Subway Tuna Salad (6-inch base): ~330 calories, 20g protein, 24g fat, 9g carbs. That fat number looks scary until you remember it’s mostly from the mayo and the natural oils in the fish. Healthy fats are your brain’s best friend.
For comparison, the Subway Chicken Teriyaki Salad is around 300 calories, and the Veggie Delite is about 230. Tuna sits comfortably in the middle: rich enough to feel like a treat, light enough not to weigh you down.
One more fun fact: A six-inch tuna sub with bread and cheese clocks in at around 530 calories. So by going salad, you save 200 calories—enough for a square of dark chocolate later. Priorities, people.

The Entourage Factor: What to Pair It With
Add a side of apple slices (35 calories) and an unsweetened iced tea (0 calories). You’ll have a lunch that’s crunchy, savory, sweet, and hydrating. It’s the Friends cast of meals—each element brings something different to the table.
Avoid the chips and cookies unless you’re training for a marathon or writing a very long article. Those add 150–200 calories in a blink. If you must snack, get the Sun Chips in the small bag (about 150 calories) and savor every salty crunch.
Remember: The tuna salad is the star. Don’t let the sidekicks steal the show.
