Low-carb items at Panera Bread
1 single serving in Panera Bread’s nutrition information has 10 g of total carbohydrate or less and at least 15 g of protein, and 6 more have 11 to 20 g. The most protein among the lowest-carbohydrate group is in the Five Cheese & Bacon Frittata: 17 g of protein, 9 g of carbohydrate and 300 calories.
Chains publish total carbohydrate, not net carbs, so these tables use total carbohydrate as published. Buns, tortillas, breading, rice and sweet sauces carry most of the carbohydrate on these menus; the section column below skips items under 50 calories so that sauces and plain toppings do not fill it.
