[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]To me, the thing that makes a Potbelly sandwich unhealthy, even if you skip stuff like cheese and mayo, is the portions. The turkey sandwich I make at home will simply be smaller, so it'll be a lot fewer calories, carbs, etc. The Potbelly sandwich will be significantly larger but odds are I'll finish it anyway, so I'll end up eating a lot more than I really need.[/quote]

I mean, the calorie count for an original turkey breast is 440 calories, and a skinny TKY is 300 calories.  That doesn't sound like an obscene number of calories to ingest for one meal.[/quote]

If that's truly the only thing you (no chips, no caloric beverage, etc.), it's fine for an occasional lunch out. The problem is that when people go there regularly (a few times a week every week), eventually that gets old. And they throw bacon and mayo on their original turkey. Or they get some chips to go with it. Or they get the roast beef instead of turkey. And the next thing you know, they're eating 600-700+ calorie at lunch every day, which is excessive.[/quote]
