Fast Food

You always save the best for last, but while we have your attention you really can’t beat a Subway 6 inch when you are looking for a calorie friendly fast meal.

Choose either a 6 inch sub on wheat bread OR a multigrain wrap.

Fillings:

• You can choose any protein option - the better choice for your health would be to skip the subs with salami, pepperoni and bacon. 
• Add either Mozzarella OR Old English Cheese OR avocado
• Choose one of these sauces:
  • Habanero Hot Sauce
  • Honey Mustard
  • Marinara Sauce
  • Mayonnaise
  • Smoky BBQ sauce
  • Sweet Chilli or Onion sauce
  • Tomato sauce
• You must choose a minimum of 3 different vegetables - bonus points for more. 

Want something that is really tailored to your goals? 

Visit the Subway website where you can create your own sub with your nutritional requirements in mind. Simply select your favourite sub and click “Calculate Yours” under the nutrition information.

Forgot to have breakfast on your way out the door? Going to hit up the drive thru for that morning brew? It could be a good idea to add a bacon and egg muffin to the order if you know that skipping breakfast sends you into scavenger mode later in the day.

Just remember, you don’t always have to choose the lowest calorie option.
