I think it’s the bread that people like. The rest is just deli meat and veggies. Apparently you can go there and just buy the footlong bread for a dollar or so.

Subways a load of shit as mentioned for people trying to eat healthy /strict
Footlongs are packed with carbs. Even a six inch has about the carb intake of 4 slices of bread. That's just in the bread alone. Add meats, sauces, you're a carb crammed whore.

Yep. Deli cuts are a pretty low bar for ‘healthy food’.
The bread is what I think makes it get old pretty quick if you try and eat it even semi regularly. I like it but only buy it like once every 3 months.
I haven’t had it for a year or so. I was craving a meatball sub a few days ago but resisted. Sodium, carbs etc are through the roof. Worse than most fast food.
Yeah I only ate it a bit regularly years ago for a short period when it was one of only a few lunch places near a work site. You get tired of it very quickly. Which is funny because a normal non fast food bun with salad, deli meats and a sauce I could probably eat for a very long time before getting sick of it, if at all.
I find it all pretty expensive. If a treat on your own it’s not too bad I guess. For a family, I find McDonald’s and Wendy’s (burger chain over here) probably have the best deals.
Something like Indian or Chinese is better value though because you usually have leftovers.

Really digging the spicy chipotle Angus burger from HJ's at the moment. Comes with fried jalepenos and a piece of bacon. Definitely recommend if you haven't tried it yet.

Don't do take-away much these days as none of it is really that good and anything that tastes great is so unhealthy and gets costly for a family. I have weened the missus and kids off Maccas, they used to have it once a week/fortnight. Now maybe once a school term - kids don't actually enjoy it, they just enjoy the idea of having it - so often half of it goes uneaten (or i finish it as I hate waste) but get their happy meal toy. The family box deal is good if on a road trip and need a quick bite to eat. If we do get takeaway at home for dinner its usually local Pizza home delivery.
If I get take-away for lunch it will usually be a Vietnamese pork roll, probably get that once a fortnight. Subway very occasionally and sushi every now and then. Couple of Dim-sims for the odd snack.

Maccas and hungry jacks have upped their prices majorly. A year ago if that I was paying $10.50 for a large qtr pounder meal. Payed $11.95 today. Massive increase in 12months. KFC easily the best deals. 3 piece feed is cheaper than a nasty qtr pounder meal.

Virtually never. Preparing meals is pretty ingrained. If I'm going to be out of the house for more than 6 hours I'll probably bring something along. I've never been much of a restaurant person either, more of a social obligation than something I actively seek out. My brother was a chef, so we are very different in that respect, he often cooks up lavish meals I've never had before whereas I'm fairly efficient (never have food waste or create a huge mess). I just don't care enough about food to spend big on it, more enthusiastic about other things in life.
If there is a solid, affordable pizza/fish n chips/asian takeway nearby, then I might get into a once in a blue moon pattern, but that's about it.

When I was in Melbourne fast food was a Pho for lunch a few days a week
What's wrong with carbs ?
Do you even lift?
If you have to ask you wont understand
I usually divide carbs into shit carbs and good carbs but everyone does their own maths

Nothing.
He was saying carbs are bad when they are not. I wanted to hear the reasoning.

that is what happens when you go from a small bakery in Sunshine with a few shops to a massive mass produced place in Geelong
Maccas is a Rip, just paid 5.10 for a large coffee. HJs just use the vouchers. Honestly best value for burgers is local fish n chip shop
A Nando's wrap and a seriously large peri peri chips is my go to treat, delicious, if only they had Milkshakes it'd be perfect.
Correct.
I used to eat subway on the odd occasion, have totally gone off it though, as you mentioned the bakeries taste better and are cheaper.
