Tips
To lower the calorie content of your Subway, request fat-free or low-fat sauce on the side. Dressings and sauces can increase the calorie total of a sandwich dramatically, and when you request dressing on the side, you can control the amount you consume. Skip the cheese to reduce the calories even further, and avoid drinking high-sugar, high-calorie sodas with your meal.
