    Hm, depends what you're having!

    If you're looking to "gain" "healthy" weight try this:

    9grain honey and oat's bread with either:

    - Double stacked roast beef, turkey, ham, turkey/ ham, or subway club with cheese and either mayonaise/ or olive oil. Also adding olives/ fresh vegetables.

    Consume with chocolate milk, and baked chips/ soup.

    - Chicken sweet onion terryaki/ grilled chicken sub with cheese and either mayonaise/ olive oil/ or extra cheese. Also adding extra sweet onion terryaki sauce, olives/ fresh vegetables.

    Consume with chocolate milk and baked chips/ soup.

    Having it on a footlong sandwhich would be great too!

    Hope i'v helped, goodluck

    - Extra ideas on gaining weight healthily:

    Try nutritional supplements definatly, along with consumeing more dense foods!

    - Ensure Plus/ Boost Plus are great nutritional weight- gain supplements and are healthy with the benefit of probiotics/ omega 3's/ 8+ essential nutrients/ a source of calcium and protein!

    Consume either Ensure Plus, or Boost Plus twice per day, ontop of dailey regimes/ eatting- do not decrease.

    (Chocolate flavours taste best heated in a mug in the microwave- tastes like hot chocolate, other flavours taste best chille)

    Also try these dense food's!

    THAT is unhealthy. If you get a six inch sub that's on the 6 grams of fat or less menu, hold the cheese, and get wheat bread/no fattening sauces, it's healthy. One time I was behind two big women who were bragging on how they were making healthy choices eating at Subway. Each one had a footlong chicken bacon ranch...I almost just told them that was more calories than a big mac.

    Eating only, (or too regularly) food from one fast-food outlet is probably not the way to a healthy diet, whatever your objectives. They have their own business interests at heart before any health interests. I've seen parts of the bulk supply chain for Subway here in the UK up close, and it's not pretty. That said, there are many healthy combinations I could think of from Subway, you'd just have to think carefully and avoid their promo suggestions.

    Not all Subway food is healthy, but if you choose a sandwich meat rich in protein, ( such as the grilled chicken or turkey) on wheat bread and do without the mayo I would say it's healthy. Good luck with your weight gain!

    Fruits and vegetables have few calories, and they're easy to burn off w/ light exercise. And some vegetables like avocados are high in healthy fats.

    yes it is,basically all it is is just a sandwich but like anything too much of something can also be bad. you can still have it just burn it off after wards with a little workout or jog just remember dont eat it all the time just because its healthy.

    subway isn't 100% good for you because of the meat and dressing but if you get a veggie it could help you lose a couple of pounds.

    Don't load it up with dressing, and eat a non-white bread.

    It will be pretty good for you.

    Not great. But good.

    people say making your own food is healthier
