How to Order at Panera Bread on GLP-1s (46g Clean Protein)
Skip the heavy bread bowls and cream soups. Here are the best nutrient-dense, high-protein orders at Panera.
Panera Bread offers high-grade antibiotic-free poultry and fresh greens. However, their signature menu items (bread bowls, broccoli cheddar soup, mac & cheese) are calorie-dense and high in saturated fat. Choosing custom double-chicken salads and clear broths protects your metabolic rate without gastrointestinal distress.
Never choose a sourdough bread bowl—it holds 660 calories of pure starch before soup is even poured.
Order Double Chicken on salads to reach the 40g leucine protein floor.
Ask for dressings on the side and use a light fork-dip method rather than pouring.
