Common Questions About Subway cheesesteak Nutrition

How many calories and how much protein does a Subway Cheesesteak have?

A 6-inch Subway Cheesesteak sandwich contains approximately 380-450 calories, depending on the bread and optional additions. It provides around 26g of protein, making it a moderate protein option for a meal. The calorie count may vary with different toppings and sauces.

Is the Subway Cheesesteak suitable for a low-carb or keto diet?

The traditional Subway Cheesesteak is not keto-friendly due to the bread, which typically has high carbohydrate content (around 40-50g in a 6-inch serving). To make it keto-compatible, you can opt for a no-bread option by choosing a salad or protein bowl version and avoiding sugary sauces.

Are there any health concerns with eating a Subway Cheesesteak?

A Subway Cheesesteak can be high in sodium, containing around 1,000mg per 6-inch serving, which is almost half the recommended daily intake. Additionally, the cheese and steak contribute saturated fats, so it should be consumed in moderation, especially if managing heart health or sodium-sensitive conditions.

What is a recommended portion size for a Subway Cheesesteak?

A 6-inch Subway Cheesesteak is typically considered a single serving size for adults. For smaller appetites or to save calories, consider eating half and pairing it with a side salad or more vegetables. If ordering a footlong, be mindful that you're consuming double the calorie and sodium content.

How does a Subway Cheesesteak compare to a classic Philly Cheesesteak?

While both the Subway Cheesesteak and a classic Philly Cheesesteak contain steak and melted cheese, the Subway version is typically lower in calories and fat due to leaner meat and reduced cheese portions. However, the classic Philly may have a richer flavor due to fattier cuts of steak and larger cheese servings.
