Subway $5 foot longs, anyone?

[manofmany]

Your an idiot if you only look at protein content, if that was the only deciding factor, I'd eat quad stackers all day.

Angus Burger (according to the dailyplate.com, since McDonalds doesn't list it on their site, always a bad sign). This is without bacon.
-590 calories
-297 from fat
-33g fat

compare that to any of the low-fat footlongs

Thats a bold statement. Some of us are ectos and don't have to have a strict diet at all. I eat whatever I want. If I stop eating everything in sight I lose weight very quickly.

What I like telling people is that they should know better. Seriously. They more than likely know mayonaisse isn't good for them, neither is cheese (in excess), neither is ketchup, mustard, etc.

Mayonaisse is soybean oil (not the best oil around, but it's okay) and eggs. Explain to me how this will ruin your health. Ketchup and mustard are fruits/spices with a little bit of sugar added. Explain to me how this will ruin your health. Cheese won't kill you either.

Fair enough, some people are lucky like that......bastards
If I eat everything in sight I'll be fatter than life

if you're so paranoid about ketchup get some low carb ketchup like 5 cal's n 1 carb.

or if your so paranoid about ketchup go get some help.

am i the only person who doesn't really count condiments in my daily calorie count? **** unless your chugging bottles of heinz, i think its negligible

[THE_TRUTH86]

i used to work @ subway before i started working out...
DOuble Cheese Steak 6 in with Swiss/Monterey Jack/BellPeppers/ONions Toasted!

[befamous7]

I guess I should get some kind of chicken sandwich since most people seem to like those.

And wtf is all this ketchup talk? Who puts ketchup on their sandwiches, seriously?

[Blindead]

Unless you're some sort of condiment fiend, pretty much. I used to go a bit light on dipping my chicken in bbq sauce. And then I sat down for a second and said "Do the 4 more calories really fking matter?"

I count Hidden Valley Ranch dressing,only because it's so dense.It's the only dressing I'll eat besides BBQ,and i like to put it on pretty much everything i eat on a bulk.

I don't get why people still eat mayo. Talk about useless calories and fat.

[garbury]

I guess my post is somewhat controversial. While I do think its garbage, I still do eat there when I get lazy or just really don't have time. It's just that I would compare it to eating out at other restaurants versus home cooked meals, which of course aren't always practical (but with good time management and a little creativity it can be done). There is no way the heavily processed subway bread (whatever kind), meat (mmm nitrates and sodium), cheese (though tasty), and other potential condiments belong as a lean diet staple. The sandwiches taste good, are cheap in comparison to other similar quantities of fast food, and may appear healtier but belong as a use sparingly food item.

As for my steak, sweet potato and veggies meal...

I shop sales and local stores like safeway and albertsons have sales on 93/7 ground beef, top round, and london broil for around $2 a pound. I buy bulk and freeze so an 8oz steak is $1. Sweet potatos are around $1-$1.50 regular price so a proper portion costs about $.60. Veggies can be had for about $1 for a solid serving depending on sales. using rice, oats, chicken breasts, and cheap veggies can bring meal costs down significantly. Only problem is it takes time, but when you invest time into your body you get more time out of it through increased efficiency of whole, natural foods.

Damn I wish I had steaks for $1 too. That really is a good deal from a store. To bad there is nothing like that around here.

[Eppo]

As i am cutting, i would never eat a foot long, too much bread. go with a 6inch turkey double meat, with lettuce tomato, black olive and red wine vinaigrette dressing.
mayo is just disgusting. big waste of calories.

I don't get why people still eat mayo. Talk about useless calories and fat.

If I have a tbsp of light mayonnaise with my tuna sandwich, that meal no longer tastes horrible, it tastes great for only 50 calories more. If I'm eating meals that I like, I'm less likely to cheat often (not saying the occasional planned cheat is bad).

[ThickAsABrick]

Subway is ****.

Find a real deli and go there instead.

[Nefariousx1]

subway is healthily marketed garbage. Treat it as you would a cheat meal because it isn't really that great. Buy yourself a sweet potato, broccoli and an 8 oz steak with the $5. I never understand why people think that $5 meals are cheap. Cook yourself and meals average $2 with a whole lot better nutrient profile.

I could not agree more...along with the ******* diet and trim spa is the only way I can see that herb jared losing the weight he did lol.

Where do you shop to get all that for $5.00?

[Nick1971]

Sometimes I get a 6" Meatball Marinara or Pizziola from Subway for lunch, since it's just down the road from my work, and I just factor that into what I eat for the day. I don't rigorously count calories since I am an ectomorph, but I make sure I don't pig out too much, or starve myself too much, and I have stopped eating at places like Taco Bell and McDonalds. I make most of my meals at this point, and generally I have a healthy diet. Not perfect, but eating at Subways a couple times a week won't throw my diet out of whack. It's about the only place I eat out at, anymore. I just can't stand most fast food now.

[bodydropcris]

im guessing its everywhere, but i saw a commericial for subway, they have all their footlongs for $5 for a limited time... thats where i'll be eating lunch everyday next week!!

[Amandarose531]

I feel like I just saw this same thread somewhere...oh yeah. It was here a few days ago, and in the Losing Fat section before that.

Because it tastes good

[DavidJr74]

I work at Subway; I got tired of the food quickly....

[bodydropcris]

the mayo i consume has vitamin K and omega 3... not useless.... and makes foods delicious!

[Djin]

Even the word, mayonaise is a nasty word.

The whole "food" in general is nasty. I'll get a lot of dry wraps, and the people making them look at me like I'm mad.

I usually get roasted red peppers to help the dryness of having no mayo/mustar. Personally hate mustard.

[bodydropcris]

different strokes for different folks!

LOL I'm the same way. I just think the name and the look of mayo is gross enough not to eat it. Mustards fine with me, or some oil and vinegar, depending on the wrap/sandwich. I work at a deli pretty much every summer, I can't even stand spreading mayo on stuff.

Looks like a big jar of pus to me

[bodydropcris]

have you ever seen a large quantity of pus? you'd def change that opinion!

[Red9]

Same here. I love how people will down 12 eggs a day but they are afraid of a little spoonful of mayo. Lulz.
