Subway sandwiches. Great?

[yadrutas]

I have a subway club sammich about 2-3x a week. Usually a foot long divided into two meals. It seems like a low calorie, high protein way to take in great nutrition. Got a good ratio of carbs in there. Plus you can add avocado in some locations for some good fat too. Seems almost like the perfect food from a perspective of watching those four major nutrients... Agree/disagree?

sorta agree. you would probably want to stay away from their saucy sandwiches and if it fits your macros, all the better.

In general i'd say if you are going to do the subway thing to get double meat. Those things have a lot of bread...
I always get the roasted chicken double meat, toasted with cheese and a bunch of veggies when i go...its like 90g carbs 90g protein for a footlong..and it has WAAAY less sodium than the club with all that deli meat.

I vote getting double meat too -- but it's really not that big of a deal....if you can afford it easily, get it if not no big deal. I LOVE subway and eat there very very often.

yeah dont get mayo. get the omega 3 bread and chicken breast and add all the veggies you can.

Just about every meat subway serves is highly processed and contains nitrates. The veggies on the other hand are great and taste good. If you want to eat something healthier than fast food then yes subway is a good way to go. If you have time to make your meals instead of buying a footlong for a whopping 5 bucks then I'd say prepare your own sub at your house for half the price and twice the nutrients.

The meat is fairly low quality. Actually probably 1g of sodium per 3-4 slices of meat as well. Can add up quickly if your getting double meat. I found when I was eating subway usually I came home 3-4lbs heavier. All water that came off pretty quickly. The body would adjust if your eating it every day.

Ditto. Sodium is high on subway and meat is processed.

But for an occasional sandwich lunch, I'll do a foot long double meat and eat half and save the other half.

Weird thing is the $5 footlong double meat is cheaper then a 6 inch double. Only thing I get there now is the oven roasted chicken breast which is not really a chicken breast but meat with stuff shaped into a filet.

Get only the wholewheat one, not the honey oat or any other. The whole wheat seems to be the lightest.

I stick with doublemeat, lettuce, tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, onions, and yellow mustard (no sauce and no mayo)

I'll increase very slowly. And zig zag up. Yesterday, Today for example, I'll have 2400 cal. Tomorrow, maybe 2000.

The fact that it's processed is actually a good point. I like eating fresh foods more and it has more benefits that way.

I dislike subway sandwichs for many reasons ranging from poor macros to salinity.
