  • Quizno's Question

    Ok. So I forgot my lunch again today and I was looking at the options that we have around here and it looks like we have a Quizno's and they have a low carb menu. I wasn't going to eat the flatbread sandwiches but I was thinking about the salads and they have one on there that they "say" has zero net carbs. How can this be???

    Roadhouse Ranch Salad
    Thinly sliced roast beef is topped with BBQ sauce, bacon, cheddar cheese and spices and is placed on Quiznos Sub own Salad Blend with vine-ripened cherry tomatoes. Quiznos Creamy Ranch dressing is served on the side. (-1 Grams Net Carbohydrates)*

    We believe it to be false advertising and that they are simply lying about it. Quiznos as far as I know has yet to comment on the misinformation.

      I love the quiznos salads. I order the roadhouse ranch without the barbeque sauce. Pretty much what you get is hot roast beef with melted cheese, tomatoes, bacon, and lettuce. Or the chicken salad (can't remember the name). I get that with ranch dressing instead of the honey mustard it comes with. I think they are a nice change from some of the cold salads I eat everyday.

        I wouldn't trust that at all. Figure out the net carbs to the ingredients...

        Cherry tomatoes: 1 net carb per tomato
        Cheddar cheese: 1 net carb per ounce
        BBQ sauce: you can only guess how many carbs are in it, but I guarantee it isn't 0.
        lettuce: 0.5 net carbs per 1/2 cup.

        Again, I don't know how they came up with -1 net grams....

        Here's an interesting article about Quiznos and their refusal to reveal their nutritional info beyond "net carbs"...
