Check calories and macros for Publix Deli items.
Publix Deli is famous for its legendary 'Pub Subs' and fried chicken tenders, but these deli sandwiches can easily feed two people in a single sitting. Knowing how to customize your sub is the key to managing your macros.
This calculator helps you build your Publix sub step by step, letting you compare chicken tenders against turkey and see the exact totals.
A whole Publix sub is massive and contains a large amount of bread. Choosing a half (six-inch) sub on whole wheat is a much better portion choice, providing fiber and saving carbohydrates.
The famous chicken tender sub is very calorie-dense due to the breaded and fried tenders. Choosing sliced turkey breast, chicken breast, or roast beef keeps the protein high without the heavy fat. For example, the Rotisserie Chicken (Whole) is a top protein pick with 154g of protein.
Deli sides are mayonnaise-based and very rich. Swapping them for a side of fresh fruit or sharing a small bag of baked chips is a simple way to keep your lunch balanced.
