		<description>Scott, your calorie comparison is flawed because the 810 Torpedo figure includes 200 calories for &quot;dressing&quot; on the sandwich.  If you&#039;re going to include that, then one could put Chipotle Sauce and Mayo on their footlong and add 400 calories.

Lathan&#039;s meat vs meat, bread vs bread, and veggies vs veggies comparison is obv the way to go!</description>

		<description>I agree with you 99% but wonder if you have really looked at the whole picture. DOn&#039;t mean to be critical just food for thought.</description>

		<description>I&#039;d reccomend buying 1 of each sandwich, or heck, make it a science fair project... buy 10 of each, throw out the smallest and largest, and then take averages...

Step 1- take the sandwiches apart, and divide the parts into respective groups, using &quot;trays of equal mass&quot; (to be subtracted off later)

Step 2- weigh the parts, the AVERAGE WEIGHT per sandwich in bread, meat, cheese, sauce, etc.

Step 3- compare by WEIGHT the amount of food vs amount of food subway vs quiznos, then consider costs.

Step 4- Draw conclusions.</description>

		<description>You are correct that Calories is the amount of fuel.  But, if I eat 3 oz of food that contain 3000 calories, I will feel less full than if I ate 6 oz of food that contain the same amount of calories.  Your stomach does not know how many calories you eat.

Also, the Subway Website states that the Italian BMT Nutritional value is based on their 9 grain bread, with lettuce, tomato, onions, green peppers, pickles, olives and cheese.

First I don&#039;t really know anyone who goes to subway and gets a sandwich dry. Usually you&#039;ll add mustard and mayonnaise.  Also there are other things you can add to your sandwich, and different types of breads, so calculating on a calorie basis is no fun.

Secondly, last I checked Subway has 3 different kinds of cheese, and I highly doubt they have the same fat/calorie content

If you go by the calorie count, then the Quiznos is actually a unhealthy sandwich compared to subway.  Subway can give you more food, with less calories. 

I rather feel full from eating a real size sandwich.</description>

		<description>You need to compare the calories of the sandwiches for a fair comparison, not the volumetric measurement.  The amount of fuel you get in food is meausured in calories, not size.  You&#039;ve built your argument on false data.

The fairest comparison would be the Subway Italian BMT to a Quiznos Italian Torpedo.

From the Subway website - http://subway.com/subwayroot/MenuNutrition/Nutrition/pdf/NutritionValues.pdf - the BMT footlong is 900 calories.

From the Quiznos website - http://www.quiznos.com/subsandwiches/Products.aspx?itemType=torpedoes - Torpedo is 810 calories.

900 compared to 810 is ~11%, so you pay 25% more for the Subway sandwich to get 11% more &quot;food&quot;, using the correct agreed upon measurements for food in the universe, calories, NOT size.

I won&#039;t argue which is better, that&#039;s a matter of taste, but your argument is clearly biased and misleading because you measured the wrong &quot;thing&quot;.  As a nerd you can&#039;t argue that point.</description>

		<description>Great post joel!
I agree with the previous post, go to publix if you have one nearby. While not $5, they pack more meat than the entire diameter of subway&#039;s sub. You can get full on a 1/2.</description>
