Subway diet report

post #1 of 16
Thread Starter 
I started my new Subway diet. 12" chicken salad
w/ provolone lettuce, tomato and pickles on whole wheat. Also three M&M cookies and a large
lime-flavored iced tea.

We'll see how it goes.

Re: Subway diet report

In the United States, the number of cases of cancer is expected to double by the year 2050
(Sullivan,KM, Duke University in Hem/Onc Today, Aug. 2003). Currently, 90,000 cancer deaths per year
are attributed to the combination of overweight and obesity, independent of other causes (Callee, EE
et al New Engl J Med 348:1623,2003). Won't go into heart disease, stroke, diabetes, etc.

I used to get upset when I saw people smoking and overeating. Then I got smart.

Now I just think: "Ahh, ....new business."

Just like Garrison Keillor, I've decided to become a nouveau Republican.

To Atkins-ize this, I think all you have to do is throw away the bun. And the cookies, of course. Do
they even sell M&M cookies at Subway?

Pretty close: 900 = 2x450 six-inch chicken salad 480 = 3x160 cookie 360 = 4x90 lime tea 1740 total

Sorry Jared, I fell off the Subway wagon today.

Breakfast was grapes. Not sour, just seedless.

Our tomatoes were ripe, so I had tomato sandwiches on pumpernickel, a small bag of carrots, chunky
applesauce and zucchini cake. And more lime tea.

Dinner was tilapia fish, butter noodles and corn on the cob. And a dark chocolate Klondike.

Re: Subway diet report

I like their tuna sandwiches, but I get a 4" round, not a foot-long. No chips or cookies, no cheese,
no mayo...

I wouldn't put one up against the Iron Chefs, but yes, Subway's subs (hoagies, grinders, torpedoes,
whatever) are pretty good compared to a lot of fast food. Their main problem seems to be getting
decent lettuce and tomato. A lot of store-bought tomato is tasteless.

Around here, Sheetz convenience stores make a pretty good sub, too. I used to bring my stepdaughter
for a Sheetz tuna sandwich after every swim team practice.

Re: Subway diet report

If people spent the same amount of energy on anything else that they spend on evaluating what other
people eat, imagine the problems that could be solved.

Some small people have high metabolisms and eat a lot. Some large people eat very little. When you
see someone eating, you don't know what they had for their last meal, or what they have been eating
for the rest of their lives..

Also, a smaller BMI is considered obese for Asian people, so it is a good thing that the Japanese
are not eating 12" subs.

How do they integrate that into their turkey-sandwitch-diet marketing campaign?

Other than a few sandwiches, they offer many items that aren't low-anything, like potato chips,
meatball subs, etc.

>>>>
Subway's 7 sandwiches with 6 grams of fat or less have a calorie range of 230-370 and have as little
as 3 grams of fat. Choosing one of these subs can save 140-340 calories and at least 24 grams of fat
in just one meal.

*Individuals lost weight by exercising and eating a balanced, reduced-calorie diet that included
SUBWAY® sandwiches with 6 grams of fat or less. Their results are not typical. Your loss if any will
vary. SUBWAY® Restaurants' does not endorse the diet Jared created and cautions anyone embarking on
a weight-loss plan to consult their physician. Vegetable servings based on guidelines set forth by
The National Cancer Institute.
