Be Careful at Subway

evilbanks

Is it possible that the one listed on here had modifications done to it? Usually what's listed at Subway is just the sandwich itself with no added anything (except maybe veggies).

Exactly..............

I am not Nonna lie, I love the taste of Subway. However this myth of them being some super healthy alternative has got to end. They are sneaky and while some sandwiches get the calories lower they still have a ton of other body poisons in them.

All of the nutrition information is clearly provided or is available with a quick search. Sneaky? I don't think so.

I went there this morning after doing my walk. I got one of there 6 inch black forest ham, egg white and chese flatbread sandwich. The sign on the glass case said it was only 170 calories. I logged in on here and it said that the sandwich had 370 caloies. I emailed Subway and told them what I thought. I hope they listen.

How could ham, egg, cheese and bread possibly only have 170 calories? Sometimes you have to do a sense-check.

The egg white, ham and cheese on Mornin' flatbread is 180:

Egg White & Cheese (with ham)
180 calories
5g fat
12g protein
22g carbs

The Mornin' flatbread sandwiches are smaller than the 6".

Subway is so unhealthy anyway. Their breads and flatbreads are loaded with HFCS and the sodium count for all their stuff is through the roof. It's easier, healthier, and cheaper to just make your own!

Plus they taste horrible!

Not if you get extra jalapeños and extra "Hot Chilli Sauce" on it. Then you can't taste anything. :laugh:

:laugh:

If it was a user added item on this site, someone tailored it to what they got. Not what you got. Subway has all the info on the site, you can even build your own sandwich and it tells you all the info. I would double check things before writing angry emails...

I don’t go to Subway for health. I go there for a foot long hot pastrami and swiss on an Italian herb bread with onions and vinaigrette. MMmmmmmm.

I get the mini turkey with shredded cheese,all the veggies I want and one of the fat free dressings ( I like the honey mustard). Comes to only 270 calories,but over 1000 mgs of sodium.

I used to work for them. Their is an ingredient in their break which is made from formaldehyde. I do not eat there anymore now due to the fact when we would open new packs of any of the meats it smelled rancid. The meat always smelled terrible but tasted fine, and yes they actually do lie non the calorie counts. it would be better for you to make your own sandwich than go there!

They don't lie... people just assume if they order a foot long with extra cheese and mayo, the calories are the same as listed on the menu.

No calorie info is 100 percent correct. Even if you get out your scale and weigh your food. EVERYTHING is an approximation.

Amen, I just use what I find online and on labels as a guideline.

I agree with others that your best bet is to use their website's nutritional information to build your sandwich with the exact ingredients you want. If you look there you will see that a 6" flatbread ALONE with no toppings is 220 cals.

I never use the counts posted in the store/on their cups and napkins etc because they quote sandwiches made with only specific veggies and most they list include NO CHEESE.

So just take the time to look at what you want and decide/log it before you go in and you'll save yourself any more nasty surprises!

And stay away from their cookies....delicious but SO high in cals!

You can do the same thing on the Subway site. Just pick any salad/sandwich, then hit +nutrition facts and hit +Your build. Let's you customize any sandwich.

Maybe it's a regional thing... because I've never seen it before at any of the Subways here!

Some people live and die by Subway food, but in reality it's really not that healthy, at least that's how I feel. Very high sodium meats and in the bread as well.

I haven't eaten there in I don't know how long, I much prefer preparing food at home so I can be sure of what's in it. :flowerforyou:

I agree it's better to eat at home for the same reason you stated, but it's not always possible. I think that in comparison, Subway isn't as bad as say McDonalds, Taco Bell, (random fast food chain here).
The sodium can be a bit high but if I know I'm going to be out that day, I plan my other meals around that. I've also been told to try the flatbreads as opposed to the regular breads to make it even healthier.

Their flatbreads have more calories than their regular bread... just an FYI

True but.... I'd much rather have a sandwich from subway than a big Mac from McDonalds or a whopper from burger King.

ROFLMAO!!! I love this!
The calories listed on the front of the case are for The sandwich without cheese or dressings, those are extra....

Even here only some stores carry it.

This (below) is exactly what I was referring to it is all about the 'fine print' which unfortunately not everyone goes through the details to discover... sneaky? yeah I think so.
