Best and Worst Sandwiches Schlotzsky's: Worst Bet The Original Style Turkey Sandwich contains naturally lean turkey meat, a healthy start for a sandwich. And it looks healthy, doesn't it? But it finishes at a whopping 831 calories, 35 g fat, 14 g saturated fat, and 2,529 mg sodium. How? Schlotzsky's adds salami and three types of cheese -- all loaded with fat, calories, and sodium. Schlotzsky's: Better Bet The Small Smoked Turkey Breast is a better choice at Schlotzsky's. It has only 353 calories -- about half the calories of the "original-style" sandwich -- along with a slim 6 g fat and 1 g saturated fat. Turkey, lettuce, tomato, and light mayo on a sourdough roll keep the calories and fat in check. But watch out for the sky-high 1,069 mg of sodium from the smoked turkey. Quiznos: Worst Bet The regular-size Tuna Melt Deli Sub, loaded with mayo and cheese, contains more fat than most people should eat in a day. It weighs in at 1,220 calories, 94 g fat, 19 g saturated fat, and 1,370 mg sodium. If you choose the large size, you'll get 1,740 calories, more than most women need in an entire day. The fat jumps up to 135 grams. Quiznos: Better Bet A small Honey Bourbon Chicken on Wheat is a slim, tasty choice with only 300 calories, 5 g fat, 2 g saturated fat, and 790 mg sodium. Honey bourbon mustard replaces mayo, for great flavor with very little fat. This small sandwich makes you feel full, thanks to high-fiber bread, lettuce, tomato and the satisfying lean protein in the chicken. If you need more to chew on, a piece of fruit can complete this healthy meal. Blimpie: Worst Bet Too many 6" BLT Super Stacked sandwiches could make you look like a blimp. This sandwich has 640 calories, 41 g fat, 9 g saturated fat, and 1,440 mg sodium. When ordering at a sub shop, beware of specialty breads, which often have extra calories. And stay clear of the foot-long, double-stuffed subs at Blimpie. These range from 920-1,250 calories. Blimpie: Better Bet Order the 6" Roast Beef and Provolone on wheat for a healthy and satisfying sandwich. The tally is: 430 calories, 14 g fat, 5 g saturated fat, 980 mg sodium, and 6 g fiber. Keep these other Blimpie subs under 400 calories by skipping the cheese and sauce: ham, turkey, veggie, or club. Have it on wheat for a healthy dose of fiber. This info was printed from www.WebMD.com Best and Worst Sandwiches Arby's: Worst Bet Arby's Roast Turkey Ranch & Bacon Market Fresh Sandwich has bacon, turkey, lettuce, tomato, cheese, and Ranch sauce -- all adding up to a colossal 810 calories, 36 g fat, 10 g saturated fat, and a shocking 2,270 mg sodium. "Market Fresh" has a healthful ring, but the fat and calories put this sandwich closer to a greasy burger and fries. Arby's: Better Bet A plain, Regular Roast Beef Sandwich is a decent choice for controlling calories. But skip the melted cheese, mayo, and the "horsey" sauce (50 calories and 5 g of fat in a tiny packet.) Arby's sauce adds flavor with zero fat and only 15 calories. The nutrient tally before additions is 360 calories, 14 g fat, 6 g saturated fat. The high sodium content may be a deal-breaker for some at 950 mg. Burger King: Worst Bet "Crisp" is a red flag for high-fat, fried food. And the Tender Crisp Chicken Sandwich is a classic example of fried chicken on a bun slathered with creamy, high-fat dressing. It tops out at 800 calories, 46 g fat, 8 g saturated fat, and 1,640 mg sodium -- more calories and fat than a Whopper with cheese. Burger King: Best Bet The TenderGrill Chicken Sandwich on a Ciabatta bun is a juicy, grilled chicken filet topped with lettuce and tomato. Dressed with mayo, it has 470 calories, 18 g fat, 7 g saturated fat, and 1,100 mg of sodium. Skip the mayo for a slender 370 calorie sandwich. Pickles, onions, and mustard add kick without too many extra calories. Panera: Worst Bet The Signature Chipotle Chicken on Artisan French Bread contains 830 calories, 37 g fat, 12 g saturated fat, and 2,180 mg of sodium. That's the daily sodium limit for healthy adults. The special sauce, bacon, and cheddar help turn chicken, a lean type of protein, into a calorie bomb. Unfortunately, many of the hot panini, signature, and café sandwiches hit the 700-900 calorie range. Panera: Best Bet Smoked Turkey on Whole Grain Bread has less calories and fat. It has 99% fat-free turkey with tomato, lettuce, mustard and mayo, all adding to 560 calories, 2.5 g of saturated fat, 17 g of total fat and 1,960 mg of sodium.

Removing the skin and the upper slice of the bread leaves you with 320 calories, 2.5 g of saturated fat, 8 g of total fat and 1,630 mg of sodium. Go for multigrain bread for more fibers. McDonald’s: Worst Bet The high fat content of Crispy Chicken Club Sandwich should not be surprising considering McDonald’s reputation as the food chain of fatty fries and burgers. Fried chicken, rich mayo and bacon contribute to its 630 calories, 7 g of saturated fat, 28 g of total fat and 1,360 mg of sodium. The wheat bread, tomato and lettuce add some nutritional value. If the grilled chicken and mustard are used instead of fried chicken and mayo, this sandwich would be a healthier choice. McDonald’s: Best Bet The Honey Mustard Grilled Chicken Wrap has moderate calories. Each tortilla has grilled chicken, lettuce and shredded cheese. It has only 260 calories, 3.4 g of saturated fat, 9 g of total fat and 800 mg of sodium. The chipotle versions have slightly more calories. Combined with a fruit and walnut salad, all servings would amount to 500 calories.

This large sub contains 860 calories, 18 g of saturated fat, 42 g of total fat and 2,480 mg of sodium. You should avoid the $5 special sub unless you can afford to overeat.
