Subway meals can be UNHEALTHIER than those from McDonald's.

Subway meals contain nearly as many calories and more salt than those from McDonald’s, according to new research.

The chain may promote itself as the ‘healthy’ fast food restaurant but the new study suggests that it is not much healthier than McDonald’s, and in terms of salt it is worse.

Researchers from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) found that teenagers who bought Subway meals in America consumed nearly as many calories as those who bought a meal from McDonald’s.

‘We found that there was no statistically significant difference between the two restaurants, and that participants ate too many calories at both,’ said Dr Lesser.

‘The nutrient profile at Subway was slightly healthier, but the food still contained three times the amount of salt that the Institute of Medicine recommends,’ Dr Lesser said.

The authors suggested that the higher sodium content of the Subway meals likely came from the restaurant's processed meat.

The salt intake from the Subway meal is probably highly skewed if they count having a bag of chips as a part of it. Each bag has at least a whole gram of salt in it :|

I like Quiznos better than subway and Burger King better than McDonalds.

Not a huge surprise. I'll still get my weekly tuna footlong from Subway; just now it'll take up my salt consumption for the whole week. XD

Sub way is whack
I can make way better sandwiches at home with actual fresh ingredients.

Mc Donalds taste like crap on shingle with their tube paste burgers and greasy ass buns
