Jared from Subway paved the way for me. He inspired me when I was younger. Unfortunately, it wasn’t until many years later that I took real action and saw real results. For years in my youth, I tried being healthy with eating salads for a week or basically starving myself for a short amount of time until I realize I can’t sustain something like that. Those aren’t healthy solutions anyway.
Once I was more educated in nutrition, that’s when things started working out for me. So I’d have something like half a Subway footlong for some meals, mainly Subway Clubs, and that helped put me in the right direction.
Subway also reminds me of going to Yankee games. When I was in college, I had partial season ticket seats with all the Bleacher Creatures. As some of you may know, you’re allowed to bring in some food as long as they were placed in a clear plastic bag that security can easily check out. I always found that weird, as it’s still fairly easy to hide things in that clear plastic bag.
So I’d always bring a footlong Subway Club with me. After a little pregaming in the parking lot, nothing tasted better once I was in the stands.
There are just so many reasons I had to add Subway to my Fun Food section on FitFastFoodie.
Now what about eating healthy and binging on Subway? Either way, I keep it simple with some form of the Subway Club.
For eating healthy, I get a Subway Club salad. I’m telling you…it’s delicious! It’s one of the fast food meals I resorted to during the Paleo challenge I had at my gym. I would always get double meat with my order to hit my protein requirements.
Writing about that salad right now is making me really hungry, but my next meal isn’t until after my workout lol.
As for the binge, it’s nothing too crazy. I stick with the Subway Club Sandwich with pretty much everything on it aside from mayo. This footlong has always been a favorite of mine for some reason, and I never seem to get any other sandwich from this place. And by the way, I always get the Italian herbs and cheese bread. The combo I get for this sandwich has stayed the same for the longest I can remember.
It helps if you can find one of those awesome Subway coupons. Sometimes you can get HUGE discounts on footlongs, so it’s worth digging up these coupons if you’re really on a budget.
