How to Eat Healthy at Quizno's

Fast food is not known for its nutritional value as much as it is for its taste and convenience. If you decide to eat out at a fast food restaurant, you can do yourself a nutritional favor by choosing the most healthy food they offer. Comparing nutritional information about the items on the Quizno's Sub menu, can prepare you to order the most healthy food.
