Daily Weight Loss Tips

After Jared’s weight loss publicity, many people think that all Subway® subs are diet food. Not so! Some of them are, and others aren’t. If you are on a diet, you really have to watch which sandwiches you get and what you put on them.

All “6 grams of fat or less” sandwiches include the bread, meat and veggies. That’s it! No cheese, no mayo and no oil. Basically, the “diet sandwich” is cheeseless and dry.

Most people always get cheese on their sandwiches. Those 2 tiny cheese pieces add 60 calories and 5 grams of fat.

1 tbsp of mayo would add another 110 calories and 12 grams of fat. Light mayo (1 tbsp) is 50 calories and 5 grams of fat). 1 tbsp of oil is 135 calories and 15 grams of fat.

Also, make sure you only get those “6 grams of fat or less” sandwiches, because some of the other ones are really caloric. For example, the 6-inch Meatball sub has 560 calories and 21 grams of fat - almost as much as McDonald’s BigMac (590 calories, 34 grams of fat). And the Tuna sub has 530 calories and 31 grams of fat - so much for the “healthy fish”

Basically, Subway®’s “6 grams of fat or less” choices are still pretty healthy compared to most other fast food restaurants, but don’t automatically assume that all their sandwiches are “diet foods”.
