You'll Never Guess Which McDonald's Menu Items Are Healthier Than A Bacon Turkey Bravo From Panera Bread

Panera Bread is the darling of the fast-casual world right now, proving to be a very worthy lunchtime option and appearing to be a healthier alternative to played-out fast food chains, which are struggling to stay relevant in its wake. But how healthy is it, really? The names of Panera's sandwiches may contain words like "Napa," "Mediterranean," and "Sierra," but that doesn't necessarily ensure healthiness. For example, look at one of their top sellers, the Bacon Turkey Bravo. A whole Bacon Turkey Bravo on tomato basil bread contains 790 calories, 27 grams of fat, and 2,920 milligrams of sodium! For comparison's sake, here are a handful of menu items at McDonald's that you may be surprised to learn actually contain fewer calories and less sodium.
