Subway Calories: Where the Numbers Actually Come From
Subway's published numbers are for the sandwich as listed, which means bread, meat, cheese and standard vegetables. Almost nobody eats it that way. Mayonnaise adds about 100 calories per 6-inch, ranch about 110, and toasted cheese another 40-60. That is how a 280-calorie turkey sub reaches 500 without looking any different.

FAQs
Frequently asked
Is a footlong just double a 6-inch?
Close enough to plan with. The bread and fillings roughly double, so a footlong Italian BMT lands near 800 calories. Sauces usually more than double, because staff apply them along the full length.
