It is just fast food in a tiny disguise. Every time I walk past the place and its putrid smell hits by nostrils I gag.

Why do you like subway? Is it just because it is convenient?



**Obviously this question hit a sore spot with some people. I am not judging people food choices, it is a legit question.

    I always feel so disappointed in myself after I eat at Subway.

    It's loaded with sodium as well.

    Subway is the hooker of food.

    I totally agree with you. I can think of more delicious mom and pop sub shops that use better ingredients and have better bread they bake themselves. I will usually only eat subway out of desperation, like if I am starving and its the only low cal option around(since they are everywhere).

    I don't eat subway often, but I don't get what is so bad about it. it's a lot better than other fast food options, and you can load your sandwich up with veggies. The sodium count comes into play with the cold cuts, but if your not all concerned about sodium because you drink plenty of water and/or even with a subway sandwich you are still under your sodium levels, then I hardly see what is so bad about it.

    At least you would be being honest with yourself if you ate McDonalds. It is what it is. But subway pretends not to be what it is.

    This

    If I was out and the choice was a Big Mac, Large Fries or a Chicken and Salad Sub, I know which choice I'd be making.

    I love it because I can get a veggie salad made the way that I want it...no cheese, no dressing and a lot of veggies that I love. :o)

    So by your logic a turkey sandwich w/ veggies is the same as a triple stuft 7 layer burrito from Taco Bell?

    okay...

    That's funny I was asking this same question earlier today. Is this considered fast food??? I actually like the flat bread with turkey, veges and honey mustard.

    There are so many better, fresher, and tastier sandwich places. I love jersey mikes, they slice the meat in front of you with a slicer and pile it high! Mmm . Firehouse is bomb as well. The roast beef at subway is literally holographic, and that scares me a little.

    Had one once, don't know what the fuss is about. It was sort of okay I guess, but nowhere near as nice as something I'd put together myself.

    My attitude to meals outside the home have changed a lot over the years, these days if it's not significantly better than something I could prepare myself, I'm not interested in paying for it.

    Pretty much that. Sometimes you're in a situation where it's either that or McD's and I'm going to pick Subway every time.

    Because every celebrity endorse it! It is loaded with sodium! I was shocked to find this out. My husband is the one that realized how much sodium it had in it because I was wondering everytime I ate it why I never lost weight. I would just stay the same weight. I still do eat it but only every once in a while.

    I dunno, i stopped eating subway months ago but for a completely different reason...

    it really isn't healthy and it's a shame people are led to believe it is. I mean it's not the worst thing for you but it's not very good either!
