Big Mama’s Meatball Sandwich from Potbelly
Truthfully, when you look at a meatball sub, it does not scream “healthy.” After all, it is an indulgent feast, with the meatballs, decadent sauce, and amount of cheese a lot of places put on them. And Potbelly is not a stranger to any of that, especially if you end up ordering their big-sized sandwich on white bread.
The reason why this one is so unhealthy is that you can never be sure that the meatballs are made from lean meat as they are often made with fattier cuts of pork or beef, and you never know what else they include. Not to mention, the sauce is salty, and everything put together is a calorie bomb.
You can, of course, enjoy a meatball sub, but in a smaller size and hopefully with lean, white meat for the meatballs. If you’re looking for a healthy option at Potbelly’s, we recommend you get the Turkey Break and Swiss, with multigrain bread and as many of your favorite veggies as possible!

In my opinion, any sub with words like Gargantuan or Giant in the name is a red flag. A normal person could make two or three (more?) reasonably-sized sandwiches out of that behemoth.
All the fast food places make their sandwiches too big. I love the Arby’s Ruben, but I can only eat half of it. Wake up fast food. Bigger is not better.
I used to ALWAYS cut my fast food sandwiches in half. Now I cut them in fourths ! And I add PLENTLY OF WON’T POWER/WILL POWER to myself. 😀😃🙂🙃
Next time get a non Vegan or non Vegetarian to write this. I enjoy any of these sandwiches or subs but do not eat them every day. Anything in moderation.
AMEN!!!!!!
