It's back: Eat This, Not That Subway style!

Eat This:
  • 6-inch Double Roast Beef Sub. Wnat an exciting stand-in for mayo? Try the Sweet Onion Sauce or the HOney Mustard. Both go well with nearly everything and will spare you 12 grams of fat. Even with twice the meat - and double the protein - this sandwich still has only a fraction of the fat found in the tuna.
  • 6-inch steak and cheese.
  • Oven roasted chicken breast salad with fat free Italian dressing.
  • Roasted chicken noodle soup.
Not That!:
  • 6-inch tuna sub. Gloppy mayo-based tuna salad sends this sandwich's fat count skyrocketing.
  • Meatball marinara.
  • Turkey breast salad with ranch dressing.
  • Wild rice with chicken soup.
Little trick: Looking to cut down on the salt? Stick with Swiss cheese. It has one-third the sodium of cheddar, and one-fourth the sodium of provolone.

Little trick 2: Rather than order a large sub, double up on your meat on a small. You'll save more than cash: Try this with a turkey sandwich and save 230 calories.

Guilty pleasure: Chili con Carne
The beans contain selenium and 12 grams of fiber, while the beef gives you a protein boost with 19 grams. And Tulane University researchers found that eating beans four times a week can lower the risk of heart disease by 19 percent.
