What is your go-to sub sandwich order? 
Mine is a 6” BMT on Italian bread, with Provolone-toasted. Toppings: a little bit of lettuce, onions, pepperoncinis, pickles, black olives, mayo, red wine vinegar, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper…and I always add a few potato chips from my bag into the sandwich myself!
That order packs a mean 563 calories and only has 22 grams of protein! That is only 15% protein! and if you know Fit Foodie Chicks, you know that just won’t cut it.
I just knew I had to make a more macro friendly version, and at 29% protein, I think I did it!
You can customize the veggies without changing the macros significantly, and if you are not a mayo lover like me, subbing 1/4 Tbs. of olive oil instead will be practically identical macros as well. As for the potato chips, well, I had to leave them out, but sometimes, if I have the room in my macros, it is totally worth logging those separately to add that salty crunch!
