tuna + lots of mayo + salt and pepper + boiled egg = profit
oh sorry, i should've added that i wanted to keep it somewhat heathy too..
Explain to me how tuna, mayo, and egg is unhealthy.
jalapenos, salt, pepper and mayo.
mix it with lots and lots of mayo.. then you can expect the subway standard.
I was never a big fan of tuna, just eat something else for your proteins!
[QUOTE=Cinekydo;629940033]Explain to me how tuna, mayo, and egg is unhealthy.[/QUOTE]Tuna = mercury
Mayo = fat
Egg = cholesterol
Nah just playin'. But I would still contend that Subway tuna is not good. I worked at Subway for a summer. That stuff gets left out for long periods of time, the workers don't wash their hands, haha. But a homemade version has potential.
"Legit tuna like subway" might be the funniest thing I've ever read on these forums. I suppose if you wanted your tuna to taste like subway you should mix equal parts mayo and tuna. Actually...maybe go 60/40 mayo. And then leave it on the countertop overnight. You'll be set.
Subway Tuna sub is supposed to be one of the worst things around...

The Meatball Sub from Subway is a close second.

Nah I'm thinking here at Subway, they say it's one of the worst you can choose (with the meatball/pizza)... ("they" being nutrionists in the media)
Based on nutrition info, looks like they use 2oz tuna and 4-5tbsp Mayo

tastes pretty good, but 1k cals for a footlong is a bit much
I use to work there. All it is, is 3 large cans of tuna and 1 litre of mayonnaise. Hand mixed together.

I think that is about 60/40 mayo/tuna!
used to work subway like 8 years ago. used to just rip open the tuna packet and mixed it together with lots and lots of mayo until it turned white-ish.

they'd make a killing on the markup

yea man. that's why restaurants serve very small portions of protein/veggies & more carbs/fats. (cheaper).
i'd like a mayonaise sandwich w/ a tablespoon of tuna, por favor. :D
I use tuna, avocado, and ajvar (an eggplant based sauce) in a 3:1:1 ratio with some lemon juice added. Comes out very nice and creamy and goes amazingly spread on some WW bread.

Oh, I know.
I remeber coming out of an Italian restaurant and a friend saying they couldnt believe how much food they got for the price. I was like "that's because they served you 1/2lb of pasta which cost them about 50cents!"
same w/ chinese takeout and the rice
Stay away from Subway guys, it's no good. The bread is loaded with HFCS.
[quote=article]When it comes to fast food, Subway is supposed to be the healthy choice – we all feel a little bit angelic when we skip high-fat burgers and fries in favor of a six-inch sub loaded with veggies and lean meats. And while the sandwiches are a better bet when it comes to calories and fat, Subway has a hidden dark side: The "healthy" 9-grain bread is a nutritional wasteland packed with high-fructose corn syrup.
David Zinczenko, author of the "Eat This, Not That" series, exposes the truth in his series The Truth About Your Food. While the bread does technically have nine grains, he says that you might as well choose white. Eight of those nine grains are basically trace amounts, listed at the bottom of the ingredient list under "contains 2% or less." The number one ingredient is regular white flour.
"Essentially this is a white-wheat hybrid with trace amounts of other whole grains like oats, barley, and rye," says Zinczenko.

As for that high-fructose corn syrup, well, there's more of it than any of the grains. With the requisite soda on the side, you're talking about a major corn-syrup overload.
But what about the brown color of the bread? It's not from grains: Zinczenko reveals that it actually comes courtesy of a compound called ammonium sulfate. If the name sounds familiar, it's because it's a commonly used plant fertilizer. It helps the bread achieve that golden hue by nourishing the yeast. Whether it's good for the human body is up for debate.
So what's a sandwich lover to do? Zinczenko says there isn't a better bread choice at the chain, so consumers should consider an alternative that's worked for generations: Make your sandwiches at home.[/quote]
I have a Subway right next door to where I eat, used to eat it all the time, I would go for the Tuna PACKED with salad, but it never kept me full for long.
Now I go to a baguette shop up the street (not a chain), have TRUE wholegrain bread, with egg mayo or chicken breast or something and have it teeming with peppers, lettuce, red onion, sweetcorn and tomatos and I'm full from 1pm right till 6pm.
Believe me, Subway is no good.

I got a little kick out of that too. And now I can't get that stupid MC Hammer song out of my head. :rolleyes:

This is incorrect, you don't leave it just overnight, you have to let it sit out on he counter uncovered all day and have some random teenagers stick their hands in it to get the full flavor.
I guess i'm just going to have to abandon my love for subway tuna

Tuna-okay
EGG- okay
"Lots of Mayo"- Mayo= fat so not okay
Try this I guarantee you will love it
1 Can of tuna dont drain all the water out leave it alittle wet.
1Tablespoon of Mayo
about a teaspoon of relish
about a quarter cut up red onion(cut really fine)
cut up celery (cut really fine)
a squeeze of lemon
2 pieces of oatmeal pepperidge farm light style bread(45 calories each slice)
I eat this 4 days a week minimum
OP if you're trying to keep it low calorie but you want the creaminess, use low fat mayo or part low fat sour cream.
