Green Goddess Cobb — Chicken
How to order: Green Goddess Cobb Salad with Chicken → dressing on the side
Choose an apple for your side. Fat is on the higher side from the avocado and bacon but the protein is excellent.

One of the better soup options at Panera. Warm, filling, and the fiber and protein combination keeps you satisfied longer than most soups would.
Chicken Noodle Soup (cup)

Low protein but very easy to eat. Good for days when your appetite is low or your stomach is sensitive.
You Pick Two: Green Goddess Cobb Half + Turkey Chili Cup
How to order: You Pick Two → Half Green Goddess Cobb with Chicken + Turkey Chili cup → dressing on the side
The You Pick Two combo is a great portion size.
Half Turkey Sandwich on Whole Grain + Cup of Soup

Order the half-sandwich as part of the You Pick Two combo.
Teriyaki Chicken and Broccoli Bowl

High protein and high fiber but also high carbs from the rice. Good choice when your appetite is closer to normal. Eat until full, focus on the chicken and broccoli before eating the rice.
Turkey Chili (Bowl)

14 grams of fiber in one serving is hard to find anywhere. Good on its own or paired with the half Green Goddess Cobb.
Asian Sesame Chicken Salad

The sesame ginger dressing is worth using in full here. It is lower calorie than most creamy dressings.
Tips
New to GLP-1?
In your first few months, a cup of chicken noodle soup and a half turkey sandwich or simple salad is the right call. Cream soups and bread bowls hit hard early on.
