Choose the right Subway sub

Everyone remembers Jared, right? Or was his name Justin? Anyway, everyone remembers the once huge guy who claimed to have lost a ton of weight from substituting unhealthy his meals with Subway sandwiches. All of a sudden, the sandwich chain became known as “healthy fast food”.

I suppose formerly fat Subway guy’s success can be attained by all, but you can’t do it by rolling up into Subway and ordering a 12” Big Philly Cheesesteak. So here is your guide to choosing the right foods from Subway (I’m just giving numbers for 6” subs, so you obviously have to double these if you get a footlong).

Definitely Stay Away From:

	Calories	Sat. Fat (g)	Total Fat (g)	Sodium (mg)	Fiber (g)	Protein (g)
Subway Feast	550	9	23	2610	6	39
Big Philly Cheesesteak	520	9	18	1370	6	39
Spicy Italian	520	11	28	1720	5	22
Meatball Marinara	580	9	23	1420	9	24
Tuna	530	6	30	830	5	21
Cold Cut Combo	410	6	16	1340	5	21
Italian BMT	450	8	20	1500	5	22
Subway Melt	370	5	11	1210	5	23
Chicken & Bacon Ranch	570	10	28	1080	5	35

So now that you know what sandwiches to stay away from, here’s how to choose a Jared-approved one.

• Choose a sandwich or salad from the under “6 Grams of Fat or Less” menu.
• Order your sandwich on 9-grain wheat bread or hearty Italian bread – these have fewer calories and lower fat.
• Choose vegetables as sandwich or salad toppings instead of high-fat meats and condiments. Also, American and Provolone are the best cheese choices.
• Instead of regular potato chips, choose Baked Lays, apple slices, low-fat yogurt or raisins.

Some good sandwich choices include:

• Veggie DeLite (290 cal)
• Oven-Roasted Chicken (380 cal)
• Turkey Breast (340 cal)
• Roast Beef (380 cal)
