I ate one 2 nights ago and it was pretty good. Sweet onion chicken teriyaki is really the only sandwich i like from subway though.

What sucks is I lift 5 times a week too. I have a very muscular core, but there's a layer of fat around my hips that won't go away. Therefore I have a huge dimple under my ribcage that curves out. My upper torso looks like the letter B 😀
 
Run it off. I've burnt off many bad decisions at the dinner table by taking a nice jog. In fact without running I'd be 300lbs. I can not control my eating for piss. I'll eat a footlong with half a full size bag of chips easily. Might even have a huge bowl of low fat ice cream afterwards. Feel like total piss for being such a pig then I'll go run it off.

I typically eat the entire meatball sub from Subway in one sitting. It sits at about 1500 calories. The Chicken and Bacon ranch is about 1700.

I usually like to get a good idea of how many calories are in what I'm eating, and given that I've looked up Subway before, I knew your values were wrong. Although, according to Subway's website, your values aren't just wrong but extremely far off.

Meatball Marina 6": 480 calories
Chicken & Bacon Ranch Melt 6": 570 calories
Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki 6": 380 calories

Although, their Bacon Ranch sandwich seems to have changed a bit... I don't recall it being a "melt" before, and it probably had less calories prior to that.

EDIT:

I do realize that these are 6" subs, and obviously for a foot-long, the calorie content should be about double.

With my 40 year old metabolism, I would need to wear a size bigger pants the next day if I ate that much in one sitting.

I am about 20 lbs. UNDERWEIGHT, I can eat a whole footlong Subway Philly Beef & Cheese with everything easily.
 
I'll eat a footlong chicken breast when I get Subway no problem, though it's not often. Then I wonder why I can't lose any weight.

I've noticed that I can eat whatever I want, whenever I want and be unemployed and get no excercise and maintain ~20lbs overweight. Now I work all day at a job that keeps me going and on my feet all day, I try and watch what I eat, and I get out on my bike 3-4 times a week for 30-50 minutes a time, and I still stay stuck at 20lbs overweight. feelsbadman

No, he just posts like one.


OP, I can keep a Subway footlong with meat and cheese at ~700 calories (quite possibly less) just by choosing the right stuff to put on it:

Oven-roasted chicken
Wheat bread
Pepper jack cheese
All 3 peppers + pepper relish
Onions
Pickles
Spinach
Brown mustard

The key is not choosing fattening shit like olives and chipotle ranch. Even choosing plain wheat over the specialty breads will cut a couple hundred calories off the total.


So, what were you whining about, again?

Given chicken's caloric content, you almost can't go wrong with a (not breaded or fried) chicken sandwich. It also helps that most of the non-sauce toppings at Subway have a pretty negligible amount of calories in them. I think half a bag of my salad mix at home has about 30 calories in it. 😛

I guess I would agree with avoiding ranch dressings as they tend to have a lot of calories compared to other choices, but you could always ask for a smaller amount of ranch. I make a lot of chicken, and one thing I do is try and find bastes that are tasty yet don't have a lot of calories.

I found one called Frank's Sweet Heat BBQ, which is tasty and only has about 20 calories per tablespoon (I think that's correct). If you want less, just use something that's based on peppers. The only downside to this is if you're looking for a sweet sauce, because sweet = sugars and sugars = calories. 😛

However, I don't know if I agree with your comment about the breads. I think you'll find that some specialty breads have more calories than others, but I doubt that it's a significant difference. I think Subway has some sort of honey bread, which most likely has more calories (referencing the sweet = sugar = calories thing), but if you're talking Italian vs. White vs. Wheat... the caloric content should be close and pretty much a non-issue.

Hell, if you start worrying about calories in bread, you should just avoid Subway to begin with. Grain products (e.g. bread) tend to be loaded with calories. The bread that I buy (Sara Lee's Soft and Smooth) has 60 calories per slice. If you say a foot-long is about the equivalent of maybe 7 slices of bread (pure guesstimate)... that's 420 calories just in the bread alone.

I made spiedies a few weeks back, and was a bit shocked to see how many calories were in these relatively small sub rolls that I bought. I think it was about 220 calories per roll and they weren't much bigger than hot dog buns!

Now you can just eat more and not feel as bad! :biggrin:
 
I never understood this calorie counting thing either. Life is short, why put yourself through that? If you are hungry, eat, if you are not hungry, don't eat. Eat bad foods in moderation and eat good foods as much as you can, but don't force a diet on yourself. Enjoy life. I might be a little overweight at 160lbs but I'm not 600lbs either.
 
i guess the only good that came out of this ordeal is that it forced me to get on the treadmill today. i am typing while walking now. so far, burned 190 calories in 23 minutes. 1.5 miles at 4mph/avg lol.
