Panera Hidden Menu is Protein WOW

I have been dreaming of the day I can have the egg white bowl! I see my dr on Tuesday, and hope my NUT releases me to soft foods!

I start working at panera next week. Am very impressed at there nutritional information.

Can you get us discounts?

I haven't looked up carbs' date=' but they would have to be pretty low. There is no bread, no rice, no Pasta, no crackers, no salad dressing. I'm around three and a half months out so am eating regular food. 15 grams of Protein in a single meal for me hits right where I need to be based on my surgeon and nutritionist's recommendation for my daily Protein intake of 45-50 grams. Neither want me eating much more than 50 grams of protein a day since that would be excessive for my height and weight goal and harder on my liver to process. I'm amazed at the extremely high levels of protein other members are asked to take in daily.[/quote']

Yeah, my NUT recommends 80 grams. I shoot for 25 grams a meal, 6 meals a day. My running and lifting needs it. liver enzymes have been super healthy since first measuring after surgery and again 2 weeks ago (7 months).

Do all Panera's have this Protein filled hidden menu?

They do now according to the New Year announcement. I hope other chains decide to follow this trend and ditch the burgers and fried stuff. Except red robin and Blazin Onion ( local in WA). They have a special place in my heart.

Lol. No discounts unless you work there.

I LOVE Panera! This is exciting since eating out post sleeve can sometimes be a challenge!

I also order their low fat chicken noodle Soup, which is on the menu year round. Though it is high in sodium, it is very low in calories, tastes wonderful and is filling. I usually only eat a cup and half of the bread.
