Subway restaurant is everywhere around America. In fact, Subway is one of the most popular food restaurants in our campus. To avoid greasy, highly fat concentrated fast foods, many students at CSULB turn towards this "healthy" sandwich place. However, not all sandwiches from Subway are low fat meals. Many fail to realize that some sandwiches are actually in the same league as McDonald's Big Mac Sandwich. People must choose carefully or their efforts to eat low calorie meals will be in vain.
Let's take for an example: 6 inch Tuna Sandwich. Many Subway customers pick this sandwich without any hesitation, because they learned from the society that fishes are healthy, low fat meat. This belief would have been true if Subway didn't jam-pack unhealthy mayos with it. 6 Inch Tuna Sandwiches have 530 calories with 31 grams of fat while McDonald's Big Mac sandwich has 540 calories with 29 grams of fat. That's about the same league as Big Mac! In fact, it has more grams of fat than this McDonald's infamous burger. Plus, many people will order 1 foot long sandwich since it is only 5 dollars, therefore, they will eat 1000 calorie with 48 grams of fat sandwich for their meals. Let' take another look at unhealthy Subway Sandwich. 6 Inch Italian BMT, one of the most favorite Subway Sandwiches, has 450 calories with 21 grams of fat. This supposedly healthy sandwich is in same league as McDonald's Big N Tasty Sandwich, which has 460 calories with 23 grams of fat. On top of that, since all foot long sandwiches are five dollars, which i mentioned earlier, many customers will consume 900 calories with 42 grams of fat for their meals. Their efforts to resist fatty meals turns out be in vain.
Subway customers must choose carefully when they order their meals. 6 Inch Chicken Breast Sandwich, which has 310 calories with 21 grams of fat, is an excellent choice for customers who want to eat a healthy, low calorie, sandwich. 6 inch Turkey Breast Sandwich is also a great choice with only 280 calories and 4.5 grams of fat. Choose the right Subway Sandwich and it will be perfectly fine.
