Subway eat fresh? Is Subway really fresh?





I always loved the subway chicken breast foot long. Ordering it without the cookies and drinks thinking that it was the healthiest meal ever that will help get me lean and shredded.  What can go wrong with bread, vegetables (cucumber, tomato, and olive) and chicken breast?

Only until one day, where I got the frozen chicken breast that was taken out fresh from freezer. They had to defrost it in the oven and it looks the same white chicken and everything, until I chew on it. Some of the part wasn’t normal, it was chewy, it feels like I just put some eraser into my mouth. I knew that something was not right. So here is my research for the FRESH SUBWAY.

First of all, SUBWAY EAT FRESH according to SUBWAY is define as the sandwich is made fresh on the spot and that doesn’t mean the ingredient is fresh.

In its defence, Subway says by ‘fresh’ it means that the sandwiches are freshly made in front of customer, not that the ingredients are fresh. It also says that, where possible, it sources meat from the UK. Not that its meat is 100 per cent meat: Subway told me its ham contains pork rear-leg meat, water, salt, stabilisers, dextrose (sugar), lactose, smoke flavouring, preservative and antioxidant. What goes into the flavouring, it did not divulge.

I will only be touching on the chicken breast for this post, but subway is still a fastfood chain stall so we cant really expect much. Here it goes …

CHICKEN BREAST PATTY
Chicken breast with rib meat, water, seasoning (corn syrup solids, vinegar
powder [maltodextrin, modified corn starch and tapioca starch, dried vinegar], brown sugar, salt, dextrose, garlic powder, onion powder, chicken type flavor [hydrolyzed corn gluten, autolyzed yeast extract, thiamine hydrochloride, disodium inosinate and disodium guanylate]), sodium phosphates.


Your chicken breast is not really your chicken. It is a mixture of corn syrup, maltodextrin, corn starch, tapioca all the bad carbohydrates. And some corn gluten and your chicken taste comes from chicken type flavor. All I can say is what did I just ate!?

Anyway it’s a fast food chain, don’t be cheated by the eat fresh and thinking that eating subway is healthy.

Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey



Gold standards whey - Double rich chocolate flavor 10lbs bag

This is one of the highest rated brand in the supplement industry. 

First of all taste and mix-ability. I taste more like dark chocolate to me. Not that artificial and not so sweet. Mixes well with just a few shake and it is a light blend very easy to drink. 

Protein content. 
This is a high isolate and low concentrate protein powder. Which is a higher grade compare to most other brands. Percentage of protein per scoop is also above 80%. 

If you are just looking for a post workout shake this may be the right one for you. If you want something better, can go for pure isolate protein like optimum nutrition hydrowhey

Get yours at NutriFirst

Should you replace your meals with protein shake/mass gainer

Should you replace your meal with mass gainer or protein shake? The answer is no, you still need to get your vitamins and minerals from the food that you take in. Protein powder and mass gainer is a supplement it is suppose to be an addition to help with your diet and not to replace it! Same as meal replacement powder it will be good to use it on a 2 day on 1 day off basis and only use it to replace your dinner.
