Whats wrong with Subway?

That's it guys. I'm calling Jared, he'll put you all in your place :drinker:

Tell him to give us the number to his nutritionist, personal trainer, and support aides too!


...ask 'em if they'll help us all out pro-bono. ;D

i think he is busy getting more diet pills.

personally speaking i just don't like the way their food tastes. if i want a deli sandwich i'll buy some really great deli meat sliced in front of me at the deli counter and make it myself. i also don't like taco bell. went there once - ordered something with chicken in it bit into it got a big 'ole mouth full of fat blob with grizzle. almost threw up, threw the sandwich out never went back. BOTH PLACES ARE GROSS!

Subway smells like hobos.

Subway smells like hobos.

lol that is perfect. it really is the worst smelling of all the fast food places. its that horrible bread that is the culprit.

Our area hasn't always had a Subway. I remember the DAY that Subway opened up here. We were all so excited so we went right on down.

And my mother got food poisoning from her chicken sub.

*sigh*

I can explain this one too!
(but not justify it)

You see, on opening day, there are serious pressures to get everything done and prepared for a huge crowd.
Especially in fast food, because if you make 'em wait, you get reprimanded. So little things like "food sanitation" and "safe cooking temperatures" goes right out the window.

Like that free Doritos Taco thing at Taco Bell next Tuesday? Don't even bother, the beef might not be done, or the lettuce and cheese will be old, things like that.
And it's not anyone's REAL fault, it's just the corporation's idea to mass profits and promotional value, which causes the already stressed out workers to scramble like chickens with no heads because no one really consults them about it first, or hires temporary staff to get through the day.

Most don't even order the extra food necessary to get it all done.

their bread is HORRIBLE. why do they use such substandard bread? and their meats are school cafeteria quality.

there are so many decent sub/sandwich places around i dont understand why anyone would go to subway.

they do have fantastic marketing.

yup

Exactly...I don't eat there because the quality of the food is horrible. The smell eminating from the place even from the parking lot is enough to drive me away. This is just bad food. Processed, chemically preserved, mass produced, stored, and hauled to various locations to be shoveled out to the masses with the labels of "fresh" and "healthy".

Man it must be a helluva lot better living in a small town because I have never had any of those issues with the ones in my town. I dont think I have ever been able to smell a Subway before I actually went inside lol. If that were the case I would not eat there either.

are you saying that small town Subways use different ingredients? im sorry but that is just not true. its just that you are accustomed to eating bad sandwiches and are desensitized to it. if you ever get a chance grab a sub at a legit sub shop or deli and your eyes will be opened.

Not much different then what you would make at home. Same kind of meat and cheese most people buy in the grocery. Comes in the same packaging. And all the veggies are sliced daily. I worked at one in high school and the 6am person would slice the onions, cuckes, tomatoes, etc... in preparation for the day.

This is the type of thing I find extremely funny. People hating on subway because of carbs and such. Weight loss is very simple. It's all about CALORIES. I haven't tracked anything besides calories the entire time I have been losing weight and not once have I hit a plateau, had any issues losing weight or anything to that nature. Eat what you want, just stay within your calorie range for the day and you'll be fine.

Totally agree with you 100% I have done the same just track calories and exercise and have no problems seeing the weight come off!!!

I see more people saying they don't like it because they think it tastes like *kitten* than people that are saying the carbs are too high. Maybe my reading comprehension is off...

Any diet that recommends that your intake be 55/30/15 is retarded. Yes, that includes the US government's recommendations. You don't have to be an Atkins fanatic to realize that such a high carb ratio is terrible for you. If anything, carbs and protein should probably be about even at 35/35.

That said, I used to like Subway, until I started making my own food, and suddenly realized that their's tastes like ****. Eat fresh my *kitten*...pay close attention to their 'fresh' food next time you are there. Granted, every location will be different, but every one of them that I have been to has featured some...less than fresh looking ingredients.

That's not a horrible ratio. Mine is 50/25/25 which is perfect for me. Though occasionally, I will take in a little more fat and a little bit less in carbs.

just adding that i started looking like this picture because of my 60%carb/ 20%fat / 20% protien diet. if you know what you are doing almost no diet is "retarded" everything depends on your goals and having your diet and excercise program matching up, right now i am seriously carb loading and pushing the upper limits at 70%/15%/15% and not getting any fatter, so i guess i fall into the retard category :ohwell:

I hadn't noticed comments about Subway. If it fits into your food allotment for the day, enjoy. When I am traveling, I try to go to Subway rather than the other fast food places along the way.
