Beware of Subway Healthy Menu

Let me make this clear, Subway is still a lot better option than other places, but it is not perfect.

By now, we all know about Jared and his amazing weight loss. You the man Jared! It is quite impressive he has kept it off.
As well, Subway brags about their "less than 6 grams of fat" menu. Which gives us all the allusion that if we pick something from that menu, we are making a healthy choice.

For one sub, that is definitely not true.

My families favorite sub is the Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki. It is on the "6 grams or less" menu.

It is also on the list of "Most Sugar-Packed" sandwich. Because of the sweet onion sauce, the footlong comes packed with 38 grams of sugar and 740 calories.

That is nearly 10 teaspoons of sugar. As much as a can of pop!

So the moral of the story is this: you need to look at all aspects of health, not just one. Yes it might be on their low fat menu, but with all that sugar, if you have one of those subs daily for a year, you will pack on over 32 lbs!

I don't think Jared got so skinny eating one of those.
