Are you sick and tired of Subway sandwiches yet?

[img:$uid]http://trendsupdates.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/60928-subway_logo.jpg[/img:$uid]

It really is a lot healthier than fast food. But something, Subway can get boring after a while. What's your take on them?

I don't have them too often, but I still like them. At least they have some fresh veggies, but the turkey is pretty bad.

I ate one just today. But yeah, I'm really tired of 'em. Unfortunately, not many places around work where I can get something other than a burger or something else loaded with fat and calories.

Subway is, and always has been, disgusting.

Think somebody should drop a bomb on Subway's corporate office. Those sandwiches are boring and not the most tasty in my opinion. Now "Blimpie"...I love their sandwiches. Even Quiznos is a little more appealing than Subway. Togos is ZZZzzzzz also.

Although I'm your biggest fan...I'm also your biggest critic. Can you deal with that?

Quiznos' turkey swiss ranch sandwiches is better than anything Subway has done.

I actually ate Subway for lunch today. A 6-inch veggie on wheat w/pepper jack, spinach, cucumbers, onions and pickle. And sweet onion sauce.

I eat Subway about once every 3 months or so. So no, I don’t get sick of them.

I like Subway. shrug

I get a roasted chicken with shredded cheddar, on a toasted flatbread, with red onions, tomatos, pickles, and banana peppers. Plus, that sweet onion sauce is amazing.

Me too! I got a sandwich from them on the recommendation of a coworker. Biggest waste of my $5. I ordered a a roast beef, and it was shitful. I haven't been back since, and that was at least 3 years ago. I used to love Subway's Zesty Italian with lots of hot relish, but yeah, I'm sick of Subway now.

Subway Bread has More High Fructose Corn Syrup Than Whole Grains

21 Jun, 2010 @ 05:39 pm BST | Brandi
We hear all the time that we aren't supposed to eat fast food because of all the unhealthy ingredients, fat and calories. So instead, we're told that Subway is the healthy alternative to burgers, nuggets and fries. We've watched for years as Jared Fogle, "the Subway guy," has promoted eating at the sandwich restaurant for weight loss. And the subs are a mainstay in the Biggest Loser diet. So it should be good for us without question, right?

Well, David Zinczenko, author of the Eat This, Not That series, argues otherwise. In a short list on The Truth About Your Food at Yahoo, he lifts the veil on the ingredients label of some of our favorite foods. While there aren't any misconceptions about other foods on the list like Doritos and Skittles, the one surprising inclusion is Subway. Namely their fresh-baked bread.

Setting the Subway 9-grain wheat in his crosshairs, Zinczenko fires at not only the lack of nutritional value, but the very poor ingredients that are used. Most health-conscious consumers probably ask for the 9-grain wheat sub as opposed to the plain-white because of the nutritional value, but his findings reveal you might as well get the white.

While there are nine grains in that bread, eight of them are scarce, as they appear on the ingredient listing under the "contains 2% or less" notice. The most plentiful ingredient in this sub bread is white flour, the kind you should avoid.

More plentiful than any one of the whole grains is high fructose corn syrup, a manufactured sweetener that has been linked closely with the obesity epidemic.

"Essentially this is a white-wheat hybrid with trace amounts of other whole grains like oats, barley, and rye," says Zinczenko of the Subway bread.

In all there are 16 ingredients in this bread (see the label), many of which are the unfamilar, unpronouncable variety like azodiacarbonamide, prohibited in Australia and used for bleaching flour, DATEM, a combo of diacetyle tartaric acid, fatty acid and sugar alcohol, and ammonium sulfate, full of nitrogen and a common fertilizer ingredient. The ammonium sulfate helps grow the bread's yeast. Zinczenko says "What, did you think that dark hue [on the bread] was the result of whole grains? Hardly. It's a combination of the ammonium sulfate and the caramel coloring."


No wonder Jillian Michaels campaigned against Subway's High Fructose Corn Syrup use earlier this year.

While a six-inch sub is still a better choice than most fast-food offerings, it's not the healthy ally we've been lead to believe.

Make a healthy sandwich at home where you can control the ingredients. And as always, the lesson is do your homework and read the food labels before falling for the marketing claims.

I'm a Togo's guy. Never really cared for Subway's bread. I like that they have bell peppers and olives as part of their produce selection. But not enough to eat there regularly.

In the end it's more about moderation. Eat what you want sometimes, but also eat salads, fruits, whole breads at other times. Have mixed eating habits. Enjoy yourself, but watch it. Taste is always the most important part of eating. Good things can taste good.

All you others say Hell Yea!! woot!

The roast beef itself is the one thing that I don't like about Quiznos. Have you ever taken a closer look at it? It's a little too pink for my taste. disbelief
