Panera's Hidden Menu

[lash44 313]

As a continuing struggle to maintain my post op weight, I just learned of this today, although some of you may already know about it. It seems Panera has a "secret" menu. You won't see it listed in the restaurant. You have to tell the staff you're ordering from the "Hidden Menu." There is a handful of very low carbs, high Protein options that look really good.

Just ask the sever about the hidden menu.

I was happy to go to Don Pablo's and getting grilled chicken off the children's menu with no problem.

Thanks to my last "diet" (Jenny Crarig), I learned that out of all the fast food chains, Panera seemed to be the "least" bad...(if you know what I mean). I would have a small black bean Soup, 1/2 classic salad and 1/2 cuban sandwich. Now after my sleeve, this is still my go-to meal since I know it was the "healthiest" choice on the menu. I have 1/2 of a small black bean soup and the equivalent of one big bite of the cuban sandwich and no salad (yet - still have trouble getting raw veggies down). I laugh, because even with the low-fat, carb meal, I used to still eat the chips or extra bread (forget the apple - what am I a horse??- LOL) I'll have to ask about the "secret" menu. Although it won't make much of a difference for me now, I'm still very restricted at 5 months today, but some day, some day.....

I've worked at panera for about a month and a half now and just the other day had my first person order off the hidden menu. I still haven't tried anything on there, i need to get to it because they look good lol.

What about nutrition info? I couldn't find it.

Wonder why it's hidden?

[jaymzee 79]

Its "hidden" just cause they wanted to test out how well the media network got information around.

Panera's has a Nutrition Calculator http://www.paneranutrition.com/

It's a good tool inform you what you are eating

I'm thrilled to know about this! Panera is usually my go to when I'm on the road and have to eat out somewhere. I'll totally be ordering some of these selections.

Panera's is a business, lets face it. They are out to make a profit, that's the nature of business.

Yet on the other hand if a business can reply to the a demand, that most eating establishments don't and

they can make money doing so. That's a plus for them. Most restaurants do not offer high Protein

low carbs meals. McDonald's is dropping its fruit & Walnut salad. It's up to a healthy eating public to request

more nutritious menus to make a difference. Panera's is a start.
