Subway Honey Oat Bread Nutritional Information

At Subway, you can customize a healthy, nutritious sandwich, layering it with your favorite lean meats, and packing it full of fresh vegetables on your choice of bread. You might think that choosing one of the wheat bread options, including the Honey Oat roll, is far better than asking for the original Italian roll. As it turns out, most of Subway's rolls are quite similar in nutritional content. The Honey Oat roll may appear to be one of the best choices, with its golden brown color and crunchy honey and oat topping. However, if you are concerned about your sugar intake, you may want to consider the ingredients in a Honey Oat roll first. Other breads, including the original Italian roll and the 9-Grain Wheat roll, may be better choices for you.
