Plan on eating Subway

Here's the Subway USA page:
http://www.subway.com/en-us/menunutrition/menu

To access the interactive part, click on the sub you want (like Classic Tuna) then at the bottom of the sidebar on the right, click Calculate Yours.

For reasons I can't explain, a US tuna sub, built as close to the way I like tuna subs here in Australia, is 630 calories!! Compared with an almost identical tuna sub in Australia, which is 480 cal.

One difference is the sauce ... I like Aioli at 60 cal (and I usually ask for about half the usual amount), but the closest to that on the US menu is Ranch at 100 cal.

The cheese appears to be the same.

The bread appears to be the same.

The salad stuff is mostly the same.

The difference must be in the tuna mix itself.

That seems like a bit of a stretch, given that the tuna mix alone is listed at 250 for a 6" sub. That's nowhere near that kind of difference, unless you order a tuna sub with no tuna mix. Something's off.

Well, there was that 40 cal difference with the sauce.

Also, I don't know how much tuna goes onto a US sub, but there isn't much on an Australian sub. They show a beautiful sub absolutely stuffed full of tuna in the picture, but what you actually get is a couple tiny ice cream scoops spread into a thin layer.

It's entirely possible that it's down to portion sizing then, paired with the difference in Aioli. Also, your tuna mix could be using some kind of sauce instead of the mayo that goes into ours (it's 84% fat cals in the 250, at 210).
I'd be willing to bet on it having to be a combination of the two though.

Yeah, mayo isn't particularly popular here, so maybe they make the tuna mix with something else.

oh - love tuna 6"

I use to love subways. Bought a Fireman's Club one day and it was enough for 3 days. But I could not go back to Subways after that

What is a Firemans sub? And why can't you go back?

Firehouse Subs "Club" sandwich?

Their subs are heavy duty though, usually around 1000 cals.

Chicken, bacon, tomatoes, lettuce, pickles and lite ranch
