Fogle first visited Subway near his university in March 1998 and, after consulting a pamphlet touting the food's nutritional value, came up with his own meal plan. What's now known as Fogle's Subway Diet, consisted of a 6-inch turkey sub for lunch and a 12-inch Veggie Delite sub for dinner. He avoided mayo and cheese on both subs. The 6-inch turkey sub has 290 calories and 4 grams of total fat. The 12-inch Veggie Delite sub has 460 calories and 4.5 grams of total fat. His self-imposed meal plan of two subs per day lasted for 11 months, and Fogle experienced life-changing weight loss. In the first three months, he lost 94 pounds.
