    Yikes, thanks for the warning! You also have to be careful how many toppings they add sometimes. I know when I was calculating the nutrition for a burrito from Chipotle the other day, it used standard serving sizes for each addition to determine its caloric content, rather than how much they actually use :x I know when eating out it'll never be 100% perfect, but sometimes you're eating a whole lot more than you think just simply because employees graciously dish you out more than a standard "serving"!

    I think you need to re-read the original post...

    he was complaining about how they supposedly provide their nutritional information, not about how they made the sandwiches...

    either way, his original sentiment was wrong..and he never came back...

    So, I went into my local Subway for a change of my usual soup lunch. There are a few low calorie options, but the listed calories can be deceiving if you are not careful. The Turkey Breast & Ham 6" Sub. is listed on their calorie board (Posted listings are required in nyc) as 280 calories. When I asked which bread that was included in that calorie count, the counter man told me the 280 is only for the meat. It doesnt include any bread or condiments. The picture next to the calories is a full sandwich on bread with lettuce , cheese tomatoes etc. In reality if you have a sandwich on 9 grain bread with just tomato and mustard, it comes out to 500 calories! I usually just have a 160 calorie soup and a piece of fruit for lunch. I will go back to that, but be careful of calorie counts. Lesson learned

    Bro. You wear a suit, which means you probably know how to read.

    Read the calorie list and it details what the calorie count includes, which the bread is included.

    WTH man, also, your reality is incorrect. I hope you don't work in finance.

    Lol! Sorry this made me laugh. Too funny. XD

    I just make my own sandwiches using St Joseph's Whole Wheat Pita breads available in the Walmart Deli section. They only have 60 calories and you can load them up with your choice of healthy toppings. My favorites are LEAN ham, a SUPER thin slice of Monterey Jack cheese, boatloads of raw spinach and some Peach Mango salsa.... YUMMY!!!! Mine comes in at right around 200 calories...

    YUM! I will definitely be trying this out.

    the problem i have with subway isn't with the calories but the content. i have a soy & corn allergy and their meats and breads contain both. i am learning that corn is a filler and it's getting increasingly more difficult to find meats w/o it.

    That was uncalled for! Some people do watch their sodium intake as a part of their diet and informing others of the high salt content in Subway's food may help someone avoid it.

    I don't think it's uncalled for. He's got a valid point, because the title of the thread IS Subway Sandwich CALORIES after all.

    Also, making a generic statement like claiming Subway's foods are high in salt doesn't help anyone, because the amount of salt wasn't even listed, and "high" is relative.
