Is Subway really healthy?

In general, Subway's meals are low in sugar and a decent source of fiber and protein, however, many are also loaded with fat and sodium. Part of Subway's appeal is that you can customize your meal. Take advantage of this option by choosing healthy toppings and nixing the cheese and full-fat condiments.

Subway reminds you to “eat fresh,” but their popular tagline doesn’t exactly tell the entire nutritional story. Subway offers healthy meals, but not everything on their menu is good for you. Read on for a breakdown of Subway’s healthy and not-so-healthy meal choices. Most of Subway’s healthiest items are from their Fresh Fit menu. These items are low in calories an d fat, and high in protein. Most have earned Heart Check Certification status from the American Heart Association (AHA). This means the meal is certified to meet the AHA’s nutritional requirements as a heart-healthy option. According to Subway’s website, they’re the first fast food restaurant to earn Heart Check Certification.

Here are the nutrition facts for some of Subway’s healthiest meals.

Sandwiches

Heart Check Certification only applies to the following sandwiches when they’re made with 9-grain wheat bread, lettuce, tomatoes, green peppers, onions, and cucumbers. Also, note that the sodium amount meets the guidelines only if it is the only thing you eat. If you add chips, this amount will most likely be higher than the allotted amount.

How many inches do you lose every 10 pounds?

Multiple regression tells us that on average, for every 8.5 pounds lost, people dropped an inch off their waist. (And for every 1.5 kilograms lost, people dropped a centimeter off their waist.) Every 10 pounds lost was accompanied by 1.18 inches of waistline reduction.

REDDITORS’ BEFORE AND AFTER MEASUREMENTS ANALYZED

How many pounds do you need to lose in order to reduce your waistline by one inch? How many kilos do you need to lose to reduce your waistline by one centimeter?

We wanted to find out. We were having trouble finding published data (though we are expecting some soon), so we turned to Reddit, where the progresspics subreddit contains people’s before-and-after weight change stories. Most posts contain only pictures, but if you do some web scraping, you can find cases in which people post their before-and-after waist measurements. We found 46 such cases, typed them up, ran them through R, tidyr, dplyr, and ggplot and made the picture above. Multiple regression tells us that on average, for every 8.5 pounds lost, people dropped an inch off their waist. (And for every 1.5 kilograms lost, people dropped a centimeter off their waist.) Every 10 pounds lost was accompanied by 1.18 inches of waistline reduction. (Every 5 kg lost was accompanied by 3.33 cm of waistline reduction.) The picture is a bit rosier for those who were losing smaller amounts (under 55 pounds or 25 kg): They only had to lose 6.1 pounds to lose an inch (or 1.1 kg to lose a centimeter).
