Subway Sandwiches


Quote  |  Reply

In the calorie calculator for Subway sandwiches.. does anyone know what all that includes? For example I was searching for the 6" oven roasted chicken breast (my favorite :) but does that include the cheese, (bad... I know, I don't get it on mine but just wondering) vegetables, etc. ?  And won't the type of bread effect the calories quite a bit?? Just wondering if I had to add each ingrident sepertaly or what.  Thanks to anyone that has a little insight into this Smile

You can also go to the Subway website, and they've got more detailed information on their ingredients.  So you can compare what they say with what CC says, to see what combination of ingredients they might have used.

Sorry, can't help other than that.

The default calories assume whole wheat bread, no cheese, no mayo, no sub sauce or other dressing - however, they do assume that you get all the vegetables.

What Clint said.  You can go into the website and they break down the sandwiches.  They have a chart that gives you specific calories for condiments and other ingredients, including the bacon, cheese, etc.  And, it tells you the calories in the different breads, as well.  Just go into the Subway website and click on Menu/Nutrition.  It will give you the calories for each sandwich, and if you scroll to the bottom of the screen, it tells you what condiments they've included in the calorie tally.  If you want to know the calories for the different breads, toppings and condiments, then go back to the top of the screen.  You'll see the words NUTRITION INFORMATION and an American Flag and then the word SANDWICHES with an arrow to the right.  Click on the arrow and choose BREADS and TOPPINGS.  Hope this info is helpful.  Good luck.

aww.. thanks everyone!! <3 Very helpful !

All good info..I can add that CC has a subway item of the cheese slice - which I do always get :) I just add it to my count.

I eat Subway a lot. you have to add everything seperate. Bread, meat, veggies, etc. Checking the Subway site will verify that.

Actually, the Subway sandwiches include the following, as copied and pasted from their website:

Subs with 6 grams of fat or less include 9-Grain Wheat bread, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and green peppers. 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.

SANDWICHES WITH 6 GRAMS OF FAT OR LESS
(made on Italian or 9-Grain Wheat bread):

  • Ham: Sliced ham and standard vegetables.
  • Ham: Sliced black forest ham and standard vegetables.
  • Oven Roasted Chicken Breast: Boneless roasted chicken breast patty and standard vegetables.
  • Roast Beef: Sliced roast beef and standard vegetables.
  • SUBWAY Club®: Sliced turkey breast, roast beef, ham and standard vegetables.
  • Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki: Teriyaki glazed chicken strips, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, green peppers, olives and sweet onion sauce.
  • Turkey Breast: Sliced turkey breast and standard vegetables.
  • Turkey Breast and Ham: Sliced turkey breast and ham and standard vegetables.
  • Veggie Delite®: Standard vegetables.

OTHER SANDWICHES
(made on Italian or 9-Grain Wheat bread):

  • Chicken & Bacon Ranch: Chicken breast strips, melted Monterey cheddar cheese blend, bacon, ranch dressing and standard vegetables.
  • Cold Cut Combo: Turkey bologna, turkey ham, turkey salami, cheese and standard vegetables.
  • Italian BMT®: Genoa salami, pepperoni, ham, cheese and standard vegetables.
  • Meatball Marinara: Hot meatballs in marinara sauce, cheese and standard vegetables.
  • Spicy Italian: Genoa salami, pepperoni, and standard vegetables.
  • Steak and Cheese: Hot steak, grilled onions and peppers, melted cheese and standard vegetables.
  • Tuna: Tuna salad made with mayonnaise, cheese and standard vegetables.
  • SUBWAY Melt®: Sliced turkey breast, ham, bacon, melted cheese and standard vegetables.

What you have to do is add condiments you may want that are NOT listed above. Your turkey breast sandwich does not automatically come with cheese, so you would have to add that.

I hope the additional info is helpful.  I know it can be confusing. 

Subway nutrional links. Meats  Bread/Toppings

Now, compare that to the CC food list. Subway-CC. And you'll see I'm right. Subway and CC aren't even though, +/- 10calories.

ETA: I realized pbear and Clint pretty much said what I linked.

I wasn't talking about the CC data base, bmx.  I was talking about the Subway website.  It appears that the CC data base is not accurate if they don't show the calories as prepared by Subway.  As I have done on other occasions, when I enter a food that doesn't agree with the data base, I would increase (or decrease) the quantity.  whichever I needed to do to add up to the correct calorie count.  Don't know if I said that right.  Did that make sense?  Laughing  I have found other foods where the calories on the product packaging don't match the CC data base, too. I wonder why.

 I think we were both saying the same thing, just differently. As long as the OP gets the point, all is well.

Sorry for the confusion on my part. I agree, a lot of foods on CC don't match up with labeled or listed nutritional info. I think, not sure though, that food products tend to have more of what's listed(calories, sugar, etc.). If they had under the amount, then someone could theoretically sue for not getting what they paid for. Just my opinion, I have no idea if there is any truth to that.

Good points, bmx.  I guess they figure it's better to over estimate than under estimate.  Ha!  Thanks, and have a great evening.
