So is Subway good or bad for you ?

[JaiGoBlue]

I usually get a Oven Eoasted chicken breast on Wheat bread foot long. Is this healthy ? I looked at some site online and it says that particular sandwich contains 55gms of fat. That can't be right can it ?

[TitanFB11]

No subway is terrible for u eat nothing but tuna fish and carrot sticks U will have a six pack in no time man!!

[WonderPug]

You'll live and the fat content depends in part on what is added to the sandwich (oil, mayo, for example).

[Electricheadd]

Subway is fine as long as it fits your macros.

That said, I am cutting and subway sucks for keeping me full, not enough protein and too many carbs to manage satiety.

Subway is fine, eat up OP. Jared is living anecdotal evidence.

[joejccva71]

Subway is great. I love the Roasted Chicken Breast footlong with provolone cheese, and that sweet onion sauce. It's win.

[HunterCML]

Why wouldn't it be? Whats wrong with dietary fat anyway OP?

[PhiSig2298]

Go find a Chik-fil-a and eat there instead

[MrJoeyB]

Subway is good. Just don't go crazy with double meat and dressings you know you shouldnt be getting..

Why would that be bad if they can fit it into their macros/calories?

Huh?

Ahh damnit... Reading the re-ingredients there is Datem from Soybean Oil. So this bread is **** too

[Fizzaall]

Subway : 6 g of fat or less , so it's super healthy for you
A serving of their tuna has 20 g of fat and 13 g of protien . What kind of tuna is that anyway ?

Ok, so Trader Joes meats bad sodium, Subway meat fine, mayo usually bad unless from Subway, same with sauces. Got it, clear as mud.

When did I say TJ meat is bad? I said excess salt is bad. TJ meats dont have Sodium Nitrates, so they are much better than any other place.

Subway meat is less optimal, given a subwayshop next to trader joes store, I would go to trader joes.

This. IIFYM.

I totally agree. Not enough protein and too many carbs. Here's what I do, buy a Footlong and then take everything off one half and stack it on the other. Less Carbs + More Protein = Win.

If you get the steak and cheese's it's about 80g of protein in a sandwich I think.

[sweethunibabi]

I hate their bread, so I get all their sandwiches as a salad. More meat and cheese for me

Funny, I can't stand the smell of their bread, and I nearly gag when I walk in from that yeasty smell. But once I'm outside eating it its ok. Togos> Submarina> Subway

[jakefurfaro]

I usually get a 6inch over roasted chicken with double meat. A little ranch and a little buffalo suace. YUM!

I like the foot long subway club..double meat and cheese. No mayo - cant stand it. Extra mustard.

Ballin.

[PR1MO]

2 footlongs for lunch:

Roasted chicken
Steak & cheese

F*ck yeah

[nvs180]

Friday lunch is my Subway day, I get whatever I want and adjust my dinner and snack before bed to fit it into my macros. Normally Roast chick with extra chicken, all salads and southwest sauce.....yummy for my tummy

[MikeK46]

Subway can definitely be bad for you.

"Subway riders are being forced to wait on platforms that have plastic bags stuffed with foul-smelling dreck because the MTA regularly fails to meet its own garbage collection schedule, the Daily News has learned."

[JaiGoBlue]

Does the steak and cheese footlong really contain 80gm of Protein ? That seems like a lot.
