Why is the 'Everything' bagel at Panera the lowest in calories?

Question

I thought 'everything' would make it heavily caloric.

Answer 1

because it is a savory flavor. it has all herbs and seeds on it. they are really low in calories. The sweeter ones like with fruit in them have to have added sugar to make the bread part a bit sweeter, plus the natural sugar in the fruit.

Answer 2

they are not fried

Answer 3

I work there! hehe. Yeah suprisingly the french baguettes have less calories than the whole grain. and dont let all that fancy food fool you it has just as much calories and fat as the nearest mcdonald's. I dont think it would add too much calories though its just a bunch of poppy seeds, dried garlic and sesame seeds

Answer 4

Actually the plain bagel would be.

"Everything" is just a plain bagel topped with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic and onion.

Sarah- French baguettes have less calories, but they are "empty" calories, meaning not very nutritious.  The whole grain baguette has more nutrition.

Also, there are plenty of nutritious things you can order at panera.
