The Habit

1. The healthiest item at The Habit is their chargrilled ahi tuna sandwich (serving size 233g). The sandwich has a caloric value of 390g/serving, 10 grams of fat (unsaturated, saturated, and trans included), 40 grams of cholesterol, 2 grams of fiber, and 8 grams of sugar. It also contains 33 grams of protein, 860 grams of sodium.

2. The least healthiest meal is the Santa Barbara charburger on dough (serving size 341). The sandwich has a caloric value of 930g/serving, 69 grams of fat (unsaturated, saturated, and trans included), 150 grams of cholesterol, 7 grams of fiber, and 5 grams of sugar.

The ahi tuna sandwich is the healthier option because it has less fat that the Santa Barbara charburger (with 0G trans fat) and the sodium levels on the tuna sandwich are significantly lower.
