is subway as nutritional as say a sub from the local grocery store?

 

[mikeford]

The bad for you is mostly in the goop, no goop = all good, pile on the sauce and cheese and it goes down hill. Turkey, tofu, veggies, good, others not so good. All bread about the same, maybe some difference in fiber and fat.

Jared's deal was to eat ONE 6" fairly healthy selected sandwich. I eat a footlong tuna or veggie patty and split a meatball with my son (ie 3x 6"), so I doubt I will be featured in a commercial anytime soon.

Thank You!

Thanks for the heads up, Subway for dinner tomorrow night.

This is pretty much true. Getting the plain white or whole wheat bread instead of one of the specialty breads can cut a couple hundred calories off of a footlong. Otherwise, how fattening the sandwich is depends almost entirely on the choice of meat, cheese and sauce.

I get the oven roasted chicken on whole wheat loaded with veggies (but NO olives), and the only sauce I get is brown mustard. The only fatty thing I get on it is pepper jack cheese, and the sandwich is still delicious and very filling without being fattening.

Not really. The regular 12" white bread is 400 calories. The highest-calorie alternatives are Italian Herb & Cheese (500) or Honey Oat (520), so that's only a max savings of 120 calories on a 12". If you really care that much about calories, you probably should be eating a 6" sub instead.

subway's wheat bread is not whole wheat.

Two stores near me said that they do it in the AM.

One from 8-9 AM

and the other from 7-9AM

Who gets a sub a 7AM in the morning???

 

[AMD K9]

Went to my Subway just for the free sub and was told they didn't even know what I was talking about. To add insult to injury all the points on my Subway card are gone for good as they discontinued the points program in February and I was about ready for a free footlong...

No dice here. Must have been in extremely limited markets.

If you value your health never eat at Subway.






If you have nothing positive to say about the deal, stay out of the thread.

What about COURTESY?

No thread crapping. If the subject matter of a deal does not interest you, do not post negative comments about it, or about other members, in the thread.

Usually get the tuna, meatball or oven roasted chicken, not a big fan of cold cuts.

Good thing I didn't let the girl keep my card. I took it that all Subways discontinued the program but I checked online today and I have 76 points still on my card, so apparently just that one particular location is no longer participating in the points program which seems like BS and also didn't participate in the Customer Appreciation Day either.

McD's, Taco Hell, health disaster.

Subway, Del Taco, Wendy's, plenty of healthy options.

Carls Jr I put someplace in the middle, no doubt the Memphis BBQ pork burger isn't healthy, but who wants to live forever?
