“Hi, can I get a #16 Chicken Philly Sub in a Tub?
I’d like extra grilled chicken, please.
Add the grilled onions and peppers, a light sprinkle of cheese, and just lettuce and tomato for the veggies.”
As someone who's always looking for delicious yet healthy meal options, especially when I'm out and about, discovering the Jersey Mike's 'Sub in a Tub' has been an absolute game-changer. It's not just a meal; it's a customizable, high-protein, low-carb solution that fits perfectly into my weight loss journey and keeps me feeling satisfied. While my #16 Chicken Philly Sub in a Tub with extra grilled chicken, grilled onions, peppers, a light sprinkle of cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes is a personal favorite, the beauty of the ‘Sub in a Tub’ is its versatility. You can literally turn almost any of their delicious subs into a protein bowl! This is fantastic news if you're exploring different high-protein, low-carb options for your diet. For instance, if you're not in the mood for chicken, you could opt for a Turkey and Provolone in a Tub, or even a Club Supreme. The key is to think of it as a salad, but with all the amazing meat and toppings from your favorite sub. Here’s how I customize my 'Sub in a Tub' to ensure it aligns with my calorie and carb goals: Choose Your Protein Wisely: Most Jersey Mike’s subs are packed with quality meats. For a truly high-protein meal, don't hesitate to ask for 'extra meat' if your budget allows. Options like turkey, roast beef, or tuna (though be mindful of the mayo content for calories) are great. The grilled chicken, as featured in my go-to order, is excellent for a lean protein boost. Load Up on Veggies: This is where you get your fiber and volume without many extra calories or carbs. Lettuce, tomatoes, onions, peppers, pickles, and even jalapeños are fantastic additions. They add crunch, flavor, and make the meal more filling. I always request plenty of shredded lettuce and sliced tomatoes! Be Mindful of Dressings and Cheese: The classic 'juice' (red wine vinegar and olive oil blend) is delicious, but oil adds calories. I usually ask for 'light oil' or 'vinegar only' to keep the fat content in check. Mustard is a great zero-calorie flavor enhancer. For cheese, like the melted cheese on my Chicken Philly, a 'light sprinkle' is perfect to add flavor without going overboard on calories and fat. Avoid mayo or ask for it on the side in very small amounts. Skip the Bread Entirely: This is the core of the 'Sub in a Tub' concept. By removing the bread, you immediately cut down on a significant amount of carbohydrates and calories, making it ideal for low-carb, keto, or general weight loss diets. Many people wonder about the 'healthiest bread at Jersey Mike's,' but for true low-calorie and low-carb goals, the 'Sub in a Tub' is often the superior choice. I love how straightforward it is to order; just say 'Sub in a Tub' and specify your preferred toppings. It's truly a high-protein, low-carb, and low-calorie champion that tastes amazing and helps me stay on track. If you're looking for delicious nutrition facts and a meal that supports your weight loss journey, giving a customized Jersey Mike's 'Sub in a Tub' a try is a must!
