Jersey Mike’s Ordering Hacks

1. Always Ask “Sub in a Tub”

Any sub can be made as a salad. You save 280-290 calories and 45-50g carbs instantly while keeping all the protein and toppings.

2. Go “Mike’s Way”

“Mike’s Way” means onions, lettuce, tomatoes, vinegar, oil, and oregano. It’s the standard, and it’s macro-friendly (except the oil adds ~100 calories).

3. Skip the Oil for Extreme Cutting

Oil adds 100 calories of pure fat. If cutting hard, ask for vinegar and oregano only. Mustard adds flavor for 5 calories.

4. Order Extra Meat

For $2-3, you can add 2oz of any meat (10-14g protein, 60-100 calories). Great for boosting protein without doubling the sandwich size.

5. Get Veggies Loaded

Lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, peppers, and jalapeños are virtually calorie-free. Load up for volume and satiety.

6. Choose Wheat Over White (If Eating Bread)

Wheat sub rolls have similar calories but slightly more fiber and micronutrients. Both work fine for macros.

7. Split a Giant

Giant subs are 14-15 inches and have 960-1,820 calories. Split with a friend or save half for later.

Common Jersey Mike’s Macro Mistakes

Mistake 1: Forgetting Sub in a Tub Exists

If you’re cutting or low-carb, there’s no reason to eat the bread. Sub in a Tub cuts nearly 300 calories and 50g carbs while keeping protein identical.

Mistake 2: Adding Mayo and Chipotle Mayo

Each adds 100-120 calories of fat. If you want creamy texture, use light mayo or skip it entirely.

Mistake 3: Assuming “Italian” Means Healthy

The Original Italian (#13) has 850 calories with 46g fat. It’s delicious and high-protein (43g), but it’s not a low-calorie option.

Mistake 4: Eating a Whole Giant on a Cut

Giants have 960-1,820 calories—often more than an entire day’s budget on a cut. Split them or stick to minis and regulars.

Mistake 5: Underestimating Chips and Cookies

Chips add 150 calories, cookies add 420. That “small side” can push your meal 150-400 calories higher.
