Subway Sandwich Calories....be careful

I use the calculator on line to build my sandwich. Go to the All sandwiches, and click on the one you want. On the right it has the nutrition info. Under that, it says calculate yours. Click on that and it will let you add/remove ingredients and update the nutrition info accordingly. I'll do that and take a picture and use that when I order. Not that I go to Subway much - not a big fan of sandwiches most of the time. I think you used to be able to start from scratch, and select the meats as well, but that seems to have disappeared.

There's a great harvest across the street from my office. They make a good grilled cheese, the rest is meh, and it's not a sub.1 -

What I do to figure out Subway calories is go to their list of sandwiches (click here), choose the sandwich I want, then click "Calculate yours" to figure out the nutritional value.
According to Subway's default settings for the turkey breast and ham (which is 6", 9-grain wheat, no cheese, cucumbers, green peppers, lettuce, red onions, and tomatoes with no sauce), that's all the 280 calories that was posted on the board. That's really not much more than your soup and fruit. If you want a sub, eat a sub!1 -
Yikes, thanks for the warning! You also have to be careful how many toppings they add sometimes. I know when I was calculating the nutrition for a burrito from Chipotle the other day, it used standard serving sizes for each addition to determine its caloric content, rather than how much they actually use :x I know when eating out it'll never be 100% perfect, but sometimes you're eating a whole lot more than you think just simply because employees graciously dish you out more than a standard "serving"!0

I think you need to re-read the original post...
he was complaining about how they supposedly provide their nutritional information, not about how they made the sandwiches...
either way, his original sentiment was wrong..and he never came back...2 -
oh man, Chipotle, those guys are just trying to make everyone fat. Did you know they give way more rice than the website says they do!0

So, I went into my local Subway for a change of my usual soup lunch. There are a few low calorie options, but the listed calories can be deceiving if you are not careful. The Turkey Breast & Ham 6" Sub. is listed on their calorie board (Posted listings are required in nyc) as 280 calories. When I asked which bread that was included in that calorie count, the counter man told me the 280 is only for the meat. It doesnt include any bread or condiments. The picture next to the calories is a full sandwich on bread with lettuce , cheese tomatoes etc. In reality if you have a sandwich on 9 grain bread with just tomato and mustard, it comes out to 500 calories! I usually just have a 160 calorie soup and a piece of fruit for lunch. I will go back to that, but be careful of calorie counts. Lesson learned
Bro. You wear a suit, which means you probably know how to read.
Read the calorie list and it details what the calorie count includes, which the bread is included.
WTH man, also, your reality is incorrect. I hope you don't work in finance.
Lol! Sorry this made me laugh. Too funny. XD0 -

They only have 60 calories and you can load them up with your choice of healthy toppings. My favorites are LEAN ham, a SUPER thin slice of Monterey Jack cheese, boatloads of raw spinach and some Peach Mango salsa.... YUMMY!!!! Mine comes in at right around 200 calories...
YUM! I will definitely be trying this out.0 -
