Quiznos Calories: No Wonder They Concealed Them

Okay, really, how do you stuff so many calories into a single sandwich? Unless somehow the vegetarian one really means cheese, dressing, and a few vegetables thrown on for looks, I really don't get it. It doesn't even sound appetizing.

ugh, that's exactly what vegetarian means. i've only eaten at quiznos once, because the 'veggie' sandwich was full of oily dressing and greasy cheese. i'm not surprised by the nutritionals.

i eat at quiznos every saturday. there are ways to lighten up the subs and the #1 factor is all that cheese. when i ask for a small veggie sub, i do not get guacamole, that reduces the calorie count a lot. i also ask for just one or two slices of cheese as opposed to the 4 pieces they put on a SMALL sub. i also ask for wheat bread and i do not get the dressing on the sub, i get it on the side. if you can reduce calories by eating the right way at mcdonalds, it is more than feesable at a place like quiznos :)

Well, yes, diet-blog, if you only examine the maximum number of calories for a large sandwich, then it's going to be a lot. A large Quiznos sub should feed two comfortably. I've been to Quizno's manny times, and I've never heard of "dressing" on a Italian sub.

A small veggie without cheese is a respectable (as in, you'll respect yourself) 270 calories without cheese, 370 with.

Though that tuna melt sub looks deadly even in small proportions (they must load their tuna salad with fat-heavy mayo), remember that you wouldn't add extra cheese to it: a tuna melt starts with a slice of cheddar.

time to go to subway.

It's much like subway though- if you choose the 12 inch at subway and load it with cheese, a bunch of meat, and calorie loaded condiments like mayo, the health value goes out the door. You can make healthy choices no matter where you go, including Quiznos if you order a smaller portion and be selective about what goes on it.

The large subs at Quiznos are HUGE! Half of one of those babies is already a big sandwich, so it's not exactly surprising. They do load up their subs as a matter of course, but you can ask them not to. Anyone who assumes that a sub is automatically a healthier meal option is deluding themselves, especially if they're eating a giant sub loaded with meat and cheese.

I agree with a lot of the comments here. You can easily get your hands on a 1500 calorie sub at Subway, just like you can get a

I think the great part here is since they've now published the nutritional information, you can make an educated choice.

One word: mayonnaise.

Be sure to view Quiznos website. I did and the truth is a little stretched here. This is my first time on this website and the first article I read seems false, I don't know if I will come back.

How is that even possible. Do they sit in a room and say "gee guys we really could stuff an extra 1000 calories in every item. We we try hard enough." wtf is up with those crazy calorie amounts.

I've never eaten at Quizno's, but I'm sure it's the same as any other sandwich: you add calories by adding stuff like cheese, mayo, guacamole, dressings, oil, etc. You can almost always get any fast food sandwich made healthier by skipping all the cheese, getting mustard instead of mayo, asking for your salad without dressing (and then either use your own lowfat variety or put the dressing on the side and just use a little bit), etc.

As a lot of the other comments say, this article is really misleading. The large is more than any sensible person could eat in one sitting, and any more the medium is too large as well, for me. I've been disappointed in this blog before for giving misleading information and this is no exception.

For those expressing disbelief at the calorie count, it's because only the large values are listed here, and the large subs are truly enormous - 16 inches? That much bread, oil, and cheese are of course going to lead to higher calorie counts. But I'm very pleasantly surprised by the calorie counts on the small/regular subs.

The large sandwiches can feed 2 people. They are a lot bigger than any subway sandwich. I refuse to eat at subway and quiznos anyway, too much sodium. You people are on a diet blog and eat subway? You must all be puffy from the sodium.

Not all of us do, but we are still allowed to be shocked at the calorie count. Even with them being optional, it's still unbelievable that these are considered options.
