Subway UK six-inch chicken subs: compare the actual builds
The September 2026 UK builds list 28 g protein for Chicken Tikka, 26 g for Chicken Breast and 22 g for Rotisserie Style Chicken, with different portion weights and recipes.
Compare the same six-inch basis
Subway’s UK and Republic of Ireland September 2026 table gives a six-inch sub basis that includes bread, the named protein and listed vegetables: onions, cucumber and lettuce. It does not provide a blanket total for every cheese, sauce and bread choice you could request.
| Order and portion | kcal | Protein (g) | Carbs (g) | Fat (g) | Fibre (g) | Salt (g) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chicken Breast1 listed 6-inch sub · 198 g | 340 | 26 | 42 | 6.8 | 2.4 | 1.8 |
| Chicken Tikka1 listed 6-inch sub · 197 g | 345 | 28 | 43 | 7.1 | 3.5 | 1.5 |
| Rotisserie Style Chicken1 listed 6-inch sub · 177 g | 310 | 22 | 38 | 7.6 | 2.5 | 1.4 |
| Turkey1 listed 6-inch sub · 183 g | 312 | 22 | 41 | 6.6 | 2.7 | 1.8 |
| Tuna Mayo1 listed 6-inch sub · 200 g | 400 | 22 | 43 | 16 | 2.4 | 1.8 |
Which chicken build has more protein?
Chicken Tikka lists 28 g protein and 345 kcal. Chicken Breast is 340 kcal and 26 g protein; Rotisserie Style Chicken is 310 kcal and 22 g protein. Choosing Tikka over Chicken Breast changes this published build by 5 kcal and 2 g protein.
The lower-calorie rotisserie sub is also the smaller source portion: 177 g, compared with 197 g for Tikka and 198 g for Chicken Breast. These are real order portions, not equal weights of cooked chicken.
Tuna is not the leanest filling by default
The Tuna Mayo build lists 400 kcal, 22 g protein and 16 g fat. That is the same listed protein as Rotisserie Style Chicken, with 90 more kcal and 8.4 g more fat. This is a comparison of finished sandwich recipes, including the tuna recipe’s mayonnaise, not a judgment about plain tuna.
Turkey lists 312 kcal and 22 g protein. Its 1.8 g salt is higher than the rotisserie recipe’s 1.4 g, even though their calories and protein are close. Choose your priorities instead of expecting one ranking to answer every question.
What if you add cheese or sauce?
Keep the base build and each supported addition separate. Do not add a second chicken portion simply because the sub row includes chicken; that would double-count the default filling. A custom order without matching ingredient quantities should be labelled an estimate or left partly unknown.
Use the right local menu
These are UK-source six-inch builds, not U.S. Footlongs or Canadian recipes. The official UK nutrition page still links the September guide. The figures use that September edition and its stated build assumptions; they are not a promise that every customized local order has the same nutrition. Check the current local recipe when ordering.
