    How is it fast food wearing a disguise? How are you dishonest with yourself for eating there?

    Subway is extremely clear on their calorie, sodium, fat and carbohydrate information. They have one of the most user-friendly nutritional guides I've ever seen!

    I don't think anyone is fooling themselves by eating at Subway...unless they can't read.

    Personally, I choose not to eat there because of the high sodium content, but why look down on someone else for eating there?
    Once again peeps. Not looking down on any ones food intake. Just plain old interested. Or is that not really allowed anymore?
    I find bananas to be disgusting and their smell repellant.

    Do you like bananas? Is it because they are convenient?

    I don't eat that garbage anymore. I'd rather go to McDonalds and get a salad than eat at that place.

    Because whether I like it or not, most of my social occasions involve food. I can almost always convince people to choose Subway or Wendy's, where they can get wherever they want and I can get turkey, cheese, and mustard on wheat. While it may not be the best option, it is a better option. I'm sure you're on MFP because you've always made the best choices, right?


    Gosh I feel completely attacked. Not what I was going for, I shall obviously have to more careful next time. I have never said that I make the right choices all the time. I am not saying I am better than others because i Don't eat subway. I am genuinely interested.

    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 bet there's a food you love that I find disgusting, but I would never question why you like it. Personal taste is personal taste.


    There most definitely will be a food I eat that you don't like. I can question people it doesn't mean I am judging.

    Nope. Not judging at all.

    Fast food salads often have more fat and calories than the burgers -- and Subway's sandwiches.

    OK. Were are you from America? Obviously my way of talking has not translated well via a forum. I bow down and sincerely apologise. It is a personal statement.

    Subway has salads. 130 calories in fact. Basically, it's the sandwich w/o the bread.

    BTW, they also offer yogurt parfait at 160 calories.

    I like Subway. Good food at a good price and low in calories. Watch the sodium though. Of course you could forgo the cheese.

    When I walk past subway the baking bread always smells good to me.

    You say that you are just legitimately asking and not judging anyone, but with comments like "At least you would be being honest with yourself if you ate McDonalds" that implies judgment, as though we're only going to subway to convince ourselves that we're being healthy when we obviously aren't. It all depends on what you order and how it fits into your own personal nutrition goals.

    I don't think it's obsessing for most people. Not unless you are Jared who probably is getting paid very well for it.

    Thank you! I was just thinking that. And honestly, it pissed me off when she responded to my post like that. I absolutely felt judged at that comment. But anyway... I think the sweet onion chicken teriyaki is just dandy.

    Why are you making a divide? I don't catergorise people according to whether they eat subway or not. That is silly. I am sticking with my argument to spark a discussion, Which is obviously impossible here because people feel personally attacked. Not my intention. I can say that subway is a fast food place because that is what I believe. And that's O.K because we live in a society where I can apparently exercise my right to free thinking. I am in no position to judge anyone, I am overweight and that didn't come from eating salads did it.

    A Subway sandwich can be whatever you want it to be. It can be healthy or not. You can choose lower sodium options, lower fat options, lower calorie options -- completely customizable.

    I totally agree!!! Make it the way you want it... I personally like Subway when in the mood for a sandwhich! I like the convenience of having all the veggies to choose from (never have that many at home, LOL!)
