Jimmy John's Breakdown

May 9, 2007

If you've ever experienced Jimmy John's, home of the world's greatest gourmet sandwich, you've probably enjoyed it. I even find myself craving a sandwich from there every once in a while...

Problem is those sandwiches may seem healthy with all their sprouts and lettuce spilling out, but they are however, quite the opposite. So, not to ruin your fun, but I've broken down the most popular Jimmy John's sandwiches for you in this breakdown.

Sandwich	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbs (g)	Sodium (mg)
#4 Turkey Tom	554	26	53	1341
#5 Billy Club	909	44	75	2326
#9 Italian Night Club	1017	57	76	2556
#12 Beach Club	838	41	76	1666
#13 Veggie Club	1141	70	78	1779

*All sandwiches are calculated with french bread as that is JJ's standard bread on all sandwiches.

Yikes! Can't live without a Jimmy John's fix but want to know how to make it healthier? Then read more

Customize your sammy. Each of the following items add the following amount of calories. Also, there is an option to "unwich" a sandwich and use a lettuce wrap rather than bread.

Item				Calories
Slice of Provolone Cheese				121
Mayo				228
French Bread				250
7-Grain Wheat Bread				388
Lettuce Wrap				11

Fit's Tip: Personally I would get the Turkey Tom with no mayo, which would give me only 326 calories rather than the whopping 554. Go the distance and get a Turkey Tom Unwich and feel free to add on a cookie and/or chips.

Just so people arent confused the Veggie Club is their "double sandwich" so it has twice the amount of cheese and their mayonnaise adds significant calories. Get the normal veggie (#6) with no cheese or mayonnaise and it comes to 285 calories.

#5 Billy Club?? I work at Jimmy John's and i could have sworn the Billy Club was the number 8 and the number 5 was the Vito. I could be wrong though, i have only been working there for 2 years

The site's "fitsugar", so I -hoped- to find out how much -sugar- is in a JJ sandwich..(the bread, the condiments, the sauces, even perhaps in the meats)..but it's -not here-! WHY FAT WONT MAKE YOU FAT: Fat satisfies the appetite, and you stop eating when you've had enough. THE PROBLEM IS SUGAR, ESPECiALLY HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP: It doesn't satisfy the appetite, so you keep eating, & 30% of it turns to fat. THE ONLY TIME FAT MAKES YOU FAT IS WHEN IT'S EATEN WITH SUGAR!

So I went to Jimmy John's and ordered the veggie in a lettuce wrap - and the people stared at me like I was cah-razy. But the calories in their sandwiches are astounding!! On their website you can also find all their calories listed, and you can click a type of sandwich, and actively take off ingredients and the calorie ratio is adjusted online. Neato, huh? :)

I abso-love JJ! When I lived in IL, there were a lot of JJ's but now that I'm in TN, the closest one is in Nashville! Ugh, I need to get to JJ's. My fave is the #7 with cucumbers, provolone and avocado spread!

I don't understand how the veggie can have SEVENTY grams of fat. Don't they put the same amount of mayo and cheese on it as on the others?

i love JJ! they deliver right to my lazy rear in my office chair. and i've discovered they're happy to go light on the mayo if you don't want to leave it off altogether.

I love Jimmy Johns! The beach club is my favorite and I can definitely live w/o the mayo on it, since I'm not a big mayo fan anymore after thinking about how unhealthy it is. I can also go without the cheese on it, hopefully that will bring the calories way down!

The #11 is my favorite and I wouldn't care if it was 1000 calories I'd stille eat occasionally it's too good.

#13 is also my favorite--I had one the other day while I was writing the last paper of my college career. I did realize that with the provolone and the mayonaise, that it was an indulgence--but I didn't realize how much of one it was!

OMG. The #13 was my absolute fave. I can't believe it's the fattest, most caloric one!!! For shame!!!

The local Fox channel here (the one that plays american idol not fox news) has been doing a series on whether or not a person can look at food and tell if it is healthier (much like fit does with the breakdowns), and last night they had an apple harvest salad from i don't remember where now, which had like 1200 some calories and 72 grams of fat. the most 'healthy' (based on fat and calories) was a burger king double cheese burger on the tv segment, but then she had a table of food -smoked turkey samich from ABP, PBJ from PotBelly, chips and guac from Chipotle, double cheeseburger from BK, Apple Harvest salad from i don't know where and sirloin dinner with artichoke spinach stuff and another side from Boston Market....the full meal from Boston market had jsut under 500 calories and less fat than everything! blew my mind. I have decided not to eat out but on rare/special occassions. otherwise the whole dieting thing is impossible!

There's an awesome website that you can check calories/fat/protein and WW points on, that is similar to what is listed here. I almost always check it before I go out to eat, so that I have an idea of what is better for me to order. http://www.dwlz.com/restaurants.html They have the entire Jimmy John's menu on there, plus a ton of other major restaurants.
