Quiznos Calories: No Wonder They Concealed Them

FYI. A small quizno’s sub has 1 slice of cheese cut in to half. A med has 3 halves and a large has 4. If you really want to compare them to a SUBWAY sub….who claims they are healthy (even using the misleading slogan “eat fresh”, you would need to realize that SUBWAY quotes nutritionals without cheese and sauce. Not to mention for the same price of a Quizno’s sub, your getting roughly 40% less product, fact. So as with any fast food restaurant….or any food for that matter. It all comes down to portioning. Simply asking for places like SUBWAY or Quizno’s to lighten up on a recipe will save you calories, fat and most importantly…sodium. If you really care what you put in your body you’ll realize that SUBWAY uses prepackaged, processed meats and cheeses…..doesn’t sound fresh to me. Quizno’s on the other hand uses real cheese and fresh sliced meats….cut right in the store. I am an industry professional and believe me, I would much rather feed my family a real product than one made from fillers.

Exactly. When I worked at quiznos and we prepped the tuna for this, we used an ungodly amount of mayo. However, people would still ask for extra mayo all the time. All the other sandwiches are way healthier, relatively.

Blah blah blah. The MSG scare was created by a snobby NYT food critic in the 1970′s who was sick of chefs cheating by adding the additive to foods. No study has ever shown MSG to have overly adverse health effects. And who cares about a little HFCS? Once again, no proof it does all the crap you locavores claim.

Common sense — a regular size turkey sub with no dressing or cheese will be just fine. A tuna salad sub soaked in gobs of mayo is horrible for you. What is anyone saying in this forum that isn’t completely obvious to any idiot with an IQ of 50? Just the typical self-congratulatory, pat-yourself-on-the-back locavore echo chamber at work. We get, you read the talking points from Omnivore’s Dilemma…congratulations.

That’s per serving. I also work at Quiznos, and I have actually taken the time to download and read the nutritional info available on the official Quiznos website. Quiznos is supremely unhealthy as is. Of course you can make changes and leave bacon or cheese or dressing off, but customers rarely do that. The fact is, you’re probably better off getting the Big Mac. Lol…

am new to blogging. I just stumbled upon this great blog. Thanks for your blog

Since switching to organic food a year and a half ago, I haven’t been sick once, have more energy than I have ever had, am gaining muscle at a more rapid rate than I previously thought possible, and have a generally healthy glow to my skin. I am 6’6 180lbs, 23 yrs old. Male (obviously)
Diet:
Morning- organic “granola” made with whole sprouted buckwheat groats and whole sprouted flaxseed (400 calories per serving) mixed with half a cup of whole-fat organic goat’s milk yogurt and 1/4 cup wild frozen blueberries, 1 Tbsp organic ground flaxseed. Cup of organic apple juice and one ‘supergreen’ multivitamin.

Afternoon- fruit, free-range organically fed chicken eggs for omelettes or fried eggs (fried in cultured butter, none of that diabetes-inducing vegetable oil whip garbage). This is when I might cheat and get quiznos or chick-fil-a or or something out of convenience, but avoid anything with mayo or high fructose corn syrup (all of their sauces). organic wheat toast with almond butter

Evening- Organic sausage, fish (in e.v. olive oil), fried chicken breast or thigh (light breading in safflower). wheat couscous, noodles. Fresh organic greens (kale, chard, endive) sauteed in olive oil with plenty of garlic, finish with sea salt, pepper and unfiltered apple cider vinegar. One more of those ‘supergreen’ multivitamins

Post exercise- whey protein, possibly eggs

It’s important to note that the foods you eat affect the physical structure of the cells in your body, just as a toxic food will transfer it’s toxins to your blood stream, which then travel to your brain. The poisoned American diet results in mental cloudiness, low energy levels and the need for caffeine or some other unhealthy ‘upper.’ I know this first-hand, and it’s something you only notice when it’s gone.

You people who count calories and carbs are taking the entirely wrong approach. Eat frequently to keep your metabolism up. Eat high-calorie foods that contain complex carbohydrates, like fruits or sprouted grains. Complex carbohydrates break down slowly and deliver a sustained level of energy, whereas processed foods deliver short bursts and energy-crashes. The more energy your body has, the better it can fight disease, eliminate impurities, metabolize nutrients, and fuel your fat-burning workouts. Avoid excess saturated fat, but gobble up all the unsaturated omega-3s you can (from things like olive oil, flaxseed, fish). Remember that at least 75% of all disease in this country is diet-related.

Im sorry,
but calories aren’t everything. I have friends that work at subway who tell me they unsanitary things that go on behind the seens. First of all, Quizno’s doesn’t feeze any meat other than the chicken, and is cut in store, as compared to all of subways frozen meat, which is also alot older when eaten. I have also been enlightened about one store that simply cuts away moldy meat before serving it to customers. No wonder i feel so sick after eating at subway, even if it supposed to be healthier.

you dont have to get exactly whats on the veggie sandwich…or any sandwich if you dont want to You can leave off the cheese and anything else you want too…

there is no high fructose corn syrup in the dressing. There is only corn syrup…

large is 11inches, regular is 8inches, and small is 6 inches…the kids meals are 3 inches

I agree with you dude…Someone is pulling these peoples legs when it comes to calories..

I work at a quiznos and the tuna we use only has 60 calories and the mayo we use only has 100 calories…so I dont know where the 2090 calories for a large tuna adds in there….

What are the sizes of the small vs the average subs please? I understand the large is 12 inches, so is the average 6 in and small 3 in?

Thanks in advance

there is so many calories on them thats gross along with how much fat there is.
ewww

even more startling to me is the ingredients in their subs.

their vinaigrette is pure high fructose corn syrup. it’s not easy to find the ingredients on their ranch and other dressing, but I’m guessing they have HFCS in them too.

many of their subs and sandwiches contain MSG. their bacon has MSG in it, as apparently does the chicken used in some of the sandwiches (and the chicken caesar salad). and the prime rib sub has MSG in it

nasty

This is what is wrong with America these days. Everyone wants cheap food, not quality. Because of this our whole food system is messed up. Just look at any beverage, or food item in your house and you’ll find high fructose corn syrup in the ingredients because its the cheapest sweetener companies can use. While it regular intakes of corn syrup isn’t bad for you, new research shows an association with obesity and diabetes from taking in too much, which is hard not to do since it’s used in everything. This was all caused because the American people wanted quantity, and not quality. So maybe you should consider the quality of meat along with the calories your eating. You pay for what you get, and Subways meat is NOT quality.

Subway (by far) by the way were selected on a recent BBC Watchdog special as one of the worst meat shops you could buy your meals from.
I saw the actual programme.
Others saw it too: http://www.glory-glory.co.uk/forums/thread/509255.aspx

How they can to this conclusion was that they went around the shops and tested at random, their meats.
It was found that their meats were of the compact variety.
What this means is that the meat they supply you in your rolls, etc is taken from an animal – fair enough – but instead of using select sections as is normally done in supermarkets were they say what part of the animal you are getting, Subway, etc use every part of the animal including the brain, the penis and the rump (backside).
They then get all those parts and chop them all up/mince them all together, then squash it down again into a flat shape again and form in into a roll to be later sliced at the shop.
The report also found that the animals that are used are “bloated” animals.
This means that rather than using animals that have been feed by natural process and feeds, the animals are given before they are killed, more quantities of water as part of their intake so that their body will be un-naturally bloated to make them fill out and appear to have higher meat content.
In actual fact, the meat your then eventually get is of lower grade, have higher water content and not considered a natural product that your eating, taking into account the amount of “filler” added during the slice and dicing process.

To be realistic eating at any sub place you have to expect a lot of calories considering you are eating a half to a full loaf of bread.

I used to eat organic everything for about two years and gained twenty pounds. Now I eat fast food but only regular sized portions and eliminated the mayo and cheese. I have since lost twenty five pounds in two and a half months. It is not organic eating that helps you lose weight; portion control is the key. Organic food is probably healthier, but if you are still eating big portions and calorie dense foods you will gain weight.

ALL THE FOOD WE EAT ANYWAY IS FULL OF TOXINS AND WILL KILL BY CAUSING DISEASES, UNLESS YOU EAT ALL ORGANIC AND USE FILTERED WATER TO DRINK AND BATHE WITH. YOU COULD EAT MORE CALORIES WITH ORGANIC FOOD AND STILL BE HEALTHIER THAN IF YOU EAT OTHER FOOD AND NOT EAT AS MUCH.

HOW MANY CALORIES ARE IN YOUR NEW SAMMIES FLATBREADS?
