Firehouse Subs Nutrition Menu With Calories 2026
Are you diet-conscious and like to check the calories and nutrition of your food before eating? Don’t worry! Firehouse Subs’ nutrition menu gives you complete details. You can choose any sandwich, roll, soup, or salad based on your desired calorie intake and enjoy your meal without stress.
At Firehouse Subs, you’ll find both healthier picks like low-calorie and gluten-free meals, and heavier subs with more fat and sodium. While they do offer low-fat and low-sodium choices, many of the specialty subs are still on the rich side. And realistically, most people aren’t checking nutrition info while ordering.
To find the nutritional details of any food item, use the calculator below. It’s easy to use and helps you determine which foods match your diet.

Not every item on the Firehouse Subs nutrition menu is created equal in all terms. Some sandwiches offer a more balanced nutritional profile, while others are loaded with calories, fat, and sodium. As we sampled different subs, we paid close attention to both flavor and nutrient content. Here’s what we focused on:
Calories: Calorie counts vary widely on the Firehouse Subs menu. If you’re aiming to reduce your intake, portion control is key. We chose medium-sized subs to strike a balance between satisfaction and calorie count. Choosing lighter toppings also helped keep things in check.
Protein: Firehouse Subs stands out for its generous servings of high-quality meats. According to the Firehouse Subs nutrition menu, a single sub can provide anywhere from 20 to 50 grams of protein, depending on your choice. Options like smoked turkey and grilled chicken are perfect for those seeking lean protein sources to support an active lifestyle.
Carbohydrates: Since sandwiches dominate the Firehouse Subs menu, it’s no surprise that carbs come with the territory. Depending on the bread size, a regular sub can contain between 30 and 100 grams of carbohydrates. To reduce carbs, consider ordering your Sub as a salad without the bread.
Fat: Firehouse Subs loaded with cheese, mayo, and bacon tend to be high in fat. If you prefer a lighter option, opt for lean meats and fresh vegetables. Skipping heavy condiments or opting for veggie-based subs can help lower fat intake.
Sodium: Like most fast-casual spots, Firehouse Subs can be high in sodium. Some items have more than 2,000 mg—nearly your full day’s limit. If you’re trying to cut back, ask for less salt or avoid processed meats. Healthier choices are available, so be sure to explore the menu.
Use the table below to identify the more nutritious choices quickly. Items labeled “high-calorie” are typically higher in sodium, fat, and overall calories.

Subs are super convenient, but grabbing one from Firehouse Subs means you’re not in charge of what goes into it. Their ingredients tend to pack more calories, sodium, and fat than a sandwich you’d make at home. If you’re keeping an eye on your diet, here are a few choices you might want to skip.
Hot Specialty Subs To Avoid

Smokehouse Beef & Cheddar Brisket – Large White
Love brisket? Just be warned—the large Smokehouse Beef & Cheddar Brisket on white bread is seriously loaded: 1,500 calories, 102g of fat, and a whopping 3,020mg of sodium. That’s more than what most folks should eat in a whole day. Even the medium version is packed with fat, sugar, and salt. If you can’t resist it, try sharing or saving half for later. Your heart will thank you!

Firehouse Meatball
Meatball subs are delicious, but Firehouse’s version isn’t light by any means. The large Meatball Sub clocks in at 1,310 calories and 80g of fat—plus over 3,000mg of sodium! Even the medium isn’t much better. The smaller one is more manageable, but still quite salty. If you’re watching your heart health, this one might be worth skipping or sharing with others.
Worst Single Meat Subs

Ham Sub
Ham might sound like a healthy pick, but the large ham sub at Firehouse packs 1,130 calories, 55 grams of fat, and a whopping 2,800mg of sodium. That’s a lot for one sandwich! For a cleaner option, consider substituting the ham with a leaner, lower-sodium protein.

Pastrami Sub
Pastrami is loaded with sodium, and the large pastrami sub at Firehouse Subs contains 1,110 calories and an eye-popping 3,550mg of sodium. That’s way over the recommended daily limit—especially if you care about fitness and skincare. Due to the risk of bloating and other health concerns, this isn’t a great everyday choice.
High-Calorie Specialty Items

Jamaican Jerk Turkey – Large White
This sandwich may be delicious, but it’s also heavy—containing 1,140 calories, 55g of fat, and 3,080mg of sodium. Even the medium-sized one delivers a high-calorie load. If you’re craving it, consider eating just half or choosing wheat bread instead of white to help lower the sodium.

Sweet & Spicy Meatball
The Sweet & Spicy Meatball Sub is one of the least nutritious options on the menu. A large serving contains 1,380 calories and an alarming 4,700mg of sodium—more than twice the American Heart Association’s daily recommendation. Even the medium version has 2,380mg of sodium. Regularly consuming this substance could increase your risk of developing high blood pressure.
Unhealthy Soups And Sides

Firehouse Chili
A 10-ounce serving of Firehouse Chili contains 300 calories, 15 grams of fat, and 850 milligrams of sodium. While this may appear moderate, pairing it with a side dish or another dish can cause the numbers to spike quickly. For a lighter option, consider choosing a small loaded potato soup instead.

Five Cheese Mac & Cheese
This side dish has 380 calories, 20 grams of fat, and 1,400 milligrams of sodium. According to the Firehouse Subs nutrition menu, if you’re craving something cheesy, a small serving of soup may be a smarter choice—it offers a similar flavor experience with fewer calories and less sodium.

Kids’ Grilled Cheese
Although this kid’s option is smaller in size, it still packs 440 calories, 27 grams of fat, and 720 milligrams of sodium. When paired with chips or another side, the total can easily go over 600 calories. A healthier alternative would be a small turkey or ham sub on wheat bread with extra vegetables.
Salads That Aren’t As Healthy As They Seem

Tuna Salad – Large White
The large tuna salad sandwich on white bread is among the most calorie-dense items at Firehouse Subs. While tuna is a healthy protein source, the excessive use of mayonnaise adds unnecessary calories and fat. This version contains 1,540 calories, 97 grams of fat, and 3,030 milligrams of sodium. Opting for a small size can significantly reduce these numbers.

Italian with Grilled Chicken Salad
Sure, this salad has a good amount of protein—but it also packs 1,580mg of sodium and 22g of fat. That’s mostly because of the salami. Want a lighter option? Go for a simple grilled chicken salad and skip the fatty dressings.

Special Mention: The Italian Sub
We get it—everyone loves the Italian Sub! But heads up: the medium size isn’t doing your health any favors. With 1,965 calories, 29g of saturated fat, and 5,530mg of sodium, it’s a major indulgence. Oh, and it packs 36g of sugar—about the same as a brownie. Try swapping out some ingredients to make it lighter.
Sure, there are some heavier options on the menu—but the good news is you can build your own! Firehouse Subs makes it easy to customize your sandwich to fit your lifestyle. Choose lean proteins, load up on veggies, and skip the extras to enjoy a healthier, satisfying meal. And don’t forget to check their allergy-friendly options as well.
Customize With Low-Calorie Toppings
Want to enjoy a Firehouse Sub without the extra calories? Here’s how we did it—and you can too! Start with wheat bread for a fiber boost and less sodium. Then, stack on fresh veggies to keep it healthy and filling. Check out these tasty low-calorie toppings you can add!
Here are some low-calorie toppings to include:
- Spicy mustard – 0 calories
- Pickles – 5 calories
- Mushrooms – 5 calories
- Cherry pepper rings – 10 calories.
- Iceberg lettuce – 15 calories
- Tomatoes – 15 calories
- Onions – 20 calories
For protein, choose lean turkey breast, which has about 150 calories per serving. Go light on cheese each slice can add 100–110 calories. And try skipping creamy dressings or heavy sauces to keep it clean and light.
