Fast food restaurants are not doing business as well as they used to a decade ago. The reason for this is that the food they serve has no nutritional value. This was fine a few years ago, but these days more and more people are becoming health conscious. Obesity rates are through the roof and more and more studies are giving definitive proof of a number of diseases that are connected to and caused by obesity. That’s why fast food chains around the world have had to dramatically change their menus and make their food more nutritious without killing the taste factor. This growing awareness has also led to the proliferation of healthy food chains. One of those restaurants that combines great taste and health is Subway.

Subway is a restaurant chain that serves different types of snacks and sandwiches. These are low in fat and extremely nutritious. At Subway, you have many different types of sandwich fillings to choose from. In fact, you can have sandwiches made to your specifications. This is the USP (Unique Selling Point) of this joint that has made it so popular. When you enter a subway you have to make 4 choices. The first choice refers to the type of sandwich you want. Next, you need to choose the bread you want to make your sandwich with. You can choose from whole grain, wheat, honey oatmeal, and parmesan oregano. Most franchises have their own selections that are usually added to these 4. Each loaf is freshly baked at the franchise itself. Once you have chosen your bread, the meat filling is added. This filler is consistent with the type you ordered. You are then given a choice from a number of different fresh vegetables. Lastly come the sauces. There are several different sauces you can choose from. You can even ask your waiter which sauces are low in calories.

Each sandwich is rich in flavor, yet low in calories. It is one of the best options when it comes to fast food. There are people who have even taken the subway challenge and lost a lot of weight. The menu also has a nutrition chart and calorie breakdown chart so you can make a more informed decision about what you want to eat and how many calories you want to consume.
