Jimmy John's vs Potbelly Nutrition Compared
Change either order and watch the difference move. Compared as served, not per 100 g — portions differ between chains, and that difference is part of the answer.
Start from
What’s in this order?
The chain's standard turkey sandwich at its standard size — Subway's 6", Jimmy John's 8" French, Potbelly's Original — on white bread with what that chain puts on as standard. Potbelly's comes with Swiss, which is why its protein runs higher; the others are turkey only. Potbelly publishes its sandwiches with the bread removed, so the loaf is added back here.
Jimmy John's publishes a separate set of figures for each bread, so this decides which sandwiches and which add-on portions apply.
