    I get a footlong veggie on wheat. With mayo and cheese, it's about 600 calories. I pile on spinach and green peppers and cucumbers and onions and tomatoes and pickles. I have to be careful with my sodium on a Subway day, but not so much my calories.

    Good luck!

    not trying to burst your bubble. It's just that Subway claims to be healthy but it's not quite so healthy

    Dont think of it as a cheat day, think of it as a reward day. Keep it up. I personally like turkey on the whole grain wheat bun with spicy mustard to give it flavor, and much better than mayo..(yuck). And have them load up the veggies. I usually will eat a 12" but I like to eat half first and then save the other have for as long as I can before I eat the second one. That could range from 10 minutes to a few hours....lol

    Hahaha :)! Cheat days sounds more fun ;)!

    spicy mustard is the only condiment I use. It's the healthiest condiment choice.

    I always get a Veggie Delight on Wheat, add avocado, with mustard, spinach, tomatoes, onions, cucumber, and a few other veggies depending on what I'm getting. AND you better believe I eat the whole 12" thing lol! I also like the subway club with the turkey, ham, and roast beef but I don't like all the sodium. Plus, I loooove avocado so I like using that in place of the meat :) Whatever you order enjoy it!

    I get the sweet onion teriyaki chicken sub on wheat with green bell peppers and purple onions. I get the sauce on the side so I can control how much I use. I'm not positive but I think it's about 350 calories. They have a list of calories posted in Subway.

    I have a meal already set up using MFP. Iti s for the 6 in turkey on wheat with lettuce tomato, spinnage, black olives, mozzarella and sweet onion sauce. Add unsweet tea or water and a bag of BBQ Baked Lays for 480 calories. Very good bang for your calorie buck!

    The turkey sub on whole wheat bread with cheese, bacon, veggies (YUM sweet peppers!) and vinegar is my favorite. It actually doesnt break the calorie bank and it is really satisfying. As for being small and being able to eat a whole footlong, I'm with you. I'm 5'2", but when I'm hungy I've been know to down a footlong (could be why I have a few extra pounds on me;). Make sure you ENJOY it, otherwise it is just not worth it.

    Tomorrow I plan on having a cheat meal. I will log it and try make it so I am not over by anymore than 200cals.
    I want a subway. Not just a 6" but a 12"! I know I know, how can a small 5`2 person eat a full 12"! But I can :), never tried though.

    What should I get?! I'm in the UK so choices maybe different to America.


    You can eat subway without going over your calories. Just choose the better options. Go for wheat bread instead of white, don't have cheese, don't use pepperoni, salami, or bacon. Try not to add cheese to your sandwich. Stay away from the oil. Use a light mayo. Use mustard! I always get a footlong ham & turkey on wheat no cheese, w/ veggies, vinegar, light mayonaise, mustard &m spices. Its very delicious. I only eat half, and save the other half for the next day. That sandwich = to 300cals.

    I like the BLT but without any dressings and just a small bit of light mayo and some pepper.

    I think their cheese is kind of tasteless, so I don't waste the calories on it!
