• Protein: 80 calories
• Total: 415 calories

The caloric breakout by nutrient is a rounded estimate based on the nutrition facts label sourced from the restaurant. Calories may vary by location, as a result of how it’s prepared, or due to topping choices.

Lower Calorie Options

One way to lower the overall calories is to order the sandwich with fewer fixings. For example, if you exclude the mayonnaise, total calories in a small-size sub drops by 100 to 320 calories.

More Fixings Lead to More Calories

The larger sized sub sandwiches, of course, include more meat and veggies. Accordingly, the more sizeable sandwiches also have a higher number of total calories.  A medium sub, for example, has 830 calories, 110 more than the small. The large sub contains nearly 1,400 calories.

Fat

Please take note that the amount of fat in a small Steak & Cheese from Firehouse Subs is more than 30% of the daily value recommended by the FDA.

A large sub sandwich exceeds the daily value. For clarity, the large steak and cheese sandwich has 83 grams of fat, including 24 grams of saturated fat.

Sodium

One serving (small steak & cheese sub) has more than half the recommended daily value of sodium. There are 1,340 milligrams of sodium in a size small.

For reference, the size large sub contains 4,100 milligrams of sodium. Can I say that again? Over four thousand milligrams of sodium in one sandwich. That is a lot.
