I’m excited to share a recent feature where I break down some of the smartest choices you can make at Panera Bread if you’re trying to stay healthy, lose weight, or simply avoid the nutritional landmines that often hide on restaurant menus.

While Panera is known for its fresh salads, warm soups, and cozy bowls, many items are still surprisingly high in sodium, calories, and unnecessary add-ons. In the article, I walk readers through exactly how to order strategically so you can enjoy your favorite meals while staying aligned with your wellness goals.

As I mention in the piece, there’s no single “belly-fat-burning food,” but when you prioritize protein, fiber, healthy fats, and balanced calories, you absolutely can support a faster metabolism — especially when combined with strength training and consistent habits.

The article also highlights six nutrition expert–approved orders, plus practical modifications to make each one lighter, more balanced, and more aligned with midlife health needs. From high-protein salads to macro-friendly bowls and even healthy breakfast swaps, these options are designed to help you stay satisfied without sabotaging your progress.

If you’re navigating weight loss, menopause, emotional eating patterns, or just want to feel your best while eating out, this guide is packed with simple, doable strategies you can use anywhere — not just at Panera.
