Panera can work for keto mainly by turning breakfast sandwiches and protein sandwiches into no-bread bowls, plus choosing salads with grains, croutons, fruit, and sweet toppings removed. Bakery, bread bowls, mac & cheese, most soups, sweet drinks, smoothies, and value duets are generally too high-carb for a 12g net-carb meal cap. Safest orders are unsweetened drinks, no-bread egg/meat bowls, no-bread chicken/turkey/tuna sandwich bowls, and modified chicken salads.
