Surprising junk food
Filed under: Places To Go
Quickly: you're stopped at a red light with a crotchety child (or two) You're holiday shopping, desperately wishing you'd just done it online, already. In the back seat there ares snotty noses and wailing voices and it's been three hours since anyone ate anything. I'm hungry, small voices chime, and you grip the wheel. Ahead are a McDonald's, a Burger King, and a Quizno's. Which is the smartest choice for fast food? Quizno's, right?
At least, that's totally what I thought until I read this post over at That's Fit and now I am completely flummoxed. A toasted veggie sub at the sandwich chain contains more fat than I thought was humanly possible in a sandwich - 75 grams of fat and 1200 calories. That's more than I eat most days. Yuck. And that's only the veggie -- imagine what the turkey guacamole must pack on!
I didn't think Quizno's was the pinnacle of nutrition or anything, but I also never realized how damaging a sandwich can be, unless of course you're a Quarter Pounder with Cheese. Then at least everyone knows how gross you are.

Uly said...According to their website, the turkey bacon guacamole is 550 calories with everything, 360 with just the sandwich and no extras. It has 12 grams of fat.

Katie said...Uhm, It's only 28g of fat with cheese and dressing (8 without)
The 70 is calories from fat... so it's still a little high but not that bad!! :) :)

rachel said...Thanks Katie, you're right, go read the info direct from Quiznos, a small veggie, no cheese no dressing has 8g fat, 270 calories, but also 6g fiber and 10g protein. Really- not bad at all for fast food.

Kristin said...OK, apparently there's conflicting info out there. That's Fit quoted this source blog, who took screenshots from the Quizno's site -- at the time, it seems it had different information?

Martha Edwards said...Hey guys,
I wrote the article at That's Fit and I did check it out on the Quiznos site -- the numbers are true if you're talking about a large sub with cheese and dressing. The default is small sub without these add-ons so you have to actually change the size and contents but it is true .... and very, very gross.
