Eat This, Not That: Subway Pin on Pinterest

Subway restaurants cater to almost everyone. There are so many ingredients that you can mix and match to make your perfect sandwich. And, of course, they do have special sandwiches to choose from. They also have salads, soups, breakfast options, and a new pizza type dish; but today, we’re going to focus on the sandwiches. It’s hard to pick exactly which meats, breads and toppings are best for you.

Eat This

The best (and healthiest) part of Subway’s menu is that there are sandwiches with less than 6 grams of fat. If you’re concocting your own sandwich, the nutrition all depends on what you put on it.
