Healthiest bread at subway
Replies

Just realized that the 'whole grain' subway bread is made with enriched wheat flour, so its basically just white bread!:sad: I LOVE subway once in a while, and was wondering what the healthiest bread choice is. LET ME KNOW PLEASE! :flowerforyou:
There is no healthiest bread at Subway. It is highly processed, garbage food like substance.
The only "real food" at Subway is the vegetables they put on those sandwiches.
Why not? Its not real food.
My suggestion is basically forgo the bread, period and stay out of Subway. it has to be among the grossest restaurants I have ever seen.
It is like food poisoning waiting to happen.
And speaking the truth isn't making a snide comment.
To the OP: Find a Jimmy John's and order yourself an Unwich and a pickle. That would be the healthiest option at a restaurant such as these.0 -
I go for Italian for low calories generally - turkey breast and ham because it's in the £3 deal. Though now owed 3 subs free as you got triple points in the first month after registering online and that worked on me .
But generally I'm happy with the fibre etc I get elsewhere and prefer the taste of white.
"Just a little" sweet onion sauce - local one is pretty good but some stores the staff seem to have the three-sweep squidge of sauce in their muscle memory which can't be over-ridden .There is no healthiest bread at Subway. It is highly processed, garbage food like substance.

Of course bread is 'highly processed'. That's rather the point of it; if it wasn't processed, it's just be some grain; and thus not nearly as good at containing the contents of my sammich .
I don't eat highly processed frankenfoods. I eat for health and nutrition. I eat to live, not live to eat.
Well, I live to eat. And I am proud of it!:laugh:0 -
there's no difference in the breads at subway except there being white and wheat dough.better off just getting a salad.0

I also don't like sound-byte science.
I certainly have never been convinced by anyone trying convince me the in regards to the benefits of 'paelo'.
I do, however, like the way people on here generally request scientific studies to back up 'the truth'.0 -
Found this on a website. http://www.eatingrules.com/2010/05/healthy-options-at-subway/

Well, you can have a sandwich once in a while. There is nothing with having a sandwich every couple of weeks. But, lets not get confused, there is not much of a difference between wheat or honey oat bread. In fact, the are made with the same dough but one is sprinkled with honey oat on top. They are both wheat bread and contain the same nutritional value white bread so feast as you wish.
For an actual healthy choice, go with the salad, no cheese, little-to-no dressing, bottle of water. No need for the chips, cookies, fruits, etc...0 -
Between the sodium-bomb deli meats and the hyper caloric dressings and condiments, I would think the choice of bread is the least of worries when eating at Subway.0
-
I love their flat bread and TONS of veggies with sweet onion sauce :P0
-
If you are choosing it over a burger you are doing a good anyway! If its your go to while out then you still doing well. If its an everyday staple there is room for improvement. Though the meat leaves something to be desired. It is pressed processed junk. Have a great day!0

Subway sammich and chips and pop and cookie is soopa healthful. Especially the bread. They accidentally put whole grains in that bread, I heard.0
-
Other than losing the whole "sandwich" factor, meaning easy to eat, why not just order your subs as a salad and eliminate that whole mess of calories and processed crap?
The problem is then, what dressing???
you dont have dressing on the sandwich?
weirdo!0 -
I agree with the "If you have it once in a while it's no big deal" stance. Just wanted to add this...
Unless it says "100% whole wheat" or "100% whole grain" then it's really nothing more than plain old white bread. A bread that is labeled as "whole wheat/grain" without the 100% in the description only has to have a little tiny bit of whole grains, the rest can be super processed white flour. I'm not gonna debate the value of whole grains vs other, just wanted to share that bc I think most people don't realize it.0 -
Subway smells like homeless people.
Maybe your local one does. The one at the end of my block is always clean and smells good, like their food. And the couple who run it are hard-working, friendly, and helpful.0 -

I just read the OP and none of the posts that followed...but subway bread is so bad! It contains a dough conditioner: azodicarbonamide...which is a petroleum by product. Just get a salad with avocado. Skip the sketchy bread.0
