Do you get a cheesesteak and hold the cheese?

I don't usually eat steak subs but yes, I would hold the cheese.


Now, if it's on there, I'm not going to throw it out or think it's awful but I wouldn't order it.


But if it's chicken, I want cheese on it, at least in most cases.

Well if you ever go to a good Philly cheesesteak place, try it with cheese, preferably sharp provolone.

This is correct. DJ has been right more in the past few days more than he has the last 10 yrs combined. It's throwing me off. Post something wrong please.

Brian Matusz would be successful if we just gave him a full season to start again.

Potbelly does get mad respect for having a quality Pizza Sub on the menu.

Chain places are awful but I do enjoy firehouse.

I try not to when I can. That's a good 60-80 calories saved.

 

Calories are way over-rated... they don't mean what people think they mean...

 

 [The original use of calories] had nothing to do with food, but rather scientific measurement. As it was first defined in the English language in 1863, a calorie is “the unit of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water from 0 to 1°C at 1 atmosphere pressure.” Not an easy equation to relate to what we eat.

 

This is how calories came to be determined in food: A piece of food is massed, set inside the calorimeter and ignited. A tray with 1 gram of water sits above the ignited food.  When the food is burned out, experts analyze the temperature of the water - thus calories are determined. Go figure. Calories, in a sense, is the push behind the energy that we get from foods, kind of like the torque from gasoline passed on to the pistons in an engine; it really don’t have weight.

 

The word calorie as a food unit was adopted and later harnessed as the marker by which we determine how our food intake amasses weight on our bodies. It was publicly introduced as a dieting unit by a Los Angeles physician, Dr. Lulu Hunt Peters, in her book published in 1918.

...

People make the effort to count calories or carbs, and it’s not only a nuisance, but it’s unrealistic. It’s much more sensible and easier to make choices…if you are gaining weight, you are more likely eating the wrong foods!

 

Losing or gaining weight is all about how much fat is retained from foods, and this fat least of all comes from the saturated fat we consume. Fat primarily accumulates by the intake of the wrong sugars and refined foods that convert to glucose, and subsequently converts to fat; a normal biological process.   Something as simple as fruit juice can and will put on the pounds, not to mention the triglycerides, if exercise isn’t employed right after it’s consumed.

 

French research scientist Michel Montignac and author of books such as “Eat Yourself Slim” and “The French Diet”, states that “epidemiological studies show that there is no correlation between calorie intake and obesity.” Instead, obesity is based on the intake and conversion of glucose in your system

The problem is not high-fat food... the problem is high-fat-and-high-sugar (gluscose) food.   Another part of the problem is that the scientists who do research about this stuff generally are not nutritionists... and thus reach goofy conclusions, presummably because they start out with the same wrong assumptions we all tend to have...

 

HFHS became obese, while HF remained at the same body weight as control.  The authors tried to stretch it to 1) exonerate (or not fully condemn) HS, and 2) put HF in the same ballpark as HFHS.  Things look differently when the conclusions are viewed with the data posted right next to them. 

...

So I’m not really sure why the authors interpreted these data to mean that HF was worse than HS and almost bad as HFHS.  This is categorically untrue.  A case of lipophobia?  Or perhaps it’s what you get when a bunch of neuroscientists try to conduct [and interpret!] a study about nutrition.

Mashed Potatoes doesn't do cheese either. I think you all are crazy. Quiznos is the only one I've had and that was years ago. Just not a chain sandwich guy I guess.
