whats the best I can get at subway

[rodedog57]

I know I can research it but I figured someone on here would know since I got it on my mind.

It's very hard for me to get back on my diet (losing fat not trying to cut for a BB comp or anything)

Last time I dieted I went from nearly 300 to about 245 in about 4 months on a very very strict diet following every rule I could find on here.

But Ive been working 60-70 hour weeks no breaks ( I run a pizza place) and there is a subway two doors down from me that the owner lets me eat whatever for free. I figure I could atleast stabilize my poor eating habits I've had the last year or so by atleast eating there for a bit. Maybe 6: chicken breast loaded with lettuce/peppers/onions/pickles/salt&pepper/mustard. no mayo oil obviously but would the turkey be better or something else for variety. again I know whole foods is better but this could atleast be better then late night jack in the box. I'm too tired to sit down and cook after these long days.

[tranceaddict]

probably the hot chicks serving it to you?

Any of the turkey/ham/chicken breast sandwitches are all low fat. Dont get any of those fancy sandwitches and remember to eat in moderation of course.

The bread to topping ratio on a sub is pretty bad, especially considering all of those refined carbs you are getting from it (Yes, the wheat bread is the same, just a different color)

I'd opt for a 6 inch sub with as much meat as possible (like double or triple meat since the guy is hooking you up) - and whatever veggies you like for good measure. Stay away from the salad dressings/mayo too. I think the oil they use (if you request oil as a dressing) is probably a cheap soybean oil, not good EFAs.

Their salads at subway suck btw, I got one once and it was just the ****ty shredded iceburg lettuce they use on their sandwiches with some crap thrown in it.

If you're eating at Subway, you're better off gonig wraps over their subs. Double meat for sure with veggies. Stay away from dressings. You could even do without the cheese.

[rodedog57]

wow I completely forgot about the wraps. Thank you. I figured I'd find out something I wasn't thinking of (and the only semi good looking girl that worked there now works for me).

As long as I keep giving the owners kids their free vegi pizzas I get my hookup. So triple turkey/veggies on a wrap it is. hopefully I can get somewhat back on track and getting some type of decent meals will curb the late night binges I keep having.

Wrap + double/triple meat + load of veggies + olive oil = teh awesome.

Definately what the above poster said. Either that or a 6 inch on whole wheat, douoble/triple meat, no cheese, loads of veggies, and either olive oil or no dressing.

Is it ok to have Chicken Teriyaki with wheat bread?

[HerveDuchemin]

Do the salad.

[Eric75]

i usually go chicken bacon ranch wrap without the bacon or ranch, double meat, LOADED veggies. ALWAYS do spinach, not lettuce.

[YUL]

yea the wraps with dbl meat and no cheese/dressing are pretty good.

I load up on the tomato and green peppers too.

[qdogg290]

The Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki. I used to get the footlong, which has about 52 grams of protein and only 10 gram of fat, so a 6-inch would have 26 grams of protein and just a meager 5 grams of fat for those of you whom are mathematically challenged. It's funny how somebody mentioned the similarity between Italian and wheat bread, as I noticed when looking at the nurtritional information, theres really no profound difference from that standpoint. Perhaps a few grams of dietary fiber, although Honey Oat is the best in that respect. There's a lot of healthy things to eat at Subway and I suggest you check out their site. Contrary to what others have told you, not all of their dressings are bad, so I wouldn't resist it...a sandwich really needs it.

Our subway has little fliers about all the info on the subs from calories to fat, trans fat, etc so all you gotta do is look at it. I like the meatball with American cheese, lettuce, onion, green pepper, black olives, oil and vinegar and occasionally tomatoe...but this isn't the most healthy choice.

[DomzyCuttin]

I get a hookup at subway too, and im a pizza maker!! Coincidence? :S:S

Anyway, just ask the sandwhich maker to rip out the bread from the sub, I tell my buddy to do this, and just get chicken breast all the veggies, mustard, and hot sauce. I get the 12 inch, but im clean bulking.

5 grams of fat and 279 calories. Sounds like a healthy choice to me.

i've done that at publix but not subway... guess i could tell them to do it too, but not sure how stable their bread is lol

[CPizzle]

Try getting the over roasted chicken sub (or whatever) but with a wrap instead of bread

[qdogg290]

Subway has given society the perception that eveything they offer is a healthier alternative to any other fast food joint, but that is definately not always true. The Meatball is really bad, which has about 50 something grams of fat for a footlong (if I remember quickly). As is the Italian BMT, along with several other sandwiches.

[hysteria]

The only thing about subway is that most of their menu items are high in sodium. Any of their 6 inch subs or wraps have at least 1000mg of salt. That's pretty high.

You guys are all correct, but some credit should be given to Subway for their willingness to offer nutrition facts. Of course, this is part of their marketing strategy.

However, other companies like Quiznos don't offer nutritional information and there's little you can do to actually get that information. I've asked the manager (who's a friend of a friend) of the local Quiznos for the information, called the company, and went as far as writing a letter to see if there was any nutritional information available for their sandwiches. Yes, I did go a little too far, but long story short, they don't offer any of this information and really made no indication that they'd pursue such actions without gov't regulations forcing them to.

Didn't know that about the sodium intake, damn, HBP = limit your subway severely.


I go with 6" wheat, 2x Chicken Breast, Cucumber, Green Peppers and then Vinegar or a bit of BBQ sauce.

[Luke530]

Wheat bread is better, but I usually opt for the honey oat bread.
I think the honey oat it the best bread they offer... not the wheat.

2x chicken, or get double meat (1 chicken, 1 club)
so you get chicken, ham, turkey, and roast beef

[MisterBrian06]

i've noticed due to my high metabolism and being hard for me to gain mass (i eat 6-7 times a day ranging from 400-600 calories) so i said fug it and just go with 6 inch honey oat, double chicken breast, most of the veggies there and garlic sauce.... and baked lays to punch :P~

Quiznos is able to get away without posting their nutritional information, I thought it was required? McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy's, Taco Bell, etc. all make such information easily accessible and eating healthy is not necessarily part of their marketing plan.

There currently is no law requiring restaurants to post their nutrition information. For quite some time there was talk about pushing a law requiring restaurants that had more than 5 establishments to post their nutrition information, but I believe that law was passed down.

There's no single reason as to why a number of restaurants went the nutritional information route. I do, however, think that a great deal of what motivated them to do the studies had to do with the general attack on the nutritional value of fast food.
