The tricky thing about Subway's listings is that none
of the sandwiches include condiments. To get a realistic
picture of the fat content, add 11 grams of fat to each sub:
(Light mayo=5 grams; Low-fat cheese slice=5 grams).

or less, including the above 11 grams for mayo and cheese?
Meal#1 Sodium: How much sodium (salt) is in this meal?
Meal# 2 Fat: Which 6-inch sub has 50 grams of fat
or more (including 11 grams above)?
