Frequently asked questions
How do I make a Subway sub higher in protein?
Order it as a Footlong (it roughly doubles everything, protein included), double the meat, and pick lean proteins like rotisserie-style chicken, chicken strips or sliced turkey. Skip the cheese and mayo-heavy sauces if you want the protein without the extra fat.
Are Subway subs good for protein?
Yes. A 6-Inch on a lean meat lands around 20-35 g of protein, and a Footlong doubles that. Because the bread and salad are a fixed base, the protein you choose drives the total.
