Higher Calories When Served on Wheat Bread
When the Jimmy Cubano is made on thick sliced wheat bread, the amount of each macronutrient increases by a few grams. Accordingly, calories also increase.
Total sandwich has 760 total calories when served on sliced wheat bread.
Giant Sub Leads to Big Increase in Calories
The Giant serving, a 16″ sub on French bread, has 1,410 total calories.
Reduced Calorie Jimmy Cubano
If you want to reduce the amount of carbs and calories in your diet, try the Jimmy John’s Unwich®. It’s made with all the same fixings except for the bread. Wrapped in lettuce, you can still enjoy all the strong smoky flavor of the meats and cheese at about half of the calories.
The Jimmy Cubano Unwich has only 480 total calories.
