When I was diagnosed with "pre-hypertension", I started watching out for sodium in foods.
My first instinct instead of my usual fast food was to grab something I thought was healthy, and should at least be better than say McDonalds.
I got a Subway sub and while eating it was checking out the nutrition info guides they have lying around. Oh my God, the Sodium is through the roof!
A 6-inch turkey breast has 1000 mg of Sodium. If you get the foot long of course, that's 2000.
A large order of McDonald's fries only has 350 mg.
If your goal is a diet and watching calories, you're probably much better off with Subway (although you should still limit your portions). But, be careful if you have high blood pressure - it might not be as healthy as you think.
If you search the web on "subway sodium" you'll find a lot of similar reports.
