How many calories are there in a Subway sandwich?
Here's how to make that next Subway sandwich a damn-sight more healthy.
'Subway is OK if you avoid the sugary dressings and have an open sandwich, because all their buns are high in sugars,' says nutritionist Fiona Kirk. 'Choosing your own fillings makes it possible to get something close to a nutritionally balanced meal. To keep your blood sugar balanced, go for as much green goodness as you can, along with a source of protein such as fish, chicken or turkey. You should also go for the wheat bread, which is lower GI than the honey oat or plain white.'
