In this blog, I'm going to write about the misunderstanding that Subway is having healthy food and McDonald's is having unhealthy food. In Subway, they have both the highest and lowest fat and calorie sandwiches in the fast-food industry. The six inch veggie delight has 230 calories and two and a half grams of fat, while the six inch meatball marinara with cheese sub has 580 calories and 23 grams of fat, (Subway). An option with the meatball sub is double meat and double cheese which adds another 900 calories, (Diet Success). The meatball marinara sub is also the leader in Trans fat, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, and sugars. The sub contains one gram of Trans fat, 70 grams of carbohydrates, nine grams of dietary fiber, and 16 grams of sugar, (Subway). The overall sandwich is loaded with calories but there are also numerous individual items on the menu that can add a lot of calories to any sandwich. According to Finance and Fat, the highest calorie breads at Subway are “Honey Oat and Italian Herbs and Cheeses at 250 calories per six inch sub.” Also, the cheese that contains the most calories is cheddar, which has 60 calories per 2 triangles. Even though subway advertises itself as being a healthy alternative, what is eaten has to be watched because just as many calories can be consumed in a six inch “healthy” sub as a Big Mac from McDonalds.
As we see, there are a lot of unhealthy fast foods in America. Even people eat only one; they can take almost all of the calories they need for a whole day. Also, those foods contain lots of fats and sodium which are not good for people’s health. However, Subway also has some meals with high calories. Even though it is not high as the least healthy meal in America, it is high enough for a one meal. So, if you chose Subway as a meal, I would like to recommend you to try real healthy meal, which has lower calories than others.
