Quiznos Calories: No Wonder They Concealed Them

quiznos.jpg

Fast food outlet Quiznos has finally listed their nutrition information.

A brief look through the data shows some outrageously high Calorie amounts in their food.

Healthy Tuna?
A large Tuna Melt Sub (incl. cheese and dressing) amounts to 2090 Calories (including a whopping 175 grams of fat).

Vegetarian?
A large Veggie sub (incl. cheese and dressing) totals 1220 Calories (including 75 grams of fat).

Salads
The Chicken Caesar salad rates at 1000 Calories (including dressing). The Classic Cobb serves up 1070 Calories (including dressing).

Have a look through the Quiznos site - you will need to look for a small link at the foot of the page that says "Show Nutrition Information".

The lesson here is: there is no way to guess nutrition information at most restaurants. Even the healthiest looking item can be very energy dense.

Look I work at Quiznos. I eat the food there like there's no tomorrow. I can tell you all that there aren't that many calories. If there were, I'd be friggin huge. I've been working there for 3 years, and I'm still 6'2 and only 170 lbs. I'm sorry, but whoever gathered this information did the math wrong.

Just because you aren't obese doesn't mean that you have a healthy diet. There are plenty of people who are obese and it's not their fault. I also happen to know plenty of friends who eat a lot but don't get fat. Look at professional eaters, they aren't fat but they can pack in a lot. Only part of it is how much you eat, there is what you do, and how you are made affect your 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.

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.

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.

The numbers provided here are for the large size. I'm a pretty big guy and a regular is more than enough food for me.

I can't imagine anyone eating a large, its over 12 inches long!

Stop blaming GOOD fast food places for your inability to not eat a truckload of food.

actually a large sandwich is only 11inches long....a regular is 8 inches and a small is only 5½

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.

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

Just as many people have mentioned before me - just about every eating establishment carries items nowadays that aren't the "best" for your dietary needs. Making smart choices - using common sense more than anything, it seems to be - is the way to go. Every time I go there (maybe once a week or so), I get a small sub with wheat bread, no cheese or mayo, and the caloric total always comes in under 300 (plus, the sandwich always holds me over until dinner time, which is more than I can say for other eating establishments). Not shabby at all.

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
