Last week I went to the mall in Boone and decided to have lunch at Panera Bread. I really like Panera Bread! I ordered the combo: vegetarian vegetable soup with pesto and half of a Mediterranean veggie sandwich with unsweetened ice tea to drink. Feeling very virtuous, I went home and looked up the nutrition stats on my lunch. Calorie wise I did okay- 110 calories for 10 ounces of soup and 305 calories for the sandwich. When I looked across the row of stats to the sodium count my jaw dropped. 830 mg for the soup and 725 mg for the half sandwich- which comes to 1555 mg consumed in 15 minutes. You should have 2400 mg per day tops!! And it's better to stay under 1000 mg if you can.
Did I mention I also had the pumpkin latte and half a chocolate muffin top? I didn't think so.
