I used to get a Veggie Patty with pepperjack cheese on wheat with spinach, banana peppers and marinara sauce on top of it. Now I live in a different state and city that doesn't not offer veggie patties. Does anyone got any suggestions? I don't like lettuces or tomatoes...well I'm the kind of person who needs a strong favor to cover the taste. Can anyone make a suggestion on what to order? I like avocado, which is a healthy fat, so idk. Let me know :)

    My favorite is turkey on honey oat (or flat bread) light mayo, mustard, vinegar and oil, spinach (instead of lettuce), red onions, banana peppers and swiss cheese

    Lettuce, chicken, tomato, bacon, and a little ranch or mayo is good enough for me.

    Veggies and chicken or turkey on whole wheat. The only sauce I consider acceptable is the sweet onion or the vinaigrette, all the others are loaded with saturated fat.

    Try their grilled chicken and baby spinach salad, especially with vinegar. It's amazing (plus the avocado tastes great on salad!)

    I usually order the following:

    12' Turkey on Wheat(for fiber purposes)
    -American Cheese
    -Lettuce
    -Tomatoes
    -Cucumber
    -Avocado
    -Light Mayo

    I use to order the 6' before but upgraded because I was having difficulty maintaining my recommended calorie intake.

    The only thing I'll ever eat:

    6" turkey breast on brown. No cheese, and fill 'er up with as many veggies as you like. No sauce. DONE! =D Top that off with a soup or yogurt parfait and you're good to go!

    I love the veggie patty...but I would pack a lunch. Subways food is to high in sodium for me : )

    Good luck!

    I usually order the following:

    12' Oven Roasted Chicken on Honey Oat.
    -American Cheese (2 Slices - Give me some but down 40 Calories).
    - Spinach
    - Lettuce
    - Tomatoes
    - Cucumber
    - Green Peppers
    - Red Onion
    - Salt and Pepper
    - Vinegar and Oil (Sometimes)
    - Light Strip of Ranch for flavor.


    I use the meal function to add all the individual parts together I find that easier for going back to it later:

    Subway - Tomato (3 Wheels), 68 g 10 2 0 0 0 2
    Subway - Lettuce (Per 6" Sub), 42 g 0 0 0 0 0 0
    Subway - Green Peppers, 12 inch serving 0 0 0 0 0 0
    Subway - Red Onion (6 Inch), 14 g 0 2 0 0 0 0
    Subway - Cucumbers, 12 inch serving 10 2 0 0 0 0
    Subway - Processed American Cheese, 6 ' sub (2 triangles) 11g 40 1 4 2 200 0
    Subway - Oven Roasted Chicken Breast 6" on Honey Oat, 12 " 640 98 9 46 1,500 14
    Total: 700 105 13 48 1700 16

    Biggest issue is the "sodium" most of the lunch meats.

    Sometimes I do the Roast Beef, however, it costs about $1.25 had more sodium (1870 vs 1700) but saves 10 calories.
    Since Chicken is on Special this month I have been eating it.

    I don't have a sandwich suggestion. But, I would say if you haven't tried the sweet onion sauce you should. It is delicious.

    I always order a six inch Turkey on flatbread. Cheese, all the veggies I want (I usually get spinach instead of lettuce because it's more nutritious) and mustard. Sometimes salt and pepper and vinegar if I'm feeling it that day.

    If turkey, oven roasted chicken, or buffalo chicken are a $5 footlong deal for the month, I'll get a twelve inch and eat the other half for lunch the next day.

    First, I'll just say I cut calories on Subway sandwiches by always ordering wheat bread and by asking the Subway guy to "carve out the bread." I like the bread to be kind of a "shell" for the ingredients, so I can still taste it but I don't have as much filler (or calories!). I also ask any sauce they put on it to be put on very sparingly, and I never use any of the full-fat sauces.

    I like a 6" Turkey on Wheat w/ provolone, lettuce, tomatoes, (obviously you don't have to get these if you don't like them), extra olives, light on the honey mustard and sweet onion sauce, and olive oil/vinegar (they usually put WAY too much of this on, so when I ask for it I specify "Just a tiny bit--one small squirt across"). If you don't like the lettuce and tomatoes I think cucumber and sprouts or spinach would do the trick.

    This months $5 special, oven roasted chicken:
    wheat bread
    american cheese
    spinach
    banana pepper
    tomatoes
    jalapeno
    spicy mustard

    I eat half for lunch (360 calories) and the other half for dinner.

    If you go to their website, it will allow you to build your sandwich with condiments to see what the calories and nutrition will be.

    you could try a salad, theyre really good and I eat them all the time.
    MY best suggestion though is the sweet onion chicken teriyaki. THe sauce is so sweet and yummy and its fat free. I like it on wheat and in my salad, if I get a salad i always go no cheese, and add basically everything else they offer besides the shredded lettuce and cherry hots.

    I like the teriyaki onion.

    I am HIGHLY suspicious of the oven roasted chicken breast. Why are all the patties identical?
    Bet it's made from pink chicken paste.

    ..And everything from subway is a massive sodium bomb...

    Sorry but Subway's are nutritionally poor (and I'm being polite). The quality of ingredients is below par particularly if you are going to include the protein intake.

    Don't get me wrong, I'll have the odd one myself but just don't kid yourself that they are in any way healthy!

    You might be right....but most of us are inept at cooking or preparing home grown food. Subway provides a healthier convenient alternative to McDonalds or Taco Bell.

    This will sound harsh but that's a pretty poor excuse. There are plenty of much healthier alternatives and as for not being able to cook, if you're journey is going to be successful then you need to learn. How else can you fully understand food?

    I usually get the 6 inch on wheat with turkey, american, spinach, tomatoes, onion, salt and pepper and a little light mayo. Then I take the top half of the bun off to eat it. That is if I'm not opting for a spinach salad. Those are goood too. Especially if you get everything on it then get a side of apples and break the apples up on top. Yummmm

    True. I like Subway as well, but definitely has a lot of sodium.

    I love roast beef on flatbread, with cucumbers, pickles, onions, lettuce, tomatoes and mustard. No cheese.

    When I do subway, it's a special treat, so I don't go for the most calorie-conscious choice. I make room for it in my day and enjoy it. I LOVE Tuna fish on wheat, with swiss, then I ask for tons of veggies, pretty much every veg they have except hot peppers or olives, then sweet onion sauce on top. YUM!

    If I get Subway(and thats a very big IF because I find it absolutely disgusting and if I'm going to have a sub sandwich, I would rather have it from a real sub place) I get Turkey, Cheese, Mayo and Lettuce on Italian Bread.

    That's the really sad part, because I have been watching my sodium lately because of high bp, and a subway sandwich has more sodium than a McDonald's chicken nugget happy meal...so kinda feels like they are both crap.

    I usually get the turkey breast as a salad - have them put in lots of spinach, onions, tomatoes, olives - with oil and viengar. sometimes I add a little chipolte to spice it up. very filling
