Subway keto Hero Bread sandwich - Subway low carb bread

Have you seen all the keto items on Subway’s new menu? 😍

Subway offers a helpful nutrition and dining guide, as well as customizable menu options, but it always helps to have a little keto help from someone who’s been where you are when you’re wondering what to order–especially since they released some all-new menu items. 🙌

The best thing about Subway? You can make any sandwich into a salad, which gives you easy options for ordering low-carb and keeping things very keto-friendly. And not only that, when you order online, you can also use Subway’s Nutrition Calculator to add and subtract menu items as you order & find which ones are the best for you!

And for very select locations, Subway low carb bread is back on the menu!

Subway recently started serving up keto bread with only 1g net carbs. 😱 It’s called Hero Bread, and according to Hip team member Emily, Subway’s low carb bread doesn’t disappoint.

Here’s what she said about it:

“It was good, almost like regular bread, just a little chewier. But probably some of the best keto bread I’ve tried. Hopefully, they expand the Hero Bread to everywhere!” – Emily

While it doesn’t look like Subway’s low carb Hero Bread is available to order online yet, you can find out if there are participating locations near you by using their store locator. This bread only appears to be available in select locations in Savannah, GA; Des Moines, IA; Colorado Springs, CO; and Boise, ID.

Can’t find Subway’s low carb bread? Subway keto salads are packed with protein!

If you can’t find Subway’s low carb bread, the company also added Protein Bowls as a menu option. Now you can order any of the chain’s Footlong Subs in this new format. They come with the same portion of protein, vegetables, cheese, and sauce as the restaurant’s famous Footlong Subs, but without all of the carbs and sugar associated with Subway’s bread!

They also overhauled their menu to include new smashed avocado, fresh BelGioioso mozzarella cheese, and plenty of other keto-friendly menu items to give us even more options. 🙌

The basics of successful Subway keto ordering:

  • Stick with the salads or protein bowls.
  • Avoid bread, flatbreads, wraps, cookies, and chips
  • If ordering bread, try to order Subways low carb Hero bread.
  • When in doubt, leave dressings and toppings out.
  • For drinks, stick with water, unsweetened iced tea, or Diet Coke products.
  • If the menu says “sugar-free”, check the nutrition guide anyway.
  • Download the free Subway app for keto deals.

Here’s how to order keto at Subway:
