Now We Know the Secrets of Quizno’s!
Email Page
Finally here! Most national fast food chains offer information about the nutrition of their menus, and recently, Quizno’s has joined them.
Quizno’s is probably the largest fast food chain that did not offer any of this information to their clients. Now we can see the secrets of what they offer, which is especially beneficial for those that are fans of the “sandwich world,” like me, but who want to control calories as well.
Although their main competitor, Subway, doesn’t make the humongous sandwiches that Quizno’s offers, they've had nutrition information available for a while now.
It's scary to see what some Quizno's fans have been eating. For example: the Quizno's Turkey Bacon Guacamole Sub with reduced fat Buttermilk has 4,530 milligrams of sodium when the daily recommendation for adults is 2,400 milligrams per day – that's almost double!. The Quizno's Tuna Melt is the calorie winner: their large one provides 2,000 calories and 170 grams of fat. A man can live on that many calories for a whole day! In the “healthy” department, their large Veggie Sub provides 1,220 calories and 75 grams of fat.
I know I'm definitely going to think twice about what I order at Quizno's next time!
