How many calories are in a 15 cm Subway sandwich?

From 290 kcal for the Veggie to 570 kcal for the Alpine, according to the chain’s official data for the standard build on white bread with Cheddar and ketchup. A 30 cm sandwich is exactly double.

Which Subway sandwich has the fewest calories?

The Veggie, at 290 kcal for 229 g. Among meat sandwiches, Turkey is the lowest at 322 kcal and Roast Beef at 344 kcal. Chicken Breast has the best protein-to-calorie ratio: 21.4 g of protein for 358 kcal.

Why do sandwiches with the same bread have such different calorie counts?

Their carbohydrates are roughly the same—42–45 g—from the bread and vegetables. Fat drives the range, from 8.7 g in the Veggie to 35.9 g in the Alpine. The filling and sauce, not the bread, create the difference.

Do these figures apply to my sandwich?

Only if it is the standard build. The calculation uses white bread, the full vegetable selection, Cheddar, and ketchup; changing the sauce or adding cheese or meat is not included. The chain also states a ±10% tolerance.

Subway calories: sandwich macros from the official data

Subway publishes nutrition information for its full menu in a separate document. The figures below come from that document. What matters is not just the calories but their range: the lightest and heaviest sandwiches of the same size differ by nearly twofold.

15 cm sandwiches: official figures

The data come from the chain’s published nutrition document. It states a ±10% tolerance and specifies that the figures are for the standard build: white bread, the full vegetable selection, Cheddar cheese, and ketchup as the sauce.

Sandwich	Weight	kcal	Protein	Fat	Carbohydrates
Veggie	229 g	290	8.6	8.7	42.6
Turkey	274 g	322	14.9	9.2	42.6
Roast Beef	274 g	344	13.6	12.3	43.0
Chicken Breast	289 g	358	21.4	10.2	43.2
Chicken Teriyaki	303 g	382	21.1	10.4	49.2
Ham	273 g	418	13.0	21.0	42.6
Tuna	289 g	416	14.7	19.3	44.2
Chicken & Bacon Melt	308 g	422	23.1	17.2	42.6
Italian B.M.T.	281 g	441	14.7	22.4	43.3
Mushroom	289 g	445	11.8	23.0	45.2
Salmon Cream Cheese	307 g	473	18.9	23.1	43.2
Mega Chicken	334 g	490	19.8	17.1	62.5
Big City Steak	240 g	505	19.6	28.9	41.4
Alpine	309 g	570	18.2	35.9	42.6

A 30 cm sandwich is exactly double: its weight and all four nutrition figures are multiplied by two, as the chain states separately.

What creates the nearly twofold difference

Carbohydrates are nearly the same across the sandwiches—42–45 g. They come from the bread and vegetables, which are the same. The entire 290-to-570 kcal range therefore comes from fat: 8.7 g in the Veggie versus 35.9 g in the Alpine.

This gives a useful rule when you do not have the table: look not at the meat but at what is added to it. Turkey and Ham use the same bread and vegetables; the 96 kcal difference comes from the filling. Chicken & Bacon Melt has 64 kcal more than Chicken Breast for the same reason.

For protein, Chicken Breast has the best protein-to-calorie ratio here: 21.4 g of protein for 358 kcal. Mushroom has 11.8 g of protein for 445 kcal, roughly half as favorable on both measures.

What these figures do not include

The figures are calculated for the standard build, while customization is a central part of the chain’s menu. The table does not include:

Sauce. The calculation uses ketchup. Mayonnaise-based sauces and Ranch add noticeably more, and are common substitutions.
Extra cheese. A serving of Cheddar is 41 kcal and Emmental 39 kcal. That is not much, but it is added on top.
Bread. The calculation uses white bread. Other types change the total.
Anything added on request. Fried mushrooms, fried onions, and a second meat portion are not in the table.

There is also the chain’s stated ±10% tolerance: for a 400 kcal sandwich, that is ±40 kcal before any substitutions.

Sides and desserts

Item	Weight	kcal
Chicken nuggets, 5 pieces	100 g	178
Potato wedges, standard serving	130 g	182
Cheese sticks, 4 pieces	120 g	360
Cookie	55 g	231
Muffin	85 g	357
Donut	70 g	292

This shows the ordinary arithmetic of a tray: adding a muffin to a sandwich contributes about as much as the difference between the lightest and heaviest sandwich on the menu.

If there is no such table

A published document for an entire menu is uncommon in Russian food service; more often, figures are in an app and appear during ordering. You can also request them in the restaurant: a dish’s nutrition information is part of the mandatory consumer information and must be shown on request. See calorie labeling in menus and the law for what is required and in what form.

When no figures are available, photograph the menu: photo analysis provides an estimate for each item—rougher than an official table, but enough to choose between two dishes. See calories when eating out for how it works.
