    If I remember right, their sodium is off the charts.

    I personally avoid Subway since I've gotten food poisoning from them twice, different locations each time. Their sanitation practices aren't exactly great, either.

    Subway really isnt healthy at all. The sandwhichs are loaded with sodium. The bread is no where near whole grain.

    I would agree it is better then some other fast food options. If I were to go there now knowing what I have learned durning this venture I would choose to do a salad loaded with veggies or a wrap.

    If you want the lower cal alternatives then look at the website which contains all nutritional information for each sub.

    But here is the general rule of thumb if you want to 'eat low cal' at subway.

    Only eat the 6" subs and not foot longs. Have all the salads. Do not add cheese or sauces and eat the healthy choice (6g of fat or less) range.

    No subway cookies or soft drinks either.

    I wouldn't say subway is unhealthy but it does have a lot of sodium. If you can do without the hi cal sauces and dressings, extra meat and extra cheese, cookies, soda, and chips, then you're good.

    If I go out to lunch, which is very seldom, I opt for Subway. 6" Veggie sub on wheat, no cheese or condiments...290 calories & 410mg sodium.

    I stopped eating there after a conversation with a former employee . . .

    Their bread is not "freshly baked"; it is parbaked, shipped to them frozen in these weird little sticks, and finished in the store.

    They add fragrancing chemicals to the bread to make it smell fresh. (This is why the stores smell so odd.)

    Also, they use very old Teflon pans, many of which have begun to flake. If that isn't scary I don't know what is.

    I'll go into any fast food type place just to see how the kitchen looks, and to see how the staff handle things
    if it doesn't look clean or I don't like how the staff work around the food I'll leave. If I've never been inside
    I won't use their drive thru. But you still don't know how long they keep food around before they serve it to
    you.

    But when I go to subway I like to get a 6 inch italian bmt, bread (not all locations have the same ones I'm all over the country)
    spinach, tomato, pickles, onions, and vinegar. Not sure what the cals are will find out when I need to log it though.

    The database here on MFP has various Subway sandwich combinations listed...you could look there and use the Subway website as well. I wouldn't eat there everyday like Jared did but once in a while might work for you

    I don't eat at subway cause I don't think it tastes good, and I can get a better tasting sandwich or felafel roll from a suburban takeaway for the same amount of calories. If it fails the taste test, it doesn't matter how healthy it is, I won't eat it!

    if i have subway i try to keep my sodium way down for everything else that day. i usually get the 6" turkey & black forrest ham on whole wheat, sometimes i get cheese and loaded with veggies. and then usually mustard. or i dont get any condiments and just put 1tablespoon of light mayo on when i get home
