I loved Subway for a long time. I use to go five times a week or more. But recently I've realized the importance of cutting out non-100% whole wheat bread. Why in the world does Subway not offer whole wheat bread? The entire company thrives on its status as the 'healthy' fast food choice. But yet they are missing such an important part.
I wondered how many people were upset about this so I did a google search on 'Whole Wheat Bread Subway'. I found on a few forums, such as Yahoo Answers people asking the question 'Is Subway's bread 100% Whole Wheat?' The answers that were given were 'Yes, if you order the Wheat, its 100% Whole Wheat'. Well, this is wrong. On that particular subject that question was closed, so I couldn't even inform anyone else reading that site, that is not the case. In fact, my friend who worked at subway says that their "wheat" bread is basically their white bread with caramel coloring.
This is why I think Subway isn't offering a whole wheat bread. Why do they need to? Nobody seems to even realize its not whole wheat and Subway isn't informing its customers about how much better 100% whole wheat bread is. Their wheat, by the way, is easily their most popular bread. I can only assume this is because the average customer thinks they are choosing the healthiest bread this way, most likely assuming its whole wheat.
I probablly seem a little overly sensitive about this, but I enjoyed eating subway up to 5 times a week. I've decided to cut out bread that is not 100% whole wheat which means no more Subway. And it seems like such a waste, because otherwise its a great option to get protein, vegetables and a starchy carb all in one easy, tasty package.
I asked my friend who worked at Subway what sub was the most popular at his location. The answer: "Easily Tuna on Wheat". I would guess its another thing people are ordering assuming they are making a healthy decision.
Footlong Tuna Sub on "Wheat"
Calories: 1,060
Fat: 62.0g
Protein: 44g
Carbs: 88g
McDonald's Big Mac
Calories: 540
Fat: 29g
Protein: 25g
Carbs: 45g
And also on my nutrition facts for the tuna remember this is without cheese or sauce. Add cheese it becomes:
Calories: 1,180
Fat: 72.0g
Protein: 52.0g
Carbs: 88.0g
Just a heads up. There are lower fat choices at Subway. Just remember to order off the low fat sub list and leave the cheese off. Still, low fat doesn't mean its good for you, a sandwhich with whole wheat bread would always be better.
