Calories Vary Based on Sub Size and Bread

Total calories in the sub depends not only on sandwich size, but also on your selection of bread. Here is a quick summary:

Total Fat

A giant 16″ sub on french bread has 108 grams of total fat, including 36 grams saturated fat. That is significantly high.

The amount of dietary fat in one sandwich exceeds the FDA-recommended limit for an entire day (based on a 2,000 calorie diet).

The amount of calories from fat (1,000 calories) alone is almost the same as the total calories in the smaller 8″ Spicy East Coast Italian sub, which has 1,020 calories.

Saturated Fat

General guidance outlined in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, state that individuals should limit calories from saturated fat to less than 10% of total calories.

To that end, note that this large sandwich made with various deli meats delivers over 330 calories from saturated fat. That’s approximately 16% of the 2,050 total calories per serving.

Dietary Cholesterol and Sodium

The 16″ Italian sandwich contains 320 milligrams cholesterol, which exceeds the total recommended amount for an entire day (based on a 2,000 calorie diet).

In addition, one sandwich contains over 3,800 milligrams of sodium. For context, the FDA recommends a daily limit* of 2,300 milligrams of sodium.

% Daily Value is based on a 2,000 calorie daily diet. Individual needs vary and your daily value may be higher or lower. Consult with your physician to determine your dietary needs or restrictions.

Lower Carb Option

If you’re tracking the total carbohydrates in your diet, consider ordering a Jimmy John’s Unwich® version of the Italian sub.

It’s served with all the same salami, capocollo, cheese, and toppings then wrapped in lettuce instead of bread.

Total carbohydrates in the Unwich drop to 11 grams and calories are reduced to 620 when you order the Spicy East Coast Italian as an Unwich lettuce wrap.
