight). 45% Vitamin A 60% Vitamin C<br /><br />McDonald's - Double Cheeseburger, Small french fry - 670 calories (310 from fat), 34g fat (12 saturated, 1.5 trans fat), 1310mg sodium, 10% Vitamin A, 10% Vitamin C.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6332855948249275552.post-56216214407460359392011-02-26T17:07:33.597-06:002011-02-26T17:07:33.597-06:00the restaurant comparison is fantastic and informa...the restaurant comparison is fantastic and informative (fast food is fast food, you simply cannot keep mass quantities of food available at the drop of a hat w/o astronomical sodium and fat content); too bad you had to start out with the obnoxious homophobe comment. come on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6332855948249275552.post-18433364462667353322010-10-21T15:35:30.188-05:002010-10-21T15:35:30.188-05:00Indeed.

I noticed it when I tried to find healthier places to eat out while on a diet and trying to lower my sodium intake. Panera seemed like it would be a perfect place to eat when on a diet, but when I actually checked out the nutrition information I found my assumption was wrong.

I wish I could eat them every day!<br /><br />I used to get the "pick two" with half of that sandwich, and a half of a classic cafe salad (which comes with their lowfat balsamic vinaigrette, which is really yummy, IMO). But the location I go to was consistently giving me shitty lettuce on my salad, and I wound up picking it down to being a couple of bites by the time I'd gotten all the bad lettuce out of there. So I tried their lowfat garden veggie soup instead one time, and really liked that combo all together.<br /><br />It has 490 cals, 17 grams of fat, 1470 mg of sodium, and 67 grams of carbs. The carbs are the only thing that keep me from eating it more often, to be honest. Well, and the sodium.<br /><br />People need to take advantage of those online nutrition calculators more often. It took me a while to figure out that combo, since I'm not much of a soup person really, but it's not all that bad, calorie or fat-wise, AND it's really filling! Oh, and the sandwich is freaking DELICIOUS. Better than a McD's hamburger, by far!Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13586875268181033533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6332855948249275552.post-13846601266577628562010-10-19T14:47:22.728-05:002010-10-19T14:47:22.728-05:00I don't know of anyplace you can eat out and c...I don't know of anyplace you can eat out and call it healthy. Subway limits calories, but the sodium is through the roof. I suppose Olive Garden's salad is nutritious and low-fat, but who's going to eat it without the breadsticks and the over-salted soup?Donna.
