What would be the best thing available at Subway for someone who is watching their carbs and would like to lose weight?

I go for the chicken breast wrap. Their wraps are 8-10 net carbs. Love it.

If I'm forced to go there I usually get a Sweet Onion Chicken. It's listed under the 6 grams of fat or less menu but I put cheese on it (I'm not cutting).

What's so bad about non-wheat bread? I really can't stand the flavor of wheat.

Hey Wolfram,

Do you have any vague idea of the nutritional specifics for that particular sub? I'm perusing the Subway website, which lists some nutritional details, but doesn't account (I believe) for variations.

Subway website is here.

Under six inch double meat turkey breast, the website indicates 330 calories, 50 grams of fat, 48 grams of carbs and 28 grams of protein. But I don't know what that sub is supposed to include.

This stuff doesn't really make sense to me either.

Assuming you mean 5.0 grams of fat, not 50. Still, if you do the 4 calories/gram of carb and protein, and 9 per gram of fat, the caloric estimate is closer to 350.


Also, I don't remember the specifics but a 6 inch turkey breast with wheat, lettuce, mustard is something like ~250 calories. It seems way too low of an estimate. If you look at how much bread you're eating (ie, the weight of the bread) it seems like that in and of itself should be pretty close to 250, before you add in the turkey.

So get double the chicken breast... good advice (don't know how much it will cost but meh i guess)

Also i get just a little oil a little mayo and barely any ranch

i could prolly cut the oil tho and just go a little mayo and a squirt of ranch

okay thanks... i'll go light oil and barely any ranch(even just a little adds a lot of flavor)

i could prolly go extra tomatos and kick the oil actually to avoid dryness... i always thought oil was pretty good for you tho

Just a quick question.

Why double meat?

Because most people eat too many carbs and too little protein.

Would it be better to eat one with the wrap instead of the wheat bread?
