Re: subway sandwich
Unless you're trying to lose weight, there's nothing wrong with a little cheese, I couldn't eat one without it. Double meat is always good too.

Re: subway sandwich
Here's a typical lunch for me:
6" Whole wheat bread double turkey mustard vinegar (I'm pretty sure this is calorie free) All the veggies (lettuce, tomato, green peppers, red onions, black olives, pickles, jalapenos) pepper + oregano I'm on the fence with cheese. Sometimes I'll have it, someitmes I wont. I wouldn't go for any kind of dressing except mustard. It's all loaded with fat or higly processed corn syrup. Light Mayo is just fooling yourself. Even though it's "only" half the fat of regular or whatever, it's still pretty awful. I'd much rather treat myself to the real stuff once a week and stick to the mustard for the rest of the week. If I get the foot-long I divide it over two meals like OP does.

Re: subway sandwich
Idk why your taking out cheese but adding mayo,oil, and ranch which are probably the highest calorie condiments you could put on there.

[ QUOTE ]
What would be the best thing available at Subway for someone who is watching their carbs and would like to lose weight? [/ QUOTE ] If you want a sub, then go for the one I posted. I don't think it gets much better than that without skipping the bread but then it's just a salad and imo you can get better salad elsewhere. The key is getting whole wheat bread and only 6", but doubling the meat (any choice of lean cold-cuts or the grilled chicken). Also, skip all dressings except mustards and vinegar.

Re: subway sandwich
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.

Re: subway sandwich
Wynton,
Check the bottom of the page: "Subs with 6 grams of fat or less include Italian or wheat bread, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, green peppers and olives. All other sandwich values include cheese unless otherwise noted. Salads contain meat/poultry, standard vegetables and do not include salad-dressing or croutons. Addition of other condiments and fixings will alter nutrition values."
