Fat
Let’s take a look at the amount of fat in the Meatball sub sandwich.
The small size sub contains 54 grams of fat. That’s nearly 85% of the daily value recommended by the FDA (based on a 2,000 calorie daily diet). This size sub contains about 480 calories from fat.
The amount of fat nearly doubles in the size medium sub, which contains 101 grams of fat (about 900 calories from fat).
And, the large sub contains nearly 160 grams of fat (over 1,400 calories), which includes over 61 grams of saturated fat. To put that into context, the saturated fat in this sandwich is over 300% of the recommended daily value. I feel like I need to say that again it’s so surprising to me. One large meatball sub contains 3x the limit for an entire day.
- Small: 29 grams fat (11 grams saturated fat)
- Medium: 51 grams fat (19 grams saturated fat)
- Large: 158.5 grams fat (61.5 grams saturated fat)
