I've been eating Subways daily for the past two week. It's a foot long tuna on wheat. Lettus, tomatos, and onions are included. Is this ok for me to stay healthy? I'll try to force myself to eat my fruits and veggies if needed.

If you're thinking that you're doing the "Subway diet" like Jared did years ago, you're going about it the wrong way. While the tuna alone is fine, the tuna salad that Subway uses is mixed with fat laden mayo which is a bad thing when you're trying to lose weight. The whole wheat bread choice is fine, although you didn't specify if you're eating a footlong for lunch and dinner or taking the footlong and eating half for lunch and the other half for dinner (which would be the better choice).

If you really want to make the "Subway diet" work for you like it did for Jared, you need to make some big time changes in your choices. His Subway sandwhiches included the lowest fat variety choices (ham, turkey, roast beef)(look on the menu for the healthy choices), no mayo, loads of vege's. If he wanted sauce on his sandwhich, he used mustard or the vinegar and oil.
If you're eating sides, choose the baked chips over the fried chips, or if your restaurant offers, choose apple slices if possible. Instead of sugary soda, get iced tea or water with lemon to drink.
Of course, there are even better options at Subway. Try their salads for a change. If you get them loaded with the veges, and skip any cheese, have them give you the dressing on the side, you'll get a nice filling salad.

The only other bad thing about Subway is the fact that it's hard on the wallet. Eating out get's expensive pretty quickly when you start adding it up. I'd personally recommend buying the sandwhich fixings at your grocery store, and packing your own lunch. You'll have better control of what you put on it, plus, you'll have healthier options for side dishes if you want them (I personally like packing pudding cups with our lunches, something sweet and chocolaty with low calories).
Don't forget to add in working out to your diet plan to better help you lose the weight. Diet won't do it alone. Good luck!

No it is not okay for you to stay healthy because the tuna is loaded with empty calories such as mayonnaise. I occasionally eat a subway sandwhich but the healthy choice would be their 6 grams of fat or less such as the oven roasted chicken or subway club. The more fat you eat with carbs like white bread, if you dont work it off it stores as fat. Also subway have meals including apple slices and diet coke to go with the sandwhich if you don't often like fruit.

you should have 5-6 small meals a day rather than a footlong sub. how about eating 6inches here and 6 inches there. then you wont be as hungry. there are some good options below.

You need a homecooked meal sometimes...its okay i guess....as long as everything u get from subways is water and healthy sandwich. butu your spending alot of money..when you could just cook.
