Panera Cinnamon Roll: How Many Calories?

Panera Bread Company makes a decent cup of joe, but they hit it out of the ballpark when it comes to baking pastries. While we're asleep, Panera bakers are hard at work, making mornings especially diet-dangerous to loyal patrons.

Let's be honest, Panera bakes a cinnamon roll as big as your head.

If you occasionally order one, you should know the monster calorie count. How many calories in a Panera Bread Company cinnamon roll? From the poll, you're at least looking at 500 calories, a tad less than one-third of a day's intake for a slim, smaller, middle-aged woman with no time to jump on the treadmill.

Yes, it's bad. Panera's cinnamon roll has 620 calories, 89 grams of carbs and 24 grams of fat. Believe it or not, if you have to have a Panera pastry, swipe a 420-calorie bear claw instead. Then head to the gym after work to undo the damage. Better yet, split that pastry with a friend or really go healthy and bring along one of these sprouted-grain breakfasts from home.
