Back to school: Fast food nation

Jimmy John's

Food served fast that’s not pizza and can come via delivery -- say no more -- it’s a winner. Jimmy John’s Gourmet Sandwiches has entered the realm of "healthy" fast food all stars. Here, people like Subway’s Jared (Fogle) can dine without worry of breaking the bank or the diet. For students and professionals, nothing is better than being able to concentrate on work without having to worry about what’s keeping the engine running, what it costs, and how much time it will take to get it. Although a little high in carbohydrates, these meals are filling, tasty and loaded with lots of protein and not too high in the calorie department.
