Just doing a bit of research into healthy eating and just did a bit of a search on some of the Subway sandwiches.

 

Now, Subway promote their brand on the fact that they are more of a healthy alternative to say, McDonalds or Burger King. Whilst it may apply to a few of their sandwiches, a lot actually contain MORE calories than a Big Mac meal!

 

I love the Meatball Marinara for instance, sure, I knew it wasn't a healthy option but had no idea that a foot long one contained nearly 1000 calories! That's insane! It's not the most unhealthy sandwich though, that crown goes to the Chicken and bacon sandwich with a whopping 640 calories! That's over 1200 calories in a foot-long sandwich.

 

On a slightly different note, supermarket pizzas are always advertised as a 1/2 pizza portion? It's quite deceptive as it's always in small print "This contains 380 calories per half pizza" No other food I've noticed has this. It's always listed as either per portion and 100g values.

 

I try to eat healthy, fish a few times a week, steamed vegetables and some light sauce. I don't eat fried food, smoke and I very rarely drink.

 

Not always been like this, I've spent many years over eating and not eating the right things as well as not doing the exercise. I used to exercise a lot, but spent a few years of being a lazy bugger. Luckily, I have a fast metabolism and have remained reasonably lean and haven't really increased in size that much although have noticed some differences. Approaching 30, I thought I'd nip it in the bud and dispense with all the junk. I have been doing LOTS of excersie lately and enjoy it!

That Jared bloke in the US who lost all the weight just eating subs only every ate the turkey without any sauce etc. Must be true I saw it on South Park!
