Depends on what you order and the condiments you select.

The Melt is my current favorite

 

[Eli]

It's good food for the most part.

LOL!!! so ummm if wheat or white bread is not made from flour what is it made from? flour is ground up wheat isnt it? :roll:

yesterday i was jonsing hard for a subway meatball sub with provolone, spinach, black olives, banana peppers, bell peppers, oil & vinager.

it was Yumm-O

I think the wheat being referred to is this type of wheat bread.

My vote is "Food". My all time fav is the Italian BMT loaded w/everything (including Salt & Pepper, Oil & Vinegar).

i would class them as fast/junk food

i bet even the veggie ones arent as healthy as you would like to think.

you gotta look at fats, sugars, salts, preservatives etc

Fast? yes, only because of the way it's served.
Junk? Hardly

So their lettuce, tomatos, carrots, spinach, pickles, peppers and red onions are all junk food?

Let me ask another question:

If you, or I, made a sandwich at home that included these items would you consider it a junk food:

wheat bread
mayo
8 oz turkey
lettuce
tomatos
pickles
spinach

fat itself doesn't make it a junk food, otherwise steak, nuts and some fish would be junk food. Sugar itself doesn't make it a fast food, otherwise fruits would be junk food. And Salt wouldn't make it junk food, otherwise practically every food we eat would be junk.

C'mon guys some of your definitions of junk foods are very broad.

The food is ok, but their marketing is two-faced. They advertise about fresh and healthy, but once you are in line they try to upsell you by adding junk food, which makes it a 'MEAL.'

Every business tries to upsell. There isnt much profit in the sandwiches alone. Alone, they dont even cover the full expenses. Also, its not like anyone is forcing you to take a "MEAL" (you can always say no).

Their side options are better than your normal french fries:
Applies
Yogurt
Raisins
Chips - Baked & low fat varieties available
Cookies - not healthy but delicious

and with Soda...name one restaurant (fast food or sit-down) where Soda is not offered ? You can always have some water (or milk)

junk food to me is more like chips, dough nuts, fast food, and just about anything you can think of thats deep fried. subway, mmmm...nah not junk food. if you get the healthy subs, its ok for you.

 

[jlee]

Doesn't seem that bad to me at all, given how much they fill you up.

..eh? I'm not particularly impressed with the 'fillingness' of Subway sandwiches..I have cheaper/better alternatives, though.

 

[0roo0roo]

depends on the meat. baloney type stuff aka hotdog meat aka organ meat = high fat /high cholesterol
drink water or diet soda...soda or whatever high fructose laced stuff kills any healthy bit.
sun chips aren't bad.

no fried stuff and the bad carcinogens that come from high temp frying...so yea its not bad.

 

[potato28]

Healthier than McDonald's, but you need to order the right things to make it a healthy choice.

 

[0roo0roo]

cheaper yea, better, no. vietnamese sandwiches are cheap. i bet they are rather fatty though. the meats tend to be fattier, and theres the sauce.

 

[SinfulWeeper]

Mmmmm 1' roasted chicken breast with provolone, swiss, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, tons of jalapeños, sweet mustard onion sauce, a bag of chips (cheetos), a cookie (chocolate chip), and a XL Dr. Pepper. Nope, subway is not junk food. Men can grow hair on their chests and teh women will be bending over in their highly exposing shirts showing their cleavage.
Course you can goto teh bar and get even a bigger show for a dollar and eat a tostino's pizza before you go

 

[jfall]

The sub I order is far from healthy!

[TheSlamma]

Depends on what you get, if it has a pork product it's trash.

 

[Auric]

All their meat is processed and trashy but I suppose still better than the usual offal burger. I haven't had any for years though and just get veggie with the processed cheese (natch!) on whole wheat and sans dressing if taking it home and then put my own dijon on it (optionally toasting too).

I bet a killing could be made by shadowing Subway franchises with mini stores that specialize in real sliced roast beast and turkey and such to add to the cheap veggie sammiches. They could also sell reasonably priced beverages and snacky chips. Heck, you could prolly even do well with a full service deli sammich shoppe that basically matched Subway prices with better quality since their real disadvantage is the subpar franchise ingredients with requisite mark-up.

 

[IGBT]

..it's prob.better then the industrial slime sold at mc'd's and the taco dives but I question the hired help and sanitary conditions..motivation to maintain clean conditions in any of the mass marketed food joints.

of course. EVERY place does it.

but what does bother me is they say FRESH. when it is anything but that. the meat is not fresh cut.

 

[CraKaJaX]

We have a subway on campus that accepts the meal plan. It sure as hell beats the cafeteria in the fat department. I usually order a 12 inch BMT with provolone, lettuce, onion, green peppers, olives. :thumbsup:

 

[Kermy]

Healthy if you get the right stuff.

6" Roasted Chicken Breast on Wheat
No cheese
Works but no onions
Sweet Onion sauce <--- my one and only failure when I go into a Subway's
No sides, no soda, only a bottle of water

 

[Canai]

After knowing someone who worked at one, I'll never eat there again. Let's just say they don't take the best care of their food...

 

[Slew Foot]

A few years they had a vegimax sandwich with a veggie burger patty in it. My local Subway at the time thought it would be funny to rename it "vagimax". Needless to say, I never got it.

Junk food is more of what you eat, not where you eat from. Anyone can order a salad at McDonalds, but no one ever does.
