    I usually get a footlong oven roasted turkey on wheat with no cheese and a lot of veggies. I eat 6 in. for dinner and save the rest for lunch the next day.

    Used to manage a subway...ate it almost every day for three years. Quit, and now I really don't eat there at all.

    However, I never had any issues maintaining my weight or anything even eating subway twice a day for so long and the sodium that it is full of. So unless sodium has a huge affect on you, I don't see the problem.

    My problem with subway is the food itself, the chemicals it's packed in/preserved in, and the practices used in the back when customers cannot see. The meat isn't quality meat, full of fat, gristle, blood and bone [in the chicken strips].

    However, when I DO decide I need subway I get a footlong turkey with avo :) yumyum.

    i was a manager at dairy queen, i SOOOO know what you mean lol....
    i now work at starbucks haha which is not any better.

    I have a roast chicken salad when I go there, 350 calories with double meat and sweat onion sauce and no bread.


    Sweat onion sauce, I want this even less now, lol

    Yes, Subway is a much better "deal" when it comes to calories spent than most places. I love the foot long turkey melt (640 calories).

    I went to Taco Bell and ate a Volcano Burrito and it was good, but when I got home and logged it, it was 780 calories! In one burrito! It wasn't huge either! I was so sad that I didn't get my nightly treat since I had used up all my calories.

    Pre-carb-limiting I loved Subway. EXCEPT that ordering stresses me out.

    On the menu is a (eg) "South west southern melt". Look good. I'll have one of those.

    BUT NO!!! You can't. You have to answer "What meat?" "Cheese?" "What sauce?" "Which salads?" "Do you want it toasted?"

    I JUST WANT WHAT'S ON THE MENU DAMNIT!!!

    Imagine ordering a BigMac at Maccas and being asked "Which meat do you want? Do you want special sauce? Lettuce? Cheese? Pickles?" ... NO I JUST WANT THE DAMN BURGER.

    Sorry. Had to get it off my chest. Subway is great, but sometimes I don't want to think about it, I just want what you have on your menu.

    "I hate when that happens...you look up and poof.......gone! :)" This is what I do! ;) But also take 1/2 of the bread and dump! I still get double meat and veggies

    Once upon a time I would do a whole foot-long with the chips and a soda. Now the wife and I split it all and add a package of the apple slices to round out the meal.

    I get a footlong, put all the stuff on one half so I save calories on bread - I LOVE subway

    I used to be able to, but now, not so much. I do the 6" subs for dinner and if it's lunch time, I'll have a 3". It works out pretty good. And ever since I discovered those vacuum seal baggie things, I can vacuum seal any leftovers for the next day and keep them from getting soggy.

    I never eat a footlong. I mean, I probably COULD, but even though my sub is only veggie, I also get light mayo and cheese on it. A foot long would bring me up to over 800 calories, so it just doesn't happen. A 6 inch satisfies me now, so that is all I really need anyway.

    I had a foot long the other night - no dressing; turkey, cheese & all salad except chilli & pickle (shoulda lost the cheese) but I think moving all the filling to one half is a great idea :-)

    I love their Veggie Delite sandwiches. I have never been able to eat a footlong, the 6 inches fill me up nicely.
