While Subway touts being healthy (thanks Jared), it can be extremely easy to go wrong (it is, after all, a fast food joint). So, I came up with some helpful guidelines to keep me in check:
1. Get a salad. Avoid the bread since it all seems to be made with enriched flour.
2. Keep in mind that Subway will turn just about any sandwich into a salad (be weary of calories, fat and sodium), which is extremely nice if a new sandwich comes out you are dying to have, which might have happened to me today
3. Have those sandwich artists cram as many veggies as possible into that dang salad, try to get more spinach than iceberg
4. Need cheese? Try to stick with provolone or swiss as they have a little more protein and a little less sodium
5. For more flavor, don't forget you can add dried oregano or salt and paper
6. If I feel the salad is too dry, I'll ask for avocado slices and stay far away from the salad dressings
7. I usually want a soda, which means I usually just make my salad a meal, but I get diet soda (or, better yet, unsweetened iced tea) and a bag of apples instead of the white potato-based chips
