Restaurant Favorites: Panera Pick 2

Panera Bread is a good restaurant choice when you're watching calories. They have several soups that contain approximately 110 calories per one cup serving. The half salads range from 80 to 260 calories, and half sandwiches from 220 to 480 calories. I like the Pick 2 option, where I can combine any two of those three.

Today I had the soup and sandwich combination. I love the garden vegetable with pesto soup. That little bit of pesto adds a lot of flavor. I had my 1/2 sandwich made with mustard only. I also didn't have the side item that came with the dish. I'd already had an apple in the morning, and I didn't need chips or more bread.

According to the information on Panera's site, my meal was approximately 330 very delicious calories. Because it was so reasonable, I went to Starbucks after lunch and treated myself to a caramel macchiato made with skim milk and sugar free flavorings. A little bit of planning helped me keep well within my calorie goal for the day.
