    well i think of it this way. I usually get a chicken teriaki which is my fav... i will but a foot long but eat that as 2 of my meals... so last time i calculated it and it was about 700... so i only will eat one half either as long and dinner or ill have one lunch one day and the next day for lunch... it calculates a lot better then a hamburger...

    AND I USED TO WORK THERE...
    and i know the disgusting crap they serve...
    think about it
    mcdonalds is ALWAYS busy...
    being under a 450 degree burner wouldnt u sweat?
    i know ive sweated on a couple of burgers just cause i couldnt control it...
    and they will leave a burger in a "bin" all day if they need to...
    and they dont wash their hands...

    they just DONT CARE!

    o and dont u feel sooo much better eating something like subway then u do after eating mcdonalds...
    i had mcdonalds yesterday and i swear i havd a laxative

    Like the other posters said you got a lot more to eat with a sub then with a Big Mac, not too mention who can eat a Big Mac without fries??!

    I usally eat the turkey or ham with no cheese and a little of the honey mustard. I used to get the lite mayo but then realized it really wasn't so lite. I don't usually like mustard but thought I'd try the honey mustard and I actually like it.

    Subway is as healthy as you want to make it. If you order a 6" veggie or turkey, no mayo, etc that is a much better choice than a 12" italian or meatball sub with mayo and ranch and all the other fat piled on.

    Biggest Loser using Subway because Subway gives you the tools to make healthy choices. It is up to you what you decided to put on your sandwich. If you want healthy, eat healthy. If you eat a fatty sandwich take responsibility for it and count your calories and move on.

    The one thing I've learned from my journey into a healthy life is that I am responsible for what I eat. It is up to me to educate myself about what I am going to eat. :happy:

    Great advice!! :wink:

    A subway sandwich with veggies on wheat has nutritional value other than calories like fiber and vitamins. A big mac doesn't. Besides the 12" turkey breast on wheat, no cheese or spread (I use vinegar only) is about 560 cal but is so much more food.

    Plus I always FEEL fatter after I eat at McDonalds...except the ice cream cone. Those are amazing, even if they aren't exactly good for you.:smile:

    I try to stay away from deli meats because of the sodium. Also, anything made with mayo like their tuna or seafood and crab (YUM)! But yes, in a pinch, I always go for Subway because you CAN get something lower cal there. I usually get the veggie delight salad with their red wine vinegarette. It's yummy and very filling for very low calories. Their salads are definitely the best out of any fast food restaurant. They are bigger, fresher, cost less, and you can customize them! I :heart: Subway salads! :laugh:

    :grumble: Okay, I totally retract my statement. I just got my salad from Subway and they raised the price to 5 bucks! :angry:

    surprisingly the ice cream is one of the best things on their menu. 1 cone is 150cal.. if you get the small kiddy cone its 45 cal.

    its the choice of meats you have on your sandwich, fatty meats make it a fatty sandwich.
