Ketogenic Subway Guide: Low Carb Subway Ordering!

Yes, Subway is known for their sub sandwiches. And, yes, they use bread and carbs in almost everything they offer. But you can find a Subway restaurant almost anywhere you go. In fact, Subway is the largest food franchise in the world. So if you can find some go-to low carb Subway options, it can be a lifesaver when traveling. Here’s our ketogenic Subway ordering guide!

Ketogenic Subway Options

How to eat ketogenic Subway? Answer: Mainly Salad

Let’s get that out of the way. There’s no magical Subway low carb flatbread. Even though the flatbread is flat, it has essentially the same amount of carbs as a normal submarine bread!

Are Subway wraps low carb though? Those are even flatter than flatbread, right?! Nope. They are also in the 30g net carb range like their carbacious counterparts.

Salad can be tricky too because it is supposedly “healthy”. However, the best keto salad options are usually the tastiest and savory due to the ability to pile on the fat!

This table lists your best low carb Subway salad options, sortable by net carbs.

What’s the best low carb Subway salad?

Our pick is the Subway Chicken Bacon Ranch Salad (keto-friendly and tasty). Almost like a wedge salad, the bacon and ranch combo is one of the safest bets at any restaurant, and it is no exception here. It’s a great combo of ample fat and protein with low net carbs to get you satiated.

Meaty Add-ons to salads

• Pepperoni – 0g net carbs
• Bacon – 1g net carbs (from sugar)

Toppings

• Jalapenos – 0g net carbs
• Banana Peppers – 0g net carbs
• Green Olives – 0g net carbs
• Black Olives – 1g net carb
• Pickles – 1g net carb
• Cucumbers – 1g net carb
• Green Peppers – 1g net carb
• Spinach – 1g net carb
• Red Onions – 1g net carb

Low Carb Subway Salad Dressings & Sauces

• Oil – 0g net carbs
• Mayo – 1g net carb
• Deli Brown Mustard – 1g net carb
• Buffalo Sauce – 1g net carb
• Chipotle Southwest Sauce – 2g net carbs
• Ranch Dressing – 2g net carbs
• House Sandwich Sauce – 3g net carbs
• Garlic Aioli – 3g net carbs

Turn any of your favorite sandwiches into a salad

There isn’t a convenient Subway lettuce wrap option like at some other low carb fast food places (see: Keto at Jimmy Johns for that). However, you can turn any of their subs into Subway salads.

Did all the above sandwich names sound eerily familiar? That’s because they are the sandwiches just without the bread, with the ingredients on top of lettuce.

Keep that in mind the list above doesn’t include seasonal and regional offerings that you may come across, so feel free to ask to for any sandwich as a salad!

Keto Subway Breakfast Options

All the breakfast sandwich options are pretty low carb if you simply nix the flatbread. Most of the breakfast flatbreads are variations on egg, cheese and some meats. All of those are pretty safe to eat on keto and as we mentioned previously, the flatbread is the biggest offender here.

Pro-Tip: Just order the breakfast sandwich normally and don’t eat the flatbread. That way, you don’t have to awkwardly explain how to toast meat and cheese. The cheese shouldn’t be melted into the bread, so it’s actually pretty easy to just eat around the flatbread.

Here’s a list of the ketogenic Subway Breakfast Sandwich options (hold the flatbread).

That’s it!
