Potbelly vs Subway Nutrition Compared

Change either order and watch the difference move.

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, Firehouse's medium — 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. Firehouse's medium is the middle of three sizes it publishes in full, not a scaled figure.
