Panera Nutrition Facts by Size, Calories, Protein and More


Ever stood in line at Panera, stared at the menu, and wondered, “Is this actually a light lunch?” You are not alone. A cup of Broccoli Cheddar soup feels like a small, cozy choice, and it has 280 calories. Put the same soup in a bread bowl, and it jumps to 930. Same soup. A very different meal.

That is the problem with guessing. Panera’s menu is full of items that look alike but are not. Half or whole. Cup or bowl. With nuts or without. Plain coffee or a caramel latte. Each choice can add hundreds of calories, a lot of salt, and more sugar than you would expect. This page takes the guesswork out. 

Panera Menu Nutritional Information

Here you will find Panera menu nutritional information for every menu group, laid out in simple tables with calories, protein, carbs and fat. The Panera nutrition chart below covers soups, sandwiches, salads, breakfast, bagels, bakery, drinks, kids’ items and catering.

Whether you are counting calories, watching salt, or just curious about Panera nutrition, you will also see the numbers most people miss.  One whole sandwich has 4,110 mg of sodium. A bread bowl adds 510 to 600 calories to any soup. Now you can order with your eyes open.

Panera Nutrition Guide at a Glance


If you want a fast answer for Panera nutrition, start here. These are the lowest and highest items in each group, taken from the tables below.

How to Read Panera’s Nutrition Numbers?

You can understand the information on this page without having any formal training in nutrition. Here is what each column means.

  • Calories tell you how much energy the food gives you.
  • Protein helps you feel full.
  • Carbs are the starches and sugars in the food.
  • Fat is the richest source of calories per gram.
  • Sodium is salt, shown in milligrams (mg).

Many food labels use 2,000 calories a day as a general guide, but your own needs can be higher or lower.

Size and container change the numbers

Panera sells the same food in different sizes. Here is how much the container matters for soup.

Broccoli Cheddar280420930+510
Creamy Tomato240340880+540

Homestyle Chicken Noodle120180770+590
Mexican Street Corn Chowder220340870+530
Vegetarian Black Bean90140740+600

Moving from a bowl to a bread bowl adds 510 to 600 calories to every soup. The Sourdough Soup Bowl alone is 650 calories and 1,340 mg of sodium. It has the most impact of any choice you make on a soup order.

Nuts, dressings and add-ons change the numbers

Many salads come in a “with nuts” and a “no nuts” version. Skipping the nuts saves about 90 to 110 calories on a whole salad. Fuji Apple Chicken, whole, is 710 calories with pecans and 600 without. Asian Sesame Chicken, whole, is 530 with almonds and 440 without.

Dressings are listed on their own lines in the guide, so check them before you add one. The dressings section below shows how big the gaps can be.

Your cafe may make things a little differently

Treat these numbers as a close guide, not a promise. Real portions can shift a little from one cafe to another.

Panera Bread Soups Nutritional Value

This is the Panera soup nutrition table. A cup is about 1 cup. A bowl is about 1½ cups. A bread bowl is the soup served in a sourdough bread bowl. If you are looking for Panera Bread cheddar broccoli soup nutrition, the numbers are in the first three rows.

If you want a soup with more protein, Homestyle Chicken Noodle has 10g in a cup for only 120 calories. Vegetarian Black Bean has the most fiber, with 12g in a cup.

Panera Mac and Cheese Nutrition

You often search for Panera Mac and Cheese nutrition, and the numbers can surprise you.

A cup of Mac & Cheese has 490 calories, which is more than a cup of any soup. The bowl is double the cup. Bacon adds only about 40 to 70 calories, so the cheese sauce is the main source.

Panera Sandwich Nutrition

Most Panera Bread sandwiches come as a half or a whole. A whole sandwich is about double the half. These are the figures for the sandwich only, not the side.

Panera Salad Nutrition

Panera Salads are not always light. A whole Greek Salad has 630 calories and 59g of fat. A half Strawberry Poppyseed Salad has 140 calories. A half is half of a whole. Items marked “no nuts” or “without pecans” leave off the nuts, which lowers calories and fat.

Panera Bread drinks are where sugar hides. A 30 fl oz Agave Lemonade has 320 calories and 72g of sugar. The guide lists total sugars, which include natural sugar, but a lemonade’s sugar is likely mostly added. U.S. dietary guidelines suggest keeping added sugars below 10% of daily calories, which is about 50g on a 2,000-calorie plan.

Drive-thru cups use less liquid

The guide lists drive-thru drinks “with ice” as their own items. They show lower numbers, likely because ice takes up room in the cup. A 20 fl oz Coke has 240 calories. A 20 fl oz Drive Thru Coke with ice has 150. An Agave Lemonade drops from 210 to 130, and a Sweet Iced Tea from 170 to 130. Pick the line that matches how you order.

The kids’ whole sandwiches have 2,250 to 2,540 mg of sodium. Children need less sodium than adults, so these are worth a look if you are ordering for a young child.

Panera Sodium: The Numbers That Add Up Fast

Calories get the attention, but sodium is where many Panera meals run high. These are some of the highest single items in the guide.

ItemSodium (mg)
Toasted Italiano on Baguette (Whole)4,110
Market Bowl, Sesame Ginger Chicken (Whole)3,200
Market Bowl, Carnitas Elote (Whole)2,650
Bacon Mac & Cheese (Bread Bowl)2,650
Greek Salad with Chicken (Whole)2,630
Caesar with Chicken Salad (Whole)2,620
Chipotle Chicken Avo Melt (Whole)2,550
Bistro French Onion (Bread Bowl)2,550
Grilled Cheese on Classic White Loaf (Whole)2,540
Mac & Cheese (Bread Bowl)2,490
Chicken Bacon Rancher (Whole)2,440
Bacon Turkey Bravo (Whole)2,430

Compare those to lower-sodium picks. A whole Strawberry Poppyseed Salad has 260 mg. A cup of Vegetarian Black Bean soup has 750 mg. A Summer Fruit Cup has 15 mg.

How to Add Up Your Own Panera Order?

The guide lists each item and add-on on its own line. To work out a custom order, add the lines together.

  • Bagel and spread: Plain Bagel (280 calories) plus Plain Cream Cheese, 1.5 oz (140 calories) is 420 calories, 9g of protein, 60g of carbs and 15g of fat.
  • A lighter half-and-cup meal: Mediterranean Veggie, half (260), plus Vegetarian Black Bean soup, cup (90) is 350 calories, 14g of protein and 1,380 mg of sodium.
  • A heavier half-and-cup meal: Toasted Italiano, half (670), plus Bacon Mac & Cheese, cup (530) is 1,200 calories, 47g of protein and 3,370 mg of sodium.

The two meals are both “a half sandwich and a cup.” They are 850 calories apart.

Panera Catering Nutrition: Per Tray vs. Per Person

It’s important to mention Panera Bread catering while discussing Panera menu nutritional information. Catering tables list the whole tray, not one person’s share. A tray labeled “serves 10” can show more than 3,000 calories. That number is for all 10 people.

To get one person’s share, divide the tray by 10. The table below does it for you. 5 trays serve about half as many as 10 trays.

Frequently Asked Questions

They should be very close, because Panera uses one Nutrition Guide for all cafes. Your own order can still differ a little because of portion size, customization, and menu updates. Use the numbers as a reliable guide, not an exact count. 

The Toasted Italiano on a Baguette, whole, at 4,110 mg.

Egg Whites have 30 calories. Many drinks, such as black coffee, tea and water, have 0 to 5.

The Toasted Italiano on Baguette (whole) has 58g, and the Chicken Bacon Rancher (whole) and Ciabatta Cheesesteak (whole) each have 52g. For fewer calories, the Green Goddess Cobb Salad with Chicken (whole) has 40g of protein for 580 calories.

Final Thoughts

The best way to use Panera menu nutritional information is to check size first. A bowl, a bread bowl or a whole sandwich can change the total more than the food itself. Then look at sodium, then at what you add on, like dressing, cream cheese or syrup. If you remember one thing from this page, make it the soup-to-bread-bowl jump. It adds 510 to 600 calories every time.
