4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

Well Subway, just about the only place you can get healthy fast food, only raised their prices 39%, in comparison with Popeyes and Jimmy Johns, whose prices rose 82% and 62%, respectively.
subway isn't healthy. their bread is loaded with sugar and their meats are loaded with fillers and byproducts.
Their bread is so sugary that in some countries it is by law a pastry.
not everything at subway is healthy, but it's easier to eat healthy at Subway then at other places. For most of the sandwiches, the main contributor to calories is the bread. Just go with the wheat bread or a wrap to cut the calories of a sandwich in half.
While I'll admit it may not be as bad as most fast food, calling it "healthy" is a bit of a stretch. The average 6inch sub has about the same range of calories as a burger from most chains. The meat is still processed and the rest of the nutrients are basically a big mac.
6inch #18 Ultimate BMT from subway has 560 calories, 42gr of fat, 75mg of cholesterol and 1570mg of sodium.
BigMac has 590 calories, 46gr of fat, 85mg of cholesterol and 1050mg of sodium.
I will give you that you can order a salad and if you are being really conscious you can get a more healthy meal. The fact remains the average standard order is pretty equivalent.
It's worth noting that 200 to 250 of those calories are from the bread, and the other 300 are from the 3 different meats and the 2x cheese.
The turkey sandwich, the one I normally get, is a bit better at 310–360 or so, but I probably make up for that difference in mayo. That said, I don't know... is the BMT an average, standard order? .. Um. Commit to memory what bread, meat and cheese (and mayo) typically add to a dish and you can apply that anywhere you go; these are usual suspects and I doubt you can make an Ultimate BMT at home that's much better.
Also, if anyone is not sure why processed meats are bad, the nitrate and nitrite found within can become carcinogenic (cancer) via processes somewhat unique to them (plants have nitrate, but they don't typically form nitroso compounds)—raw meat, even red, is less likely to have this problem, though it is recommended you limit red meat for other reasons.
