According to Anthony Conza, founder and president of Blimpie Subs & Salads, "At Blimpie, we're completely obsessed with the quality of our food. I'm proud that our restaurants use only choice meats, freshly baked bread, real dairy cheese and the freshest produce in all our subs. One thing is absolutely clear when you compare our nutritional profile with that of other quick service restaurants: Blimpie wins on both taste and health.

Take the popular Blimpie Turkey Sub. Containing only 4.5 grams of fat, this tasty sandwich can satisfy even the greatest hunger, and it comprises only seven percent of the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of fat. With only 320 calories, the Blimpie Turkey Sub, with lettuce and tomato, is just one of the healthy sandwiches offered on the Blimpie menu. Not only low in fat, a Blimpie Turkey Sub is an excellent source of iron, an essential nutrient for young children, teenage girls and women.

Not a fan of turkey? Blimpie Subs & Salads locations have such a diverse menu that even the most finicky eater can find a sandwich they'll love. Roast beef, a long-time favorite of Americans, is often thought to have high fat and calorie counts. But a juicy Blimpie Roast Beef Sub has exactly the same fat content as a turkey sub-4.5 grams-and has only 340 calories per serving. So now roast beef zealots can have their sandwich and eat it, too.

"People today are trying to eat healthier foods while juggling the responsibilities of family, work and a social life," notes Conza. "They just don't have the time to prepare their own meals as in the past."

As Americans continually change their eating habits to include healthy and lighter fares, Blimpie Subs & Salads is prepared to match the change in dietary intake by offering the same delicious menu items that it has since its founding in 1964. (NAPSI)
