Panera Panini<\/p><\/div>\n

One of my son\u2019s favorite places to eat \u201cfast food\u201d is from Panera Bread<\/a>.\u00a0 Specifically, he likes the one on Highway-10 in Little Rock, Arkansas.\u00a0 I wanted something light and decided to stop by the other day for a quick bite.<\/p>\n

Although I enjoy eating heavy foods, my waistline can\u2019t hack it, which relegates me to eating light and healthy foods 90% of the time.\u00a0 Panera specializes in sandwiches (and paninis,) so I order the Tomato Mozzarella Panini<\/strong>.\u00a0 I make fresh mozzarella sandwiches at home, complete with tomato, basil, and a vinaigrette, and\u00a0am looking for a similar experience while at Panera.<\/p>\n

My food takes about 10 minutes to make and arrives steaming hot.\u00a0 The sandwich is large, a little on the thin side, but smells very good.\u00a0 The first bite is greasy, with a huge amount of cheese.\u00a0 The sandwich looks thin, but it is as heavy as a lead balloon on my stomach.\u00a0 The cheese should not be melted as much as it is (for this kind of sandwich,) and the amount of oil used is beyond reasonable.\u00a0 I eat about a 1\/4 of the sandwich and throw the rest of it away.<\/p>\n

Needless to say, I am a little disappointed.\u00a0 I know Panera is a chain, but I thought a Tomato Mozzarella Panini would be good and light at the same time.\u00a0 I make them all the time at home and they are much lighter in calories, fat, and flavor.\u00a0 I know a lot of people like Panera, and I do too usually.\u00a0 Just avoid the Tomato Mozzarella Panini.<\/p>\n

On further inspection, I found the nutritional information<\/a> for the panini: 770 calories, 29 grams of total fat, and 10 grams of saturated fat!\u00a0 Wow\u2026that is an amazing amount of fat and calories for such a sandwich.\u00a0 A Big Mac from McDonald\u2019s has 704 calories and 43.7 grams of fat.\u00a0 This panini has more calories than a Big Mac\u2026..I don\u2019t know what to say other than to avoid it.
