Before deciding what to do, you need to take a look at the actual ingredients of the ingredients.
Let's compare Subway's meat to a Quarter Pounder patty.
Patty: Beef.
And at Subway, you can choose one of these wonderful "low fat" ingredients. Let's say you want the "Oven roasted chicken"
Boneless, skinless, oven roasted chicken with rib meat, water, soy protein concentrate, salt, modified food starch, chicken flavor (contains salt, autolyzed yeast extract, sugar, molasses, disodium inosinate, disodium guanylate, sodium phosphates), sodium phosphates
Mmmmmmm,Chicken flavor! That's my favourite part of a chicken! The flavor!
Or let's say you want to go with the classic turkey breast. That's low fat after all! It has to be good for you!
Turkey breast, turkey broth, carrageenan, dextrose, modified food starch (derived from corn), salt, seasoned salt (salt, sodium diacetate, flavoring), sodium lactate, sodium phosphate. * Browned in soybean oil. May contain: seasonings (modified corn starch, dextrose, salt, carrageenan, sodium diacetate, flavorings), potassium lactate.
I guess turkey breast itself isn't good until you add thickeners and corn starch...
Let's set you want to live on the edge a bit, and order some black forest ham:
Ham cured with: water, dextrose, salt, potassium lactate, modified food starch (derived from corn), sodium phosphates, sodium diacetate, sodium erythorbate, smoke flavoring, sodium nitrite. May contain: seasoning [potassium chloride, pork stock, sugar, yeast extract, salt, lactic acid, fructose, sunflower oil, cysteine HCL, calcium lactate, modified food starch, flavors, grill flavor (from sunflower oil), polysorbate 80, rendered pork fat, and smoke flavor].
Grill flavor! I like grill flavor too!
The mayo actually isn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. They use soybean oil of course, but making mayo with good oil is very difficult. I have made my own mayo with light olive oil, it works but is a pain in the ass to make an emulsification.
Subway's mayo uses real ingredients that you can actually pronounce:
Soybean oil, water, eggs, egg yolks, vinegar, salt, mustard flour, lemon juice concentrate, dried onions, dried garlic, calcium disodium EDTA (to protect flavor), paprika, natural flavor
But remember, mayo is BAD for you! Because it is high in fat! So let's get the FAT FREE HONEY MUSTARD instead. Because it is HEALTHY!
High fructose corn syrup, water, Dijon mustard, prepared mustard, distilled vinegar, honey, modified food starch, cider vinegar, lemon juice concentrate, salt, phosphoric acid, artificial color (Titanium Dioxide), xanthan gum, dehydrated onion, sodium benzoate, and potassium sorbate (as preservatives), egg yolks, dehydrated garlic, artificial caramel
Ah that's much better! High fructose corn syrup should ALWAYS be the number one ingredient in anything we eat! Followed of course by some corn starch and xanthan gum. Yum! And fat free!
Their cheese is actually all decent too. milk, cultures, enzymes. OH BUT IT'S HIGH IN FAT! Let's have some FAT FREE sweet onion sauce instead!
Sugar, water, corn vinegar, corn starch, food starch-modified, spices, salt, toasted onion, dehydrated onion, poppy seeds, onion juice, sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate (as preservatives), dehydrated red bell pepper, caramel color, cucumber juice, calcium disodium EDTA added to protect flavor, celery seed.
Ah, sugar AND corn starch! That's much better.
And to top it all off, it's all cradled in a huge bun with over 50g of carbs for a 6". Be sure to avoid all that mayo and cheese! Even though those are the only two ingredients at subway that consist of real food, they will make you fat!!!
EAT FRESH~!
