    In my opinion, sodium doesn't matter, unless you have high blood pressure. Wheat is far from bad for you, unless you have celiac disease. Therefore, I say go for it. All that really matters to your diet is eating fewer calories than your body burns. If the Subway diet helps you do that without feeling hungry too much, then it's a great diet for you.

    Has anyone ever tried it? Does it work? I'm on a subway kick right now.

    Subway is not my cup of tea so I wouldn't try it. I think you can eat there on occasion and be healthy but overall it's not the best way to eat no matter how much they try to fool us otherwise.

    I eat Subway at least 1x a week. It's better alternative for me than McDonald's, Burger King, Chick fil A and if you chose the right sammy you can keep a hold of your calories.

    Well I'm a college kid so I have a hard time cooking meals all the time since i'm constantly on the go. I guess I thought that it was a good fast food option. It seems to have been working for me...

    Depends on which sandwich you get there! Lol. If I eat subway it's always a 6" turkey breast and ham sandwich on italian white. According to their nutrition fact sheet it's 280/290 calories. Then I add lettuce, onions, tomato, pickles, jalapenos and banana peppers. With a dash of salt & pepper. No cheese and no dressings. That equates to still being under 300 cals or just a tad above 300 calories.

    Hey! I usually get the 6" turkey on wheat bread with veggies. NO Cheese NO mayo etc. and I eat it with some baked chips and water. It usually comes out to less than 300 cals which is awesome!

    I usually get turkey and ham or the ham, footlong, on wheat, WITH low fat mayo and cheese. It's around 900 calories and is low fat; the only problem is the sodium. This is easy to work into your healthy diet; I usually eat a small-medium breakfast and dinner around it. I eat mine with water and no chips. I don't understand people who would go to Subway and shoot for a 300 calorie meal; that's just not enough calories for a meal, at least not for me at 6 feet tall. Subway is pretty cheap considering the variety of vegetables you can add -- spinach is a rare sandwich item but Subway always has it. :)

    300 cals would be enough if you eat a couple small meals a day. How many cals are you allowed? 900 is over half the amount i'm allowed in a day so that would be hard. I actually don't like subway cheese so i'm in luck!

    they have a lot of good options if you pay attention... remember that this was based off of a guy who ate a lot of 6inch veggie subs.... do the research and if it's better than what you were eating, then go for it and make the right choices... being in college is hard enough as it is to try to have to eat healthy in a dining facility or cook your own healthy food.... pay attention to the nutrition facts and make sound decisions....

    This is coming from the Subway QUEEN :)

    Say yes to what you can eat that will keep you in control of your eating - if that means you treat yourself to subway / pizza / mcdonalds / even a funnel cake once in a while, that's ok - are you maintaining your control and staying under your calories for the day?

    Personally I'm not a huge fan of subway (Jimmy Johns has better bread), but for a regular thing, its definitely better than a lot of alternatives out there. Watch the sodium, and watch the toppings (lettuce & onions? great! mayo, black olives, etc - not so much :)

    I consider Subway a good choice for me when I go to lunch with "non-diet" friends: I have the veggie delight with no sauce or anything added, apple slices instead of chips and unsweet tea. Beats any other fast food any time!

    is a good option for takeaways. Much better than pizza or a burger.
    I like the salads they have cos am trying to avoid bread for a while.

    Subway has a lot of fatty meats, fatty sauces, tons of sodium, and no wholegrain breads. You're better off making a sandwich at home.

    That's why it tastes so good! :D
