Not as healthy as we thought.

     Boy am I severely disappointed, and a little worried.   Last week, my wife and I thought that we would hit Quizno's for a quick dinner. We knew that our sandwiches would not be overly healthy, but what we discovered was worse than we thought.   My wife had Gestational Diabetes when she was pregnant with our first son, and has had to be more conscious of what she is eating with the second.  After eating at Quizno's my wife tested her blood sugar and was a whopping 174, well above the recommended high of 120.  I ate a footlong Prime Rib and Peppercorn, and my wife had a torpedo split with our son ( a tiny turkey sandwich that endend up being mostly bread). When we returned home my wife researched some of the nutritional information for our Quizno's sandwiches and compared them to the Subway sandwiches we used to eat.  Unfortunately, neither sandwich turns out to be very healthy.  Below is a copy of my wife's research. The top sandwich is a six inch, and the bottom sandwich is a footlong.

  1. That is just plain depressing... We need to win the powerball and just hire personal chefs to prepare healthy food :-)
