Quiznos offers a number of dietary torpedos: the Mesquite, Turkey Bacon Guacamole and innocent-sounding Honey Mustard varieties ring in at over 900 calories for a Regular size. But it's the Italian Meatball sandwich, topped with double mozzarella and marinara sauce, that will sink your nutritional goals quickest. It's the equivalent of eating two Big Macs! The best option is the Regular Turkey Lite, which comes topped with vegetables and a vinaigrette (a staple of the original authentic Northeastern submarine sandwich). It rings in at fewer than half the calories of the meatball sub, and is the leanest option on the menu. If you find yourself with an uncontrollable craving for Italian meatballs, binge on episodes of The Sopranos instead.
