I'm heading out to grab some lunch...I looked at Subways website and nutritional info and it says a 12" turkey on wheat with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles is 570 calories. If I get this and eat 1/2 now and 1/2 later for a snack is that ok? I have 974 calories left on my day....it just sounds to good to be true. I haven't overcome the always being hungry...I know I will eventually but right now the little 100 calorie snacks are just not cutting it!! So I thought hey, 285 for lunch and a snack!!! and then I still have 404 for dinner....so is this too good to be true!!!

Subway is great for that, but if you watch your sodium I would get the oven roasted chicken instead, WAY less sodium. As long as you only eat half now and half later, no cheese or mayo you should be good!
Enjoy! :flowerforyou:

Fruit is a really good snack that can help fill you up with almost no calories. You may want to try that instead of 100 calorie snack. Plus tons of vitamins!

No, its not to good to be true -- reality is if you eat "right" lean proteins, veggies, whole grains etc...food will be your friend. A sandwich on whole wheat bread with lots of veggies (lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, peppers etc etc) is a great meal. The alternative is a ride through the McD's window where the equivalent weight in food is about 1000 calories. Eating can be fun you just have to make the right choices!
Good JOB!
Go and enjoy food again!
PS...one of my fav's at subway is a salad....lots of veggies with some meat on it and balsamic vinegar as dressing....it satisfies my "eat out" need and fills my belly without adding bad foods.

Subway is great! I usually get the footlong and use the 2nd half for another meal. If you have the calories for it, GO FOR IT! With all the veggies, and the whole grains, it's a great "good for you" fast food. I tip I heard on another board, if you're watching your sodium, is to ask them to scrape most of the bread out of the "shell," or the salads have a LOT less sodium because they don't have all the bread!:bigsmile:

Enjoy your lunch!

P.S. I like to have them put the red wine viniagrette on instead of mayo. It adds a few calories, but not many and it tastes GREAT!
