I love these sandwiches but they are so low in calories. I'm trying to bulk here so would it be suggested to eat these or eat something with more calories?

6 inches vary from 350-500 kal, how do you call that too low? That would be a perfect carb/protein meal.....

Depends on your body type... I'm an ecto so I eat like three double cheeseburgers while bulking and have never gone above 11-12%bf. Subway wouldn't even phase my metabolism so I don't waste my time there... depends on the person

If you look there, he is right there around the 300-500 calorie range. That is also before they put mayo or dressing. So if your getting a foot long you can probably expect 800+ calories.

Subway's a great way to get healthy calories. Even a 6" roasted chicken sub with cheese has 570 calories, 88 g carbs, and 34 g protein. Add some toppings and get a 12" and that's a lot of calories.

I eat subway 3-4 times a week. Sure the wheat bread prolly has some HFCS in it, but as long as the cals are right and you pile in the veggies it should be a solid meal. Avoid on a cut though.

I work at subway. trust me their ALOT of calories. In the count they provide its on white bread, no cheese, smallest big of meat, hardly any salad and no sauce, for a 6''. Get a footlong with a chicken on a better bread with cheese salad and source and youll be set.

It's hard to eat clean at fast food restaurants, doable but hard. You can bulk tho, but might be the wrong kind of bulk.
As for Subway, if you shoot for either turkey or chicken with some veggies on it, you're fine. The only loose end is the bread. I don't believe their wheat bread is whole grain.....also, keep the sauces offON/ABB Sponsored Athlete

Is the meatball sandwhich good for bulking? But still clean?
There is a subway on my college campus so I go there a lot and I always get a 12' Meatball marinara.

Pretty good for bulking. Good protein, but not the cleanest choice there. Still one of my favourites.Originally Posted by Alimoe202

Nutrition isn't all about calories, remember that, if you read the stickies you should be able to make your own desissions, atleast if you don't understand them, this forum is for people that have questions that are not mentioned in the stickies.

Subway's crap compared to Quizno's. Quizno's tastes a lot better and has a little more calories. I love the Cabo Chicken at Quizno's.

Quiznos is definatly better. If you can afford it I'd go for it, but it is pretty expensive to eat everyday. I'd rather save my money and make myself my own cold cut sandwich.Originally Posted by Teen_BBSubway's crap compared to Quizno's. Quizno's tastes a lot better and has a little more calories.
