Subway Restaurant Nutritional Information

Although Subway encourages you to “eat fresh,” this popular slogan does not accurately reflect the nutritional situation. Although Subway has a healthy menu, not everything on it is nutritious. Continue reading for a list of Subway’s healthy and not-so-healthy meal options.

Dishes that are healthier

The Fresh Fit menu has the majority of Subway’s healthier options. These foods are high in protein and low in calories and fat. The American Heart Association’s Trusted Source has awarded the majority of them Heart-Check Certification (AHA).

This signifies the meal has been verified as a heart-healthy option by the American Heart Association (AHA). Subway is the first fast-food restaurant to receive Heart-Check Certification, according to their website.

Sandwiches

The following sandwiches are only eligible for Heart-Check Certification if they are made using 9-grain wheat bread, lettuce, tomatoes, green peppers, onions, and cucumbers. Also, keep in mind that the salt content only fits the requirements if it is the only item you eat. If you add chips, the total will almost certainly exceed the allocated amount.

  • tomatoes
  • onions
  • bell peppers
  • banana peppers
  • jalapenos

Last but not least

Many other fast-food restaurants lack the range of healthy meal options that Subway has. Subway’s meals are generally low in sugar and a good source of fiber and protein, however many are also high in fat and salt

Subway’s appeal stems from the fact that you can customize your dish. Choose healthful toppings and skip the cheese and full-fat condiments to take advantage of this choice. Instead of conventional chips, use baked chips (130 calories, 2g fat) as a side dish (230 calories, 15g fat). Instead of a chocolate chip cookie, satisfy your sweet taste with apple slices (35 calories, 0g fat) (200 calories, 10g fat).
