Build a Healthier Sandwich at Subway

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.
