At Port of Subs, ordering the right sandwich number is only the beginning of the nutrition calculation.
The same Classic Sub can come as a 5-inch Small, 8-inch Medium, 12-inch Large, 24-inch X-Large, wheat wrap, lettuce wrap, or salad. Bread choice and toppings can change the finished order again.
That makes sub number + serving format + size the most useful way to calculate a Port of Subs meal.
Use the Port of Subs Nutrition Calculator above to select the exact sandwich, size, bread or wrap format, toppings, side, dessert, and drink you order.
Start With the Sub Number
Port of Subs currently organizes its core cold sandwiches into 18 numbered Classic Subs .
Examples include:
#1: Ham, Salami, Capicolla, Pepperoni and Provolone
#2: Ham, Turkey and Provolone
#6: Three cheeses and avocado
#8: Turkey and Provolone
#9: Peppered Pastrami and Swiss
#10: Roasted Chicken Breast and Provolone
#17: Tuna Salad with your choice of cheese
#18: Roast Beef, Turkey and Provolone
Do not calculate all turkey, ham, salami, or roast beef subs from one generic deli-sandwich value.
Choose the exact numbered recipe first.
Size Changes More Than the Bread Length
Port of Subs publishes separate nutrition for:
5" Small
8" Medium
12" Large
24" X-Large
The meat, cheese, bread and default toppings are portioned for the selected sandwich size.
That means you should use the actual published serving rather than multiplying a 5-inch sandwich by a simple mathematical factor.
Classic Sub #1 Shows Why Size Matters
Using the current nutrition information linked by Port of Subs, Classic Sub #1 contains approximately:
|
Size |
Calories |
Protein |
Carbs |
|
5" Small |
420 |
24g |
41g |
|
8" Medium |
640 |
35g |
65g |
|
12" Large |
920 |
50g |
96g |
|
24" X-Large |
1,840 |
99g |
192g |
These values represent the standard recipe on white bread with the default meat, cheese and toppings.
If you change the bread or toppings, your final nutrition may differ.
The Default Toppings Are Already Part of a Standard Classic Sub
Port of Subs currently describes its Classic Subs as served with:
Lettuce
Tomato
Onion
Vinegar
Oil
Salt
Oregano
on your choice of bread.
The official nutrition menu says its listed standard sub values use white bread and include the default meat, cheese and toppings.
This is important because you should not add those default components a second time when using the complete sandwich nutrition.
Only adjust the total when you customize the standard recipe.
Bread Choice Should Be a Customization
Current Port of Subs menu options include breads such as:
White
Wheat
Sourdough
with additional breads available in some locations or data sets.
Bread contributes a large share of a sub's carbohydrates and calories.
For example, the same filling on a different bread should not automatically retain the exact same nutrition.
A strong calculator should let you:
Choose sub → choose size → choose bread → customize toppings
rather than create hundreds of disconnected sandwich records.
Wheat Does Not Automatically Make the Whole Sandwich Low Calorie
Switching from white to wheat bread changes the bread's nutrition profile, but the finished sub still contains its meat, cheese, oil, dressing, and other ingredients.
The bread choice is only one part of the meal.
Compare the entire finished sandwich rather than judging it from the bread name alone.
Lettuce Wraps Change the Format Dramatically
Port of Subs lets customers order Classic Subs as lettuce wraps.
The brand currently promotes this option as saving about 300 calories compared with the standard sandwich format.
That makes the serving format a major calculator decision.
A Classic Sub #8 on bread and Classic Sub #8 in lettuce are still based on the same sandwich concept, but their carbohydrate and calorie totals differ substantially.
Classic Sub #8 Is a Good Example
The standard turkey and Provolone Classic Sub #8 can be ordered as a regular sub or lettuce wrap.
The current official nutrition data lists the 5-inch Small standard #8 at approximately:
360 calories
26g protein
43g carbohydrates
while the lettuce-wrap version is approximately:
260 calories
28g protein
10g carbohydrates .
The sandwich identity remains the same, but removing the bread changes the carbohydrate profile considerably.
Wheat Wraps Are Another Distinct Format
Port of Subs also allows Classic Subs to be ordered as wheat wraps.
A wheat wrap should not use the calorie value of the 5-inch, 8-inch, or 12-inch bread-based sandwich.
The official nutrition system publishes wrap nutrition separately.
The calculator should therefore ask:
Sub
then:
Bread Sub | Wheat Wrap | Lettuce Wrap | Salad
before calculating the final order.
A Salad Can Be Based on Your Favorite Classic Sub
Port of Subs currently lets customers turn a Classic Sub into a salad.
That gives the restaurant an unusual nutrition structure.
A #2 salad still carries the ham, turkey and cheese identity of Classic Sub #2, but without the standard bread.
This should be modeled as a format conversion , not as an unrelated salad.
A useful flow is:
Choose Classic Sub → Convert to Salad → Choose Dressing
Dressing Needs Its Own Calculation
Port of Subs offers Garden, Spinach, Caesar, Chef, Tuna and chicken-based salads.
Some salads come with a specified dressing, while others let the customer choose.
The dressing can contribute a meaningful amount of calories, fat, sodium or sugar.
If the published salad nutrition excludes dressing, add the selected dressing separately.
If the standard nutrition already includes it, do not add the same serving twice.
Hot Subs Need Their Own Recipe Records
Port of Subs also has a separate hot-sandwich menu.
Current core Hot Subs include:
All-American Club
Gourmet Grilled Cheese
Ultimate BLT
Meatball Marinara
Chicken Melt
Teriyaki Chicken Melt
Buffalo Chicken Melt
BBQ Chicken Melt
Pastrami Melt
New York Steak Melt at select locations .
These are complete recipes and should not be calculated from Classic Sub numbers.
Chicken Melt Flavors Change More Than the Name
Port of Subs currently offers several versions of its grilled chicken melt.
The standard Chicken Melt uses grilled chicken and Provolone.
Teriyaki adds Sweet Teriyaki sauce.
Buffalo adds Buffalo sauce.
BBQ adds BBQ sauce.
The added sauce can change carbohydrates, sugar and sodium even when the chicken and cheese remain similar.
Use the exact named melt.
Buffalo Chicken Can Be Especially High in Sodium
The current official nutrition data shows that sauce selection can materially affect sodium.
For example, the 8-inch Grilled Chicken Melt is published at roughly 1,700mg sodium , while the 8-inch Buffalo version is around 3,950mg .
That is a much larger difference than the calorie totals alone suggest.
For Port of Subs, sodium deserves to remain visible beside calories and macros.
Chicken Cordon Bleu Is a Current Limited-Time Product
Some Port of Subs locations currently feature a Chicken Cordon Bleu Sub made with grilled chicken, ham, Swiss cheese and honey mustard.
Because it is promotional rather than one of the permanent numbered Classic Subs, it should be stored under:
Current Limited-Time
with an availability or review date.
When the promotion ends, it should move to a historical section rather than remain permanently mixed into the core menu.
Turkey Bacon Avocado Has Its Own Recipe
The current specialty menu includes Turkey, Bacon & Avocado with Provolone .
This should not be estimated using Classic Sub #8 simply because both contain turkey and Provolone.
Bacon and avocado create a different finished recipe.
Keep it as a separate specialty sandwich.
Turkey Bacon Ranch Wrap Is Not a Converted Classic Sub
The current Turkey Bacon Ranch Wrap contains turkey, bacon and ranch dressing inside a wheat tortilla.
It is a named specialty wrap, not simply one of the numbered Classic Subs converted to wheat.
Use its own published nutrition.
Grilled Chicken Caesar Wrap Is Also a Complete Recipe
The current Grilled Chicken Caesar Wrap combines:
Grilled chicken
Lettuce
Parmesan
Caesar dressing
Wheat tortilla .
The dressing and Parmesan are already part of the standard recipe.
Do not rebuild it as plain grilled chicken plus a generic tortilla unless the customer modifies the sandwich.
Breakfast Needs Bread and Protein Choice
Port of Subs currently lists breakfast favorites such as:
Peppered Bacon, Egg & Cheese
Smoked Ham, Egg & Cheese
Sausage, Egg & Cheese .
The choice of bacon, ham or sausage changes the nutrition, and the bread or wrap format can change it again.
Breakfast should therefore use:
Breakfast recipe → size or wrap → cheese/bread customization
rather than one generic breakfast-sub value.
Sausage, Egg & Cheese Can Become a Large Meal
The nutrition database includes approximately:
5" Sausage, Egg & Cheese: 690 calories
8" Sausage, Egg & Cheese: 1,090 calories.
That illustrates why breakfast sandwich size needs to be displayed prominently.
An 8-inch breakfast sub should not be mistaken for a small breakfast sandwich.
Sides Should Be Added After the Sandwich
Current Port of Subs side options include:
Chips
Macaroni Salad
Potato Salad
and location-specific packaged choices.
These are separate from the standard Classic Sub nutrition.
If you order a sandwich with a side, calculate:
Sub + side
rather than assuming the side is included in the sandwich number.
Box Lunches Need All Three Components
Current catering menus offer Small and Medium Box Lunches.
The current format includes:
5" or 8" Classic Sub
Chips
Cookie .
That means a box lunch does not have one universal calorie value.
The total depends on the numbered sandwich and the exact chip and cookie selections.
The calculator should build the box instead of using one fixed number.
Cookies and Brownies Are Substantial Extras
Current Port of Subs desserts include:
Chocolate Chunk Cookie
White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookie
Oatmeal Raisin Cookie
Brownie .
Available nutrition data shows many of these desserts contain several hundred calories each.
If you add one to a sub meal, it should be included separately.
Catering Nutrition Should Be Clearly Separated
Port of Subs has an extensive catering menu with:
2-Foot Subs
6-Foot Party Subs
Sub trays
Wrap trays
Lettuce wrap trays
Large salads
Meat and cheese trays
Dessert trays
and packages designed for groups.
These are not normal individual restaurant servings.
A catering item intended for 10 to 25 guests should never appear beside a 5-inch sandwich as though both represent one person's meal.
NutritionSolver should separate:
Individual Menu
from:
Catering & Group Orders .
A 24-Inch Sub Also Needs Portion Context
The official nutrition menu includes a 24-inch X-Large format for Classic Subs.
For example, the standard Classic Sub #1 is approximately 1,840 calories for the full 24-inch sandwich .
If the sandwich is shared, the useful nutrition is the portion eaten.
The calculator should offer:
Whole
1/2
1/3
1/4
or a custom fraction for large sandwiches.

Then choose the serving format:
5" Small
8" Medium
12" Large
24" X-Large
Wheat Wrap
