The Last Thing I Ordered at Subway: A Loaded 6-Inch Turkey Sub with Extra Salad and Honey Mustard

Hey Ryan. Thanks for the question. What do I get at Subway? Well, I've listened to some of the other responses from the nutrition experts and I thought I should share. What I had last time I went to Subway, but I got to tell you it's been a while. It's just not something that I eat very much here in Australia but when I did have it are the last thing I ordered was a 6-inch turkey sub. I loaded it up with extra salads. I have everything except for jalapenos and olives purely, because I just don't like those things. Out of personal preference. But hey, if you do, that's fantastic. They are actually good for you. In terms of bread, I got the honey owed. Now, I don't Focus too much on the bread at Subway. I don't think there's necessarily a better choice over another there, so I would say just go with personal preference and I did put some honey mustard dressing on that just for some extra flavor, which was quite nice. And I had a toasted. So there you have it. That's what an Australian dietitian ordered the last time I went to Subway, I hope you found it interesting. Please let us know if you've got any National questions and I look forward to answering them soon. Bye.

When I go to Subway, I usually order a 6-inch turkey sub. I load it up with extra salads, except for jalapenos and olives because I personally don't like them. For the bread, I don't focus too much on the options and just go with my preference. Last time, I chose the honey oat bread. I added some honey mustard dressing for extra flavor and had it toasted. That's what I ordered the last time I went to Subway. Keep in mind that this is just my personal choice, and there are many other options to explore. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

For family-friendly dinner meals that I routinely use, I prioritize recipes that appeal to everyone's taste buds, are nutritious, and save time. As a busy mom with four in the household, including two toddlers, I need recipes that cater to everyone without requiring separate meals.

One go-to recipe is a vegetarian chili. I often cook it for two nights, serving it on rice the first night and as a burrito-style dish with various sides like cherry tomatoes, corn, cheese, and avocado the second night. This recipe is packed with protein from legumes like chickpeas, kidney beans, and lentils, along with plenty of vegetables. It freezes well too.
