The new bread will be available at select locations starting at the end of this month and features a sugar-free recipe that is packed with 12-grams of protein and 26-grams of fiber. This equals out to give the bread just one-net-carb and 100-calories per six-inch sandwich. The new Subway bread option will be expanded to additional locations with the help of consumers who can start nominating their choice of US city starting November 5, 2021, which will also enter them for a chance to win exclusive prizes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 11% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Zero-sugar Fast Food Options:** There is a growing demand for fast food options that cater to dietary preferences, such as zero-sugar options with high protein and fiber content. - **Consumer-driven Expansion:** Allowing consumers to nominate their choice of location for a new product is a trend that creates consumer engagement and helps to shape expansion decisions. - **Alternative Bread Ingredients:** The use of non-traditional bread ingredients, such as high-protein and low-carb options, creates opportunities for innovation and differentiation in the bakery industry. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Quick Service Restaurants:** QSRs that offer menu items that cater to specific dietary needs and preferences have the opportunity to attract a wider range of customers. - **Consumer Products:** Consumer products companies can benefit from engaging with customers and incorporating their preferences into product development and expansion strategies. - **Bakery:** Bakeries that experiment with alternative ingredients and flavors in their breads have opportunities for differentiation and growth in the market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Prebiotic-Enhanced Breads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hero-bread.md) - [Spiced QSR Sandwich Breads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ghost-pepper-bread.md) - [Premium QSR Deli Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deli-heroes.md) - [Low-Carb Hawaiian Rolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hero-hawaiian-rolls.md) - [Artisan-Style Sub Sandwich Breads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hovis-sub-rolls.md) - [Artisanal Protein-Rich Breads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/srsly-low-carb-seeded-loaf.md) - [High Protein Cheddar Biscuits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/high-protein-cheddar-biscuits.md) - [Lifestyle-Inspired Bread Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/natures-own-breads.md) - [Fresh Free-From Bread Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bread-products.md)
