Can you guess what the fattest sandwich is, that Subway sells, out of these?

• Cheese Steak
• Chipotle Southwest Cheese Steak
• Italian BMT
• Meatball Marinara
• Chicken & Bacon Ranch
• Spicy Italian
• Tuna
• Subway Melt
• Veggie Patty

Without further ado, here's the result copied carefully from "The SUBWAY chain Nutrition Guide":

	Serving Size (g)	Calories (kcal)	Total Fat (g)
Cheese Steak	261	330	9
Chipotle Southwest Cheese Steak	271	411	17
Italian B.M.T	254	446	23
Meatball Marinara	293	441	18
Chicken & Bacon Ranch	309	483	20
Spicy Italian	239	491	29
Tuna	261	514	31
Subway Melt	266	350	10
Veggie Patty	263	377	11

Wow! Who would believe that Tuna would be the fattiest Subway sandwich? Not me for sure.

Notice that the servings are slightly different sizes in grammes. What if we recalculate the table to see calories and total fat per gramme and lets now sort the table by fattest.

	Calories/100g	Fat/100g
Spicy Italian	205.44	12.13
Tuna	196.93	11.88
Italian B.M.T	175.59	9.06
Chicken & Bacon Ranch	156.31	6.47
Chipotle Southwest Cheese Steak	151.66	6.27
Meatball Marinara	150.51	6.14
Veggie	143.35	4.18
Subway Melt	131.58	3.76
Cheese Steak	126.44	3.45

So Tuna isn't the "fattest" sandwich per weight but don't think that because you're "just getting the tuna" means that you're being healthier than when you chose a Cheese Steak.

Does this mean that Subway sandwiches are unhealthy? No I don't think so. This is just a relative comparison between the various sandwiches they offer. I personally think Subway sandwiches are OK considering the low price they really are for plenty of food and a decent selection of vegetables.
