Subway might not be “healthy” fast food, UCLA study finds

http://blogs.denverpost.com/health/...t-be-healthy-fast-food-ucla-study-finds/3235/

If you think you’re eating healthy just because you choose a sub sandwich instead of a burger and fries, not so fast.

New UCLA research finds that Subway, which bills itself as the healthy fast food restaurant, isn’t much healthier than McDonald’s.

The study published in the Journal of Adolescent Health found that adolescents who purchased Subway meals consumed nearly as many calories as they did at McDonald’s.

“Every day, millions of people eat at McDonald’s and Subway, the two largest fast food chains in the world,” said Dr. Lenard Lesser, who led the research. “With childhood obesity at record levels, we need to know the health impact of kids’ choices at restaurants.” He recommends McDonald’s customers skip the soda and fries, and that Subway eaters ask for less meat and double the veggies.

The researchers recruited 97 adolescents ages 12 to 21 to buy meals at McDonald’s and Subway restaurants at a shopping mall in Carson, Calif. The adolescents paid for the meals with their own money, and researchers used their receipts to analyze what each person ate and how many calories.

At McDonald’s, study partipants ordered an average of 1,038 calories. At Subway, the average was 955 calories.

“We found that there was no statistically significant difference between the two restaurants, and that participants ate too many calories at both,” said Lesser, who is now at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation Research Institute.

The Institute of Medicine recommends that school lunches not exceed 850 calories.

The study also found sandwiches purchased at Subway contained an average of 784 calories compared with 572 calories at McDonald’s. And the calorie count for side items at McDonald’s averaged 201 calories, compared with 35 calories at Subway

I'm guilty of once thinking subway was healthy food because it's a sandwich instead of a burger. Just another victim of marketing.
By the time you get a foot long on any other bread besides the basic wheat, add cheese and whatever dressing you still eating bad, if not worse because thinking You're eating healthy will make you think it's okay to increase your portions.

Subway being healthy was a marketing tool that capitalized of people who don't read ****

I like how this thread is about 2 different topics.

There are some healthy options (calorie wise) but yeah, I know a bunch of people who get items like the footlong meatball sandwich while talking about how they're on a diet

Subway is trash, I haven’t had that stuff in years.

I don’t know if it’s changed since I last had it, but they would be stingy as hell with their napkins too.

But if you have any type of deli or even a grocery store with a deli in it by you, I don’t know how you could settle for that junk unless you’re broke and needed a struggle meal.

They had a good run off that. The average American consumer either has crappy reading comprehension skills or selective reading and only takes in what they want to hear.

They see 6 grams of fat on the commercial and their cheeseburger **** *** is pouring on ranch, chipotle mayo, extra bacon and all the fixings while thinking they’re eating healthy lol.

Quiznos is fairly decent. Especially the cheesesteak sandwich I get is made with real protein.

Yeah they had a good run. So much so that out of all the fast food spots. They never really expanded their menu like that. Kinda hurt them.

So the terrible acting doesn’t stop at the show..

Subway isn't even cheap enough to say #BrokeBoys eat it.

You can walk out spending $10+ easily

I eff with veggie subs from subway. I stopped eating animal carcasses 12 years ago tho. If JM was face timing his manager through messenger the app records all the video and pretty sure all other avenues terms of service say the same thing. That's why I dont have any because I refuse to allow that ****.

Just reminded me of when I went to go see **** there was a dude in front of me going to see DBZ with a entire Olive Garden meal to go They was tryna give him a hard time at first. He kept complaining bout how he called ahead to see if it was okay. The girl got tired and just let him in.

 

[sfc415]

Olive Garden

A family friend gave me $50 gift card for that dump on my birthday; I honestly would've rather received nothing

I gave it to my parents, who then gave it to my sister, who then gave it to one of her friends. No one wanted that @#$$

From what I’ve heard. Subway is the cheapest of all fast food places to open up a franchise which is why you see so many of them. It doesn’t cost as much to buy your own subway so those things end up popping up all over the place.

Don't say this bro I can't take much more weird.

Stopped eating Subway last year. Tried Jersey Mike's for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Good, but damn, $11 for a combo meal.

Yeah I like Jersey Mike's, but walked out with just one sandwich one day, nothing else. looked at the receipt and it was 10 bucks, had to stop and think about that for a moment.

I signed up for their email club a while back because they usually send a bunch of coupons and you get a free sammich and drink coupon on your birthday that doesn’t expire for a year. One year I thought they forgot to send me the birthday deal because they normally sent it a week before my birthday. I ended up getting birthday deals sent to both emails a few days later so I messed around and made a few more accounts, so I get free sammichs from them about 6 times a year now lmao.

Your definitely right about that, me and a few friends talked about opening a franchise like Dunkin’ Donuts or subway...but them ideas and plans never came to fruition cause its to competitive in nyc.
