Which Subs Have the Most Protein?
Ranking by total protein rewards the biggest subs, which is not useful if you are also watching calories. Ranking by protein per calorie tells you which sub is working hardest.
Most total protein
The hot subs lead, because grilled steak and chicken portions are heavier than sliced deli portions. Cheesesteaks and chicken cheesesteaks top the board, followed by the double-meat cold subs like the Club Supreme.
Best protein per calorie
Roast Beef and Provolone is the standout. Lean top round carries a high protein load without the fat that comes with cured meats, so it delivers more per calorie than anything else on the cold board.
Turkey and Provolone is close behind. Grilled chicken subs perform well too, though the sauces attached to most of them erode the advantage.
How to push it higher
Double meat is a paid upgrade and the most direct route. Ordering in a tub raises the ratio sharply by removing the roll without touching the filling. Skipping mayo-based sauces protects it.
