Check Out How Your Favorite "Healthy" Fast Food Options Fare: Subway, I Thought We Were Friends?

This just in...Subway's Fresh Fit 6” Turkey Breast Sub failed the test, a recent report by the Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) claims.

Oh no! This is my go-to choice of eating establishment in our small little town's vast array of fast-food options and extremely limiting healthy choices. At Subway, if you add mayo (or any of their dressings, except little ol' oil and vinegar) and fattening cheese, their sandwiches score low.

I always get the Veggie Delight, and word on the block is that Subway on Claremont packs the most veggies in their sandwich. We love the Claremont Subway!!! When we frequent other Subways in town (believe it or not, there are three), I practically have to BEG for extra veggies. every. time.

Actually, to be truthful, my family has avoided this location because one particular member of the family doesn't like its cramped quarters. Go figure: said family member is from NYC, so I was pretty shocked when this information was released. I guess this person has had his fill of small, cramped spaces.

Here we come Big Sky Country!

Back to the topic at hand: Subway and its Sandwich Artists:

The mindset just isn't there: if you take meat and cheese out of your diet, you have to fill up on veggies -- so don't skimp on the veggies Sandwich Artists! You don't want to mess with a hungry plant-eating crazy lady!

However, my new friend at Subway on Claremont got it right away. Let's just say if you go in the evenings, you're more likely to get a real Veggie Delight sandwich that will fill you up.

So, check out the news report and find out how your favorite fast-food meal fares.Will you be surprised to see McDonald's on the list? Um, that was a joke.

It's circle time, so please share: What's your favorite healthy fast food meal? Is it really healthy?

And don't hate on my endorsement of Subway on Claremont. Good food establishments in Ashland are few and far between. The good ones deserve the ink.
