well yesterday i thought i had myself a cheat with a subway melt with cheese and ranch dressing, but adding up the numbers it really isn't that bad.
subway melt is turkey, ham and bacon. that is on subway wheat bread (half wheat) and with cheddar cheese and ranch dressing
it totals 560 cals 30g fat, 49g carb and 30g protein
i know it's probably a lot of saturated fat, refined carbs and salt. but that doesn't seem like the end of the world to me!
next time i go though i'll definitely be getting chicken and turkey with no sauce

Subway is ok every once in a while or for a cheat. Whenever I go there I get the oven roasted chicken breast with every veggie on wheat.

Ya,
I usually have a Turkey on Whole Wheat, with lettuce, tomate, onion, pickles and hot peppers, with a little bit of Honey Mustard.
It's like 300 cals for 6" or something.

The one complaint that most people have with subway is that they use some high-fructose corn syrup in their bread, and of course the flour is a bit more refined than it could be. I don't personally eat a lot of subway (simply because when I want a sub, I want Quiznos, and when I eat Quiznos, that is DEFINATELY a cheat), but I wouldn't worry too much about the occasional sub. Just go light on the dressing and cheese.
I'm not in this for the trophy; I'm in it for the hypertrophy.

subway sucks, you pay 5 bucks for few tiny strips of lunch meat (which should not count as meat at all) and a whole loaf of bread. 99% of the sandwich is bread which does nothing but make you fat.
oh and their 'tuna' is actually just pure mayonaise with a few tuna bits mixed into itits all genes

FYI - Subway does not offer a whole wheat bread option. Their wheat bread is still made from refined flour.Originally Posted by MikeyBl

their wrap isn't low carb anymore... it is a flour tortilla, probably worse than the bread.

I've heard it was just dyed white bread from someone who works there, but I don't know if that's true.Originally Posted by Struct09

It's OK once in a while . . .
I like the Subway sweet onion chicken teriyaki, but just 2 keep things in perspective, remember they never show their poster boy, Jared Fogle, w/ his shirt off (see pic), LOL.
