This 520-Calorie 'Slimmed Down' Panera Lunch Order Is Going Viral—and People Say They 'Love It'

While Panera is known for having healthier menu options than traditional fast food restaurants (bring on the soups and salads !), the chain's items also tend to be on the higher end calorie-wise.

Luckily, Sam of the viral TikTok account SmallerSam_PCOS has a game-changing hack for a slimmed-down Panera lunch order that you'll want to eat again and again. Sam, who has lost 200 pounds through exercise and a calorie deficit (plus additional weight with a semaglutide to treat her PCOS), swears by a very specific Panera sandwich order.

Here's the scoop: It's a whole Mediterranean sandwich on sourdough bread, no feta, no hummus, no mayo, with Black Forest ham added and a side of the Green Goddess dressing. The whole meal comes in at 520 calories and has 34 grams of protein.

If you use the Panera app, Sam warns that the app is not going to subtract calories when you take the hummus out, but you can subtract the 120 from your sandwich at the end.

One TikTok user wrote: "Looks so yummy!!"

And they're not alone.

“I will have to try this because all the sandwiches I see there have 1000 calories or more and that’s like what I consume all day,” one commenter wrote, while another added, "Love it! Sourdough is a great choice for your blood sugar.”

“Your page is my absolute favorite. Thank you for what you do, you beautiful fast-food angel!!!” Truer words have never been spoken.
