Subway restaurants have become enormously popular. And, why not? Compared to other fast-food alternatives, their food is tasty, convenient, and (for the most part) they use fresh, healthy ingredients. But there’s also a potential downside. The average foot-long Subway sandwich can be a calorie bomb! Most of us, including athletes, don’t need that many calories at one sitting. There’s a smarter, healthier way to eat at Subway.
Tips for Building a Healthier Subway Sandwich:
- Use lean meats. Go with turkey or chicken breast, or even ham or roast beef. Avoid bologna, salami, and pepperoni.
- Double the meat. Boost protein and cut carbs. Instead of a foot-long, opt for a 6-inch with double meat.
- Load up on the veggies. An easy way to add lots of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients.
- Avoid the fat-laden dressings. Try mustard, a little salt and pepper, or oil and vinegar.
- Be smart with your carbs. Choose a whole grain roll, or a wrap.
