Jimmy John's Menu: Healthiest Giant Club Sandwiches
The Jimmy John's menu is streamlined and refined to make it as easy as possible for the employees to make your sub and send you on your merry way as quickly as possible. While it's possible to go completely overboard (the JJ Gargantuan contains more than 1,100 calories), you can also get in and out without ruining your diet. A good tip is to stick with the "slims" and load up on free vegetables like onion, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, hot peppers, and sprouts that add flavor without the fat, but if nothing but a Giant Club will serve, there are some things to keep in mind. Remember that getting provolone on your sandwich adds 9 grams of fat, but if you tell them to go "EZ" on it they'll only add 4.5 grams' worth. Mayo also adds about 20 grams of fat to every sandwich, so go easy on that as well.
