Has anyone else noticed that their calorie information is a little...off? I am using their website to figure out the calories in a couple of different things as I am going there for lunch today. In building a salad I added lettuce, it added 100 calories! Since when is lettuce 100 calories?!?! It counted the spinach as 15 calories. I started to play around with different things....they counted american cheese as 10 calories. Anyone else notice this or find the numbers to be off? Or is it just me?

    Subway isn't as healthy as it seems but lettuce and spinach aren't worth that many calories. They also use reduced calorie cheese, a whole cheese square for them is like 45 calories, so the cheese doesn't sound as weird to me. Just eat your salad, it's the dressing that contains the calories.

    Yeah they're not the best, but they are right next to my job and I am craving a salad. Their cheese is disgusting I was just surprised at their calorie count. Glad to know I'm not the only one who's noticed lol.

    Use this instead:

    A salad with lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, onions, green peppers, cucumbers and olives is 50 calories–assuming your Subway does it "correctly" (most I've seen don't). That means 3 tomatoes, 3 pieces of onion, 3 peppers, 3 cucumbers and 3 olives. That's the way corporate wants them to do it, but most sandwich artists put more than that on everything. (Because they know the corporate rules are ridiculous. I used to work there and my boss was really strict about us following the corporate rules, so I seriously could only put 3 olives on a 6" at a time. I had some pissed customers).
