How to order healthy at Subway

🍗 Grilled over fried
Choose grilled chicken or lean options instead of crumbed/fried — it can halve the calories.
🥤 Drink water or diet
A regular soft drink or frozen drink can add 600–1,500 kJ on its own. Water or a diet drink is free of calories.
🧀 Hold the extras
Skipping cheese, mayo and creamy sauces shaves hundreds of kilojoules with barely any change to the meal.
🍟 Swap the side
Trade large chips for a small, a side salad or corn — or skip the meal deal and order the main on its own.
🍔 Single, not double
One patty/piece instead of a double, and a regular instead of a large, is the easiest calorie win.
💪 Add protein, not calories
Lean protein keeps you full for longer, so you're less likely to over-order later.

About this project

The mission is simple: help you eat smarter at fast food — make calorie-savvy choices when you're at the counter, and see clearly just how brutal some items really are. That's why we list as many menu items as we can, across Australia's ten biggest chains. Energy is shown in kilojoules (the AU standard, on menu boards by law) and Calories, where Cal = kJ ÷ 4.184, with protein/fat/carb macros and a protein-per-1,000 kJ efficiency view.

Figures come from official Australian nutrition guides where reachable (Hungry Jack's, Guzman y Gomez and Subway PDFs) and CalorieKing Australia for the rest. Items whose energy we couldn't confirm against an authoritative source are tagged unverified, and items without sourced macros show "Macros not available". Nothing here is invented — gaps are left as gaps. Always check the chain's own nutrition page before relying on a number; recipes and serving sizes change.
