A
menu based on lean protein and vegetables is
always going to score well in our book. With
more than half a dozen kid-friendly sandwiches
under 300 calories, plus a slew of soups and
healthy sides to boot, Subway can satisfy even
the pickiest eater without breaking the caloric
bank. But, despite what Jared may want you to
believe, Subway is not nutritionally infallible:
Those rosy calorie counts posted on the menu
boards include neither cheese nor mayo (add 160
calories per 6-inch sub) and some of the toasted
subs, like the Meatball Marinara, contain hefty
doses of calories, saturated fat, and sodium.SURVIVAL STRATEGY
Cornell researchers have discovered a “health
halo” at Subway, which refers to the tendency to
reward yourself or your kid with chips, cookies,
and large soft drinks because the entrée is
healthy. Avoid the halo and all will be well.
