Their subs have more meat and more sauces than Subway's subs and they are scared sh*tless of Subway running an advertising campaign saying that Subaway subs have an average of 30% less fat and calories than Quiznos, or something to that effect. I personally eat there rarely because I have been dieting and strictly count calories, but intuitively when you know what kind of meat is on the sub, and how much sauce or whatever is on it, you can guesstimate what you're looking at calorie wise. There is no way that 1/3 of a sub and the chips or especially the salad (unless maybe it's the angus beef with double meat or something extreme) could be nearly as bad as a BK or a McDonalds value meal, or eating at Pizza Hut or something like that. I would even hazard to guess that the normal 2/3 sandwich thing and chips that most people order would be, at worst, comparable to the Big Mac value meal, etc. I think the real problem is not that the food is exceptionally caloric, but that Quiznos wants to shirk any direct comparison to Subway and Subway wouldn't allow them to duck the comparison. In releasing their nutritional information any business they would gain from health nuts would be lost many times over by current customers choosing Subway instead, once Subway harps on how much lower in calories their subs are.<BR/><BR/>"Here's why Quizno's wanting to keep their calories a secret doesn't make sense to me: A potential customer that counts calories (or other data) might eat a company's product after they check the nutrition data, but won't eat it if they discover the company won't reveal the data. Sure, most people don't care and don't check, but others do and those people aren't eating at Quizno's. Isn't that bad for business? And there are a lot of people who check nutrition info before they eat; a half million a month on my web site alone."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9437268.post-1143673328575875572006-03-29T18:02:00.000-05:002006-03-29T18:02:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9437268.post-1141864027351952152006-03-08T19:27:00.000-05:002006-03-08T19:27:00.000-05:00Parke, I too am glad you created this, I am very f...Parke, I too am glad you created this, I am very frustrated that the nutrition information is not available at Quizno's. At nearly every other restaurant I am able to find nutritional information but Quizno's makes no effort to provide this to their customers. That said I am no longer a customer of Quizno's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9437268.post-1137370227657467052006-01-15T19:10:00.000-05:002006-01-15T19:10:00.000-05:00Hi Parke.

The fact that they won't share this information had led me to avoid eating there altogether.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9437268.post-1134153578108748332005-12-09T13:39:00.000-05:002005-12-09T13:39:00.000-05:00Major new discovery: Quizno's Australian web site ...Major new discovery: Quizno's Australian web site has nutritional information.
