At a time when people want to sneak more protein into their meals in convenient, great-tasting ways, the reintroduced Subway Fresh Fit menu shares sandwiches packed with 20 grams of protein—or more—a full serving of vegetables and fewer than 500 calories in a six-inch.

Subway's four new Fresh Fit sandwiches are made to order on multigrain bread, with options including Turkey & Ranch Delite (26 grams of protein) with spinach, tomatoes, red onions and a drizzle of Peppercorn Ranch or the Grilled Chicken & Avocado (35 grams of protein) with lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions and smoky Baja Chipotle sauce.

Protein often comes at a premium and with its Fresh Fit sandwiches, Subway is doing things differently, delivering satisfying, protein-forward options that fit into daily routines without sacrificing flavor or enjoyment, or emptying wallets.
