How to make a healthy and yummy sandwich? We ask the sandwich experts at Subway, and this is what they have to advise:
2. BREAD: Whole grain or whole wheat bread are healthier options as they are packed with nutrients and fiber
Go for the grains. Whole grains are packed with fiber and nutrients and are associated with weight control.
Choose breads that list whole grains as their first ingredient, like whole wheat bread.
3. MEAT: Find high-quality lean protein and control your serving of meat
Choose healthier sources of protein that don’t burden your sandwich with excess fat and calories, such as Turkey, sliced chicken or sliced roast beef. Keep in mind portion control--a serving of meat should be about the size of a deck of playing cards.

5. VEGGIES: There should be more veggies than meat in your sandwich
Feel good with fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables are rich in disease-fighting nutrients, are
cholesterol-free and are naturally lower in calories, fat and sodium. Include at least two to three fruit or vegetable
servings with every meal. For optimal nutrition make sure to select a variety of fruits and vegetables.
6. DRESSING: Go light and choose low-calorie dressing mustard, olive oil, or sweet onion sauce
