Common questions
Is Jersey Mike's or Jimmy John's better on a GLP-1?
Jersey Mike's has the more protein-dense top order (9.9 vs 9.4 g protein per 100 calories). Jimmy John's has more orders that clear the good-fit, 30 g-plus-protein bar (9 vs 7). Neither is "better" in the abstract; it depends on whether you want the single most protein-dense order or more high-protein options. Both are scored the same way from their own published data.
How is this compared?
Every order at both chains is scored by the same published method we use on our restaurant guides, from each chain's own published nutrition data. We compare the most protein-dense order that fits, the highest-protein order that fits, and how many good-fit high-protein orders each offers.
