Ordering a sandwich at subway

What meals/food were they comparing?

 

this is exactly how i feel when i get a coffee type beverage at dunkin donuts. cant say i feel the same way about getting a sub though...maybe its because i never got a sandwich at subway but i cant imagine other sub restaurants are that different.

 

are those veggie patty things worth getting? i stopped buying subs because veggie subs don't actually fill me up, and subway's tuna salad is kind of gross. i might give the veggie patty a try though.

 

Subway she is a porno.

 

who's specialty is 12 inches.

Subway may promote itself as the "healthy" fast food restaurant, but it might not be a much healthier alternative than McDonald's for adolescents, according to new UCLA research.

The Institute of Medicine recommends that school lunches not exceed 850 calories. An adolescent should consume an average of about 2,400 calories in a day.

Among the researchers' other findings:

The sandwiches purchased by participants contained an average of 784 calories at Subway versus 572 calories at McDonald's.
Participants purchased sugary drinks averaging 61 calories at Subway, and 151 calories at McDonald's.
Customers in the study purchased side items such as french fries and potato chips that added an average of 35 calories at Subway compared with 201 calories at McDonald's.
Participants consumed 102 grams of carbohydrates at Subway; 128 grams at McDonald's.
The meals contained an average of 36 grams of sugar at Subway; 54 grams at McDonald's.
Meals contained an average of 41 grams of protein at subway; 32 grams at McDonald's.
Sodium intake averaged 2,149 mg at Subway; 1,829 mg at McDonald's.
"The nutrient profile at Subway was slightly healthier, but the food still contained three times the amount of salt that the Institute of Medicine recommends," Lesser said.

The authors suggested that the higher sodium content of the Subway meals likely came from the restaurant's processed meats. Processed meats in general are associated with obesity, cardiovascular disease and cancer.

The researchers noted some weaknesses in the study. They did not track the subjects' meals for the rest of the day, so it was unclear whether participants ate less at other times of the day to compensate for the excess calories. Also, participants were from a single suburb of Los Angeles and most were of Asian descent or of mixed race and ethnicity, so their purchase patterns may not be applicable to other populations.

Lesser recommends that McDonald's customers eliminate sugary drinks and french fries from their meals. "And if you go to Subway, opt for smaller subs, and ask for less meat and double the amount of veggies," he said.

So, if you are between 14 and 21, like lots of meat, and eat elsewhere - moderate your lifestyle choices

I have never had a Subway,nor ever will,so I don't have to worry about any of this.

 

six inch, honey oat, roast beef, no cheese, no toasted, honey mustard, all the produce, no oil and vinigar no shakers. for here. and a small drink.

alternatively, bacon and tuna instead of the roast beef if they'll do it.

pretty much the only "fast food" franchise i really care for. although carl's is ok too, i guess.

i'm just not big on fast food joints. if i'm going to eat someone else's cooking instead of my own, i'd rather eat in a real resteraunt, when i can afford one.

subway, there's one half way between my house and the grocery store, so i stop there, about once a week or so, on my way to the store to get groceries.

 

haha I know what ya mean.. I sometimes feel uncomfortable placing my order. However, I usually don't get much on my sub.. just a typical italian sandwich w/ oil and vinegar on it.. or I sometimes get the buffalo chicken sub.

Any of you guys actually use the Subway card that you can get points on? I got 2 free footlongs so far w/ it :sunny:

Haven't been to subway in awhile tho..

 

Nope. I've used their vouchers. The card seems like a massive con. But, to be fair, I have never bothered to read the small print.

 

Yeah, it basically takes quite a bit of purchases to get enough points on your card for a free footlong. $1 = 1 point i believe and it takes like 75 points or so for a free footlong... I just have my mom put points on my card when she buys a bunch of subs for the family..adds up quick lol

 

As it happens, a new Subway recently opened close to where I live. So I had to go and try it. Exactly the same as the ones I tried in Thailand and Chile.
Isn't that just great.

 

i have a feeling that if they did track this, it would come out even worse for subway. if a have a footlong sub for lunch, i'm starving again in 4 or 5 hours, while if i have even a small meal from mcdonalds for lunch, i feel full for the rest of the day.

why not, do you have no interest in what's going on in the world around you? i just don't understand refusing to try anything; my curiosity won't allow it. except skydiving, but that's a bit beyond eating at a fast food place once.
