    I always get a footlong veggie (no cheese), but that's a lot like salad, so if you're tired of salad, that won't exactly work. The 6" roast chicken on wheat is good - add lots of veggies on top! They have nutrition info on their website so you can pretty much figure out what you can eat within your personal guidelines from there.

    I love subway, the new brekky sandwich is great (the english muffin one) for like 170 cals, but for a sandwich, definitely the turkey/ham on the wheat. the flat bread may look intriguing but the wheat's probably better. I cant skip the cheese, but def skip the mayo and salt!

    That's what I'm having for dinner! I would stick to a 6" sub because there is SO much sodium in the bread.

    I get 6" oven roasted chicken on wheat (it's the lowest cal bread), no cheese (save 50 or so calories), lettuce, tomato, green pepper, black olive and sweet onion sauce. The sweet onion sauce adds about 40 calories and about 7g of sugar, but I think it's SO much more satisfying that way. So I'm not tempted to come home with the meatball sub (the worst sub they make!!).

    I had that for lunch yesterday. I get a 6" wheat, no cheese, either beef or turkey, loads of veggies, oil and vinegar!

    I always go with 6" turkey on wheat, no cheese w/ spinach leaves, tomatoes, cucumbers, banana peppers & vinegar. Sometimes mustard, but no matter how much I emphasize "a little bit of mustard" I end up with AT LEAST 4 tablespoons....so a lot of times I just leave it off. I've occasionallly ripped off the top part of my bread for an openfaced sandwich, cutting your bread cals & sodium in half...

    Due to going to work/school and having no time in between on Thursdays-I get a footlong sub, and eat it for lunch and then dinner. This way, it is better for me calorie wise. It is terrible for sodium, but honestly-it is either this or eat McDonalds or something, so I am much happier about this decision. I always figure-whatever works-go for it.

    if you look at subways nutrition table at the bread - the 6" italian (white) bread has less calories and sodium than the 9 grain wheat! And less than the flatbread!

    yes but the whole wheat is more caloric dense. More fiber and better for you. It takes your body longer to break it down versus that processed white bread...

    Calories mean little, it's the KIND of calories.

    Last night I was there, and they asked me if I wanted salt.

    "No thanks, there's already enough in there."

    I can feel my book pressure go up when I see people get extra salt poored over their sub. How is that possibly worth it?!

    NOT TRUE!!!! All subway breads are made with ENRICHED FLOUR! That's right. . .the "9 grain wheat" bread is just non bleached white bread.

    I only get the wheat bread because it toastes and tastes better to me.

    Instead of asking us for toppings since we don't know what you like add your fav sub on this website including all veggies and dressings to get the most accurate calorie quote.

    Veggie sub is the best if you are watching sodium or chicken breast is decent compared to ham which is sooooooo high in sodium (I believe its about 3000 a foot long). The chicken breast is on the $5 menu in the states but on the premium menu $8.99 in Canada so it depends on where you are located for the best deal.

    Ps: what’s up with the USA not having BBQ sauce at subway? Even in the southern states where BBQ sause in king. Thought that was weird but I do like how the US has spinach as a vegetable/topper option.

    You can take the middle out of the bread to cut the carbs down.
