With a variety of subs, soups and salads, Quiznos seems like a pretty healthy place to eat at for lunch or dinner, but because sometimes things that look healthy aren’t really that good for our waistlines, we decided to take a deeper look at the menu.
Below are meals that met our registered dietitian Rebecca Scritchfield’s healthy guidelines of having less than 500 calories and less than 500 milligrams of sodium, according to the the new daily sodium recommendations. Thankfully, there are quite a few options!

1. Half of a Small Turkey Ranch & Swiss Sub. Order this sandwich plain (read: no ranch and Swiss cheese) and have half for 270 calories and 500 milligrams of sodium. Pair it with an apple for some healthy fiber!
