[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just don't get it. How can there be almost 950 calories in Jimmy John's turkey tom? I got a regular size, with lettuce and tomato, and it comes with mayo. I heard about Subway being a cake due to way too much sugar in the bread, but not that all the others have it. 
Which sandwich shop you recommend that might be a healthier option? I loved eating the turkey tom, but not if I am having almost 1000 calories![/quote]

Actually, a 6 inch size sandwich roll at Subway has between 3-5 grams of sugar, according to the NPR report.  Since sugar has about 3 calories per gram, that means that the sugar in a Subway roll contributes between 9-15 calories to your sandwich.  That hardly makes it "cake."  By way of comparison, the average slice of white bread has about 1.5grams, and whole wheat breads have even more.  So a sandwich you make for yourself could well have as many calories from the bread as the Subway 6 incher roll.  Or maybe even more.  It's really what you fill the sandwich with that counts the most. [/quote]
