What Bread do I eat at Subway?
I had every one of these single breads in my sandwiches, and they had not disappointed me (till now). I am not someone who measures every nutrient (accept protein) or calories (accept Subway meals) for my meal, so I usually prefer the Italian Herbs & Cheese Bread (which have 250 calories) for my sandwiches, which has 10 grams of protein.
I think you got it, why I usually prefer this bread? Yes, because of the protein. As coming from an Indian origin and as a vegetarian, I was always protein-deficient, as Indian diets mostly have carbs, like a lot of carbs. This Italian bread also has around 42 grams of carbs, but for me, it is ok, as I can tolerate much more than this.
As of now, I am trying to be more focused on protein rather than any other nutrient as I take my pills and daily salads, and I don’t have any deficiencies to care for aside from protein.
Does Subway have gluten-free breads?
This is the question many people have in their minds: whether Subway has any gluten-free bread options? The answer is yes, they have gluten-free breads that are prepared in a gluten-free environment, but the problem is about cross-contamination.
They may have gluten-free breads, but they do not guarantee about this as they use the same or shared equipment to prepare your order that has contact with gluten items, so there are chances of cross-contamination. You can check out this guide by Bex to clarify all your queries.
