Subway

I find most of the sub places are high sodium. Thats processed meats for you I guess.

The bread is loaded with HFCS and ammonia. Their meats are super processed, so they are going to be loaded with sodium. They are not nearly as healthy as they promote themselves to be.

oh yea the sodium kills at subway, it's all in the processed lunch meat

So that's Subway and McDonalds beaten to death.

Who's next?

Holy cow .. I thought I was doing good. I had a 6" Cold Cut Combo with American Cheese, Lettuce and Spinach on Honey Oat bread, and a small bag of chips. I even opted to drink water instead of getting lemonade. (I love lemonade)

I go about my business, and just put in my lunch. Really Subway? 1120 grams of sodium for that sandwich?

Has anyone else noticed the obnoxious amount of sodium in Subway sandwiches?

i know a place like subway can appear to be be good, but in no way is any type of fast food healthy. heck, i wouldn't even trust their salads.

you could probably use low sodium cold cuts, and whole wheat bread (or wrap) and light dressing and make this at home! you need to make the extra effort the night before, if this is something you like to eat for lunch. forward planning is one of the keys to success in this change of lifestyle.

Even if you buy your lunch meat OTC from the supermarket it's always loaded with sodium as a preservative. Even the low sodium brands.

If it bothers you that much, you probably have to take it off your menu. If not maybe adjust your water intake accordingly.

You've already gotten a lot of responses . . but I just wanted to you to know my own personal experience, nearly identical to yours!

On my very first day on MFP (believe it or not!) I went to Subway thinking, I will just order a healthy sandwich . . I mean, Subway is touted to be "so good for you"? I came back to my desk at work and proceeded to log my lunch only to find out that the ham sub I had chosen was LADEN with sodium and fat. I was floored.

I think the key to eating out is planning ahead! If I plan to go out to eat for lunch, dinner, etc. I will look at the restaurant's website if possible and/or try to look it up on MFP to make the best choices possible. And I try to drink a LOT more water on the days I eat out, to flush out the sodium especially.

I think you just need to rework your sandwich. I had subway last night, and I kept adjusting my choice on their website until it came out with the numbers that I wanted. The honey oat bread starts at 330, so the sodium came from the meats, mustard/mayo if you used any and then cheese, jalepenos, banana peppers, olives, and pickles all add up. My sandwich was about 600 which is still higher than if I had made my own, I'm sure. But, for a "fast food meal" I'll take it! Sodium isn't hiding in any of those things. You know going in that the processed lunch meat will be high as will the veggies that are not fresh and condiments you may add. Go to their site, play with the totals and then remember a sandwich that won't put you over for those times when you need a quick meal.

As soon as I heard cold cut I knew your post was going to be about sodium. Check out other deli meats from the grocery store... they are almost just as bad. I have started baking chicken on Sundays to make my sandwiches with. If I'm in a hurry like today, I won't use more than 2 slices of deli meat. It's insane.

It's really shocking to see how much sodium is in deli meats. Many of them have like 680 in 1 serving!! Ridiculous! I do find some at lower amounts but you really have to look at the packages. I guess sodium must serve as some sort of preserver in those meats??!!
