Subway has revised the calories in its 9-grain wehat bread downward by 30 calories

I realize not that many people probably care but as a constant traveler I often use subway to diet while away from home, because I can get it anywhere.

Anyway, I was browsing their website nutrition facts and noticed that the 9-grain wheat now says 180 calories per 6" sandwich, vs 210 before.

Since they base their sandwich nutrition values on the 9-grain bread, this has caused most of their sandwich calorie counts to go down by about 30 calories as well. I am not sure what else might have changed, or why. Maybe they had their food re-tested for calorie content, or changed the recipes (it seems to taste the same though).

Anyway, I was eating the italian bread before because I thought it was the lowest calorie option, but it looks like the 9-grain wheat is actually lower (not to mention more fiber and protein so slightly better nutrition?) so I have switched to 9-grain wheat. I have read before that Subway calorie counts are actually pretty accurate when independently tested (assuming the sandwich maker doesn't put too much of the ingredients on the sandwich you order), so I thought people might like to know.

Did the bread get smaller in size maybe? You know, making a profit and the bottom line.

Thanks for the heads up @lonestarwings - I am also a frequent Subway customer.

I think @L1zardQueen is right, I compared their nutrition PDF with an early version and it looks like the serving size for the 9-grain wheat bread went from 78 grams to 71 grams.
