ive been eating so much subway lately! i know not everyone is the biggest fan of subway (the smell that permeates every. single. subway store is kinda ridiculous!)

BUT i have a sandwich that i really like. turkey, pepper jack, spinach, onion, green peppers, jalapenos, tomatoes, cukes, and honey mustard on wheat. toasted

today i got a footlong at 11am and ate half of it then and the rest around 530.

as i was eating i was thinking about how nutritious it really is! (and thinking next time im going to get olive oil instead of the mustard.)

anyway, what do yall think? turkey is a super food, veggies are crucial, we neeed to eat dairy, and a healthy oil or two rounds out a great day on program! doesnt it sound super healthy (barring the whole i dont want to eat the same thing every day) to eat subway every day????

Well isn't that what Jared did? Three subway sandwhiches a day? Walked to and from there?

I eat subway two times a week for dinner because I go to school and don't have time get dinner those days- it's like 630 calories for what I get- but it's a huge meal.

I don't think it's terrible, but the bread doesn't fill me up at all for some reason!

Yup, I think Subway sandwiches (or any other subs with lots of veggies and very little cheese) are pretty healthy, assuming you don't have any medical reason to watch certain nutrients.

If you had to keep your sodium low, that meat would make it tough... if you were watching carbs, the bread may not help (although it's so flimsy/fluffy compared to normal sub rolls so it's not too bad)... and if you were trying to keep your saturated fat down, the cheese wouldn't be a good choice.

BUT for someone who has no medical issues to worry about and does well on a medium-to-high-carb diet (like me!), they're a nice option! I don't even know if there IS a subway in my city, I'm not a fan of their bread, and they don't have some of my favorite items (can't make a hummus and bacon sub with sprouts and pickles!) so I never really eat there, but I have a lot of respect for them.

Also, by some really quick math, it looks like your sandwich was under 800 calories altogether, which is totally reasonable for two meals.

Subway is great.


I get wheat with chicken breast, shredded cheese toasted. Then spinach, lettuce, onion, and vinegar. It's around 400 - 450. And I always just get a water. It doesn't always completely fill me up, but it's SUPER good!

I adore Subway--usually available, the right price, and I trust them on calories...LOL..plus I get to watch to make sure it's prepared the way I like..

The huge veggie salads are SIXTY calories..I LOVE THAT! OMG--and yes, the sandwiches are very good--I like the oven roasted chicken breast on wheat, all veggies, no cheese and vinegar(no oil) only and TOASTED...LOL

You know, the bread doesn't fill me up at ALL either!!! I don't think any bread offering there is whole grain....does anyone know for certain??

I've never had a Subway, and am put off because I heard that they can be really unhealthy because of the high levels of salt, don't quote me on that though!

I love the Subway Club Salad, I'm not a huge bread fan so I get a salad with my choice of veggies, 2 thin slices of turkey, 2 roast beef and 1 slice of ham. They probably have more sodium then prefered by some but the calories with fat free Sweet Onion dressing is on 230. The Subway Club Sandwich with ff Sweet Onion is 360 calories. I do have half a sandwich occasionaly, if I happen to go there with my husband, especially right now while they have the special, any foot long sub for $5.00, that is what I usually pay for a salad.

Some of the sandwiches can be pretty unhealthy, but if you're not downing meatball subs stuffed with cheese it's a whole heck of a lot better than most other fast-food options. I'm partial to the turkey on wheat with lettuce, olives, and honey-mustard--yummy!

BTW: Jared only ate two sandwiches a day--a six-inch for lunch and a twelve-inch for dinner--and he bought them from the Subway a few feet away from where I wait for the bus to go home every day

I love Subway! We have it for dinner at least once a week. They have a 9 grain wheat bread that's fairly new.

I like the Turkey, with cucumbers, black olives and sweet onion sauce..........didn't know they had spinach I'll have to add that next time!

I like subway however their 6 in sandwiches fill me up right away and then I'm hungry again no more than an hour later. A moderate to low carb diet seems to keep me fuller longer though, when I have a bunch of carbs (like their sub roll) it makes me hungry!

I love subway and have also thought bought about it. I love the roast beef on whole wheat.

I love the turkey 6 inch sub I just had one last night
