Subway not NEARLY as healthy as everyone assumes

In fact, Subway is off the charts unhealthy.  Subway always makes a stink about how good their sandwiches are for you, mainly about how little fat there is.  Now when one looks closer at what exactly Subway is counting in their nutritional facts there is a lot more to the story than ‘under 6 grams of fat’.  This only applies for sandwiches that are 6 inches in length and strictly include: wheat bread, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, green peppers and olives.  What happens when you add sauce, or mayo, or cheese?  The once healthy Subway’s nutritional values start to climb rather quickly.  One also has to remember that when comparing from food chain to food chain that most other fast food includes all their toppings in nutritional facts.

“While you might not have cheese, your sub is going to be really dry with just the ingredients they’re counting. And whatever you add to change that (sauce, mayo, oil) is going to be where a bunch more fat and calories come from! So I took a look at Burger King and McDonalds just to see, and surprise! When you select a sandwich, they give you the nutrition for everything in it. And the sandwiches with cheese are listed differently. So you get all the ingredients for a sandwich (including mayo, ketchup, whatever) selected by default, and then you can uncheck whatever ingredients you don’t get. And I’m pretty sure that selecting a healthy option at one of those places will be a lot closer to some of the sandwiches at Subway when you count all the ingredients you actually get. “

So, when comparing a whopper or other sandwiches to Subway (chicken sandwiches are probably a better comparison) you’re really comparing apples to oranges when putting their values side by side. Another dark side to Subway’s ‘healthy food’: the exorbitant amount of sodium found in EVERYTHING.  To begin, our recommended daily intake of sodium is 2400 mg. Now take a closer look at Subway’s master list of sandwich nutritional facts found here.  Let’s skip the 6 inch sandwiches because lets be honest, when’s the last time they filled anybody up?  Their self proclaimed ‘low fat’ sandwiches measure in between sixty to one hundred percent daily sodium! (sans the veggie delight)  You could go to your local ‘greasy spoon diner’ and find better alternatives for keeping one’s arteries from solidifying from so much salt.  Next time when you’re out looking for a healthy alternative to fast food, know that you’ve been duped  all these years and don’t immediately discredit your stereotypical fast food chains as being unhealthy
