Subway stands out as a food chain that allows you to enjoy satisfying meals without jeopardizing your weight loss goals. Within the diverse menu at Subway, there are numerous choices that not only leave you feeling satiated but also contribute to slimming down.
@gainsbypat Subway is one of the original GOATs for fat loss #fatloss #healthyfastfood #weightloss original sound – Patrick Wilson
Fitness expert and TikTok creator Patrick Wilson (@gainsbypat), shared his subway order that’s high in protein and suitable for those wanting to lose weight while still eating at Subway.
His go-to fat loss meal is a high-protein footlong sub (or a six-inch sub if you want to save on calories), Italian bread, turkey breast, pepper jack cheese, lettuce, banana peppers, cucumbers, olives, green peppers, onions, pickles, and tomatoes. For more flavor, he suggests to add mustard, oregano, and salt & pepper.
He adds that this order carries about 560 calories and 45 grams of protein.
@nutrition.exercise.rd You can absolutely build a healthy meal at a fast food restaurant. Focus on fiber, color, lean proteins and healthy fats. Let me if you try this! @subway #subway #sandwich #sandwichtiktok #dietitian #nutritioncoach #diettips #dietitiansoftiktok #dieta #nutritionist #nutrittiontips #balancedeating #nondiet #selflove #selfcare #balancedplate #balancedplatemethod #dietitianapproved #nutritionistapproved original sound – Jillian, MS, RD
Another great order you can try at Subway for weight loss is this low-calorie, high-fiber creation from nutrition and exercise dietitian, Jillian (nutrition.exercise.rd).
She opted for the “lowest processed meat” which was the baked chicken strips and whole grain bread for added fiber. Her choice of vegetables were spinach, cucumber, tomato, bell peppers, and onions.
For flavor, she added mozzarella cheese and “light” sauces such as mustard, olive oil, vinegar, and salt & pepper.
She recommends people focus on fiber, color, lean proteins and healthy fats when ordering at fast foods restaurants.
