Eat This, Not That: Jimmy John's! (my favorite)

Eat This:
  • Turkey Breast Slim Sub with alfalfa sprouts, tomatoes onion, cucumber and avocado spread. Start with a Plain Slim and build a healthier sandwich by subbing vegetables for cheese, mayo and dressings.
  • Totally Tuna sub.
  • Vegetarian sub with avocado spread, cucumber, lettuce, tomatoes, alfalfa sprouts.
Not That!:
  • Turkey Tom with alfalfa sprouts, tomatoes, lettuce and mayo. Jimmy John's is liberal with the mayo - Hellmann's alone adds 25 grams of fat to your lunch. Stick with mustard and win back all 25 grams.
  • Pepe sub with ham, provolone, lettuce, tomato, mayo.
  • Gourmet Veggie Club with provolone, avocado, cucumber, alfalfa sprouts, lettuce, tomato, mayo.
Weapon of Mass Destruction:
  • The J.J. Gargantuan. A vegetarian's nightmare invented by Jimmy John's heavy-handed brother, Huey. This gut bomb features Genoa salami, smoked ham, capicola, roast beef, smoked turkey, and provolone smothered with mayo and Italian dressing.
Little Trick:
  • Substitute avocado spread for mayo and knock off 200 calories, 24 grams of fat and 98 grams of sodium.
Did You Know?
  • Jimmy John's vegetables are from local sources and delivered on a daily basis. Unlike at Subway, nothing is delivered pre-sliced. Meat and vegetables are cut fresh in-house every day. (I LOVE that about JJ's!!!)
  • To maintain a focus on high-quality sandwiches, Jimmy John's franchises are not allowed to sell salads or soup.
