My hubby wants subway for dinner tonight, we are both counting calories and I think I'm going to get a veggie sub on wheat with no cheese, but I'm hoping it's filling...

What are some combinations of sandwiches you all get at Subway that are healthy and not too bad on calories?

    black forest ham no cheese on 9 grain all my veggies and mustard, a little over 190, really good
  • I don't eat it because they use High Fructose Corn Syrup in their breads and then there is the sodium issue. Yucky.

    Drink lots of water to combat the sodium today! Veggie may not be as bad though.
  • I just realized I posted this in "recipes" oops!!

    Yeah I have drank a lot of water today already...thanks!

    WHAT???? there is high fructose corn syrup in their bread????? you know who else does, the frozen yogurt places. They say it's so healthy WRONG! I have to get the no sugar added variety, and even that isn't good for you it has ASPARTAME!!!!

    Wouldn't the bread itself bring you over 190?

    Just saying, cuz I plugged it into the Subway calorie counter I linked below and it seems a sandwich like that would be ~236. That's still super low though.

    lots of the subs are already in the database here. I always eat turkey on wheat with cheddar, but drop the cheese for less calores. My sinful sandwiches are the chicken pizziola and the buffalo chicken (with light ranch) weighing in at approx. 450 calories apiece, which is a generaly good meal for me. As long as its under 500 I'm pretty happy. You could also go with flatbread instead, but you should definently look up these calories before you leave.

    Short and sweet, the lowest calorie subs they have are : veggie delight, veggie patty, turkey, black forest ham and chicken, in that order.

    It seems that most everything has some sort of artificial or processed sweetener in it these days.

  • Wow, that's f'n awesome...lol THANKS!

    I get the veggie delight on whole wheat bread. I get provolone cheese, black olives, pickles, lettuce, tomato, and vinegar. Not much, but it's still yummy. The olives and pickles really give it flavor.

    I always go straight for the veggie delight salad, no cheese and every single vegetable they offer!
    Topped with black pepper and red wine vinegar. :love:

    I like Subway, but they are wayyyyy overpriced. $5 for a footlong that has 1 ounce of meat on it is a bit redic.

    But my fav is oven roasted chicken, cheese, lettuce, tomato, green pepper, salt, pepper, on that italian cheesy bread. Oh yea, and I have them add a bit of that sweet onion sauce.

    I'll take Quiznos any day over Subway. Although I'd also be taking more calories, lol.

    I use to get the turkey, but changed to the chicken breast and I stay fuller longer.

    I go with the veggie delight now....I miss my spicy Italians....but whoa that was like 500 cal...before the sauces and stuff :(

    I get ALL my sauces I want on the side. Just watching them, I know they are putting WAY to much on, and I just feel much better if after I get my sandwich, if I can put my own sauces on, at least then I know I'm saying...OH ya I ate a veggie delight w/ light mayo...only 400 calories...when really it was like 800 because they put 10 tbsp's on there.... I'm exaggerating...a bit.. but you get my point.

    I also like getting a BLT...though its something I could totally make at home, but still good there too.

    just fyi, i'm pretty sure that subway white bread does not have hfcs; what was surprising was that the what had it.

    the white bread should be just flour, water, sugar, salt & yeast, like good bread. I almost always get the veggie delight.

    i agree with dr that i love the sweet onion dressing. i get a 6" wheat with turkey, sweet onion dressing, no cheese, light mayo (tiny bit) and tons of veggies, i think its like 240 calories, and yummo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • The nutrition is on there website. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the veggie delite on wheat with no cheese (you dont miss it if you have so many veggies on it) I put vinegar(i dont miss the oil) and oregano on it. So good, yes expensive, but worth it because if I went to wendys or mcds I would end up with fries.

    Veggie delites are amazing! But I'm a vegetarian so yeah. Veggie delight foot long, honey oat bread (only ten more calories than wheat), no cheese, every veggie except olives and onions, vinegar, salt and pepper, sweet onion sauce, all for five dollars!
  • I like the turkey sub for a cold sub. I get double meat if I am really hungry instead of a footlong. I put spinach, tomato, onion, cucumber, black pepper and a little light mayo on the wheat bread. You will not miss the cheese on this.

    For a hot sub I love the roasted chicken breast. I get it on wheat with cheddar cheese toasted. I have spinach, tomato, onion, black pepper, one pass of yellow mustard and the fat free honey mustard. It's delish!

    I really don't like Subway, the only thing I love is incredibly bad for you (which I actually invented LOL- the bacon chx ranch sub!), but my husband loves it so we end up going sometimes.

    I generally get the 6in sweet onion chx teriyaki. No cheese and no mayo (or any of that crap) on the 9 grain bread. It isn't my favorite food in the world but it works. What I like about it is that it isn't bad calorie-wise for a meal but it has flavor. The chicken is flavored and the dressing has a good flavor too- just a plain chx sub with veggies and no dressings or whatever is gross. Bleck.
