Meatball Sandwich

The Subway Meatball Marinara sandwich looks irresistible. I had been resisting it for years until I finally decided to indulge in one. My taste buds didn’t enjoy the sandwich as much as my eyes had been enjoying it. I wished I’d kept admiring it from far away from my mouth. It was okay, but I didn’t find it special. The standard six inch sub, according to Subway dot com has 480 calories with 160 calories form fat. I don’t find that terrible. What disturbs me is that this sandwich has 950 mg sodium (again according to Subway dot com.) That’s almost half the sodium I need to consume in a day. Add a bag of chips to that sandwich order to run the calories and sodium up to a ridiculous level.
