Jersey Mike's Menu Calories: Every Sub, Lightest to Heaviest

Here is every numbered sub from lightest to heaviest at regular size, with the mini and giant alongside where they are offered.

The lightest regular is the #64 Portabella Mushroom & Swiss at 620 calories, followed closely by the #16 Chicken Philly at 660. Surprisingly, all five of the lightest regulars are on the hot board, because grilled meat with onions and peppers is leaner than cured meats with oil and mayo.

The heaviest regulars are the #9 Club Supreme (1,160), #8 Club Sub (1,150) and #10 Tuna Fish (1,050), all driven by mayonnaise, plus the #43 Chipotle Cheese Steak (1,000), driven by chipotle mayo. At giant size, the Club Supreme reaches 2,210 calories, the single heaviest item on the menu.

The Veggie is a common surprise. At 880 calories for a regular it is heavier than several meat subs, because it carries extra cheese and the oil from the Mike's Way finish.

Looking at the menu section by section shows where the calories cluster. These ranges are for regular subs on white bread:

Most people assume a cheese steak is the indulgent choice, but the published Jersey Mike's menu calories say otherwise. The Famous Philly (730) is lighter than the Original Italian (930), and the Chicken Philly (660) is lighter than Turkey & Provolone (800).

The reason is what goes on top. Cold subs are finished with an olive oil blend and often carry several cured meats, which are dense in fat. Cheese steaks are grilled meat, onions, peppers and one cheese, with no oil splash and no mayo unless the sub calls for it. The exceptions prove the rule: the moment chipotle mayo or ranch goes on, as on the Chipotle Cheese Steak or Chicken Bacon Ranch, the hot subs climb right back up.

Here is how a few common orders add up, using the published figures. Most people order a regular with chips and a drink, which is where a 900-calorie sub becomes a 1,300-calorie lunch.

A mini carries roughly 55 to 60 percent of a regular's calories, not the two-thirds you might expect, because the filling shrinks less than the roll. A giant is close to double a regular. So a regular #7 Turkey & Provolone is 800 calories, the mini 470 and the giant 1,520.

Hot subs and cheese steaks start at regular, so the lightest way to eat them is a regular rather than a mini. For a full size-by-size guide, see <a href="/jersey-mikes-sub-sizes-and-prices/">Jersey Mike's sub sizes and prices</a>.

The extras are where the Jersey Mike's menu calories quietly climb. A bag of chips is 220 calories, a fountain drink about 200, a bottled drink 240, a chocolate chip cookie 380 and a brownie 420. Kids meals use a kid-size sub at about 400 calories.

Put together, chips, a fountain drink and a cookie add 800 calories, more than a mini sub and close to a whole regular. If you are watching calories, the extras are the first thing to drop.

If you want fewer calories without changing your sub, change the format. A Sub in a Tub serves all the fillings in a bowl without the roll and removes about 290 calories from a regular, at the same price. A wrap adds about 20, so it is a texture choice rather than a lighter one.

Bread choice matters less. Rosemary Parm adds about 45 calories to a regular; Udi's gluten-free bread takes about 55 off a regular and 110 off a giant, for about $1.50 and $3 more.
