Subway Italian B.M.T.: Price, Calories and Nutrition (2026)

The Italian B.M.T. is the sandwich that made Subway famous. Three Italian meats, Genoa salami, spicy pepperoni, and Black Forest ham, piled on freshly baked bread with your choice of cheese, vegetables, and sauce. It has been the chain’s best seller for decades, and the name itself is sandwich history: B.M.T. originally stood for Brooklyn Manhattan Transit, then became Biggest, Meatiest, Tastiest. In 2026 the standard 6-inch Italian B.M.T. carries 450 calories and a price starting from $8.49. Here is the current price, the calorie count, and the full nutrition breakdown.

Price and calories callout

Subway Italian B.M.T. price: from $8.49. Subway Italian B.M.T. calories: 450.

The 450 calorie figure covers one standard 6-inch: salami, pepperoni, and ham with standard vegetables on Italian bread, before cheese or sauce. Adding provolone and oil and vinegar moves the number up.

What is in the Italian B.M.T.

The build starts with the meats, and this is a three-meat sandwich. Genoa salami brings a rich, peppery depth. Spicy pepperoni adds heat and a paprika warmth. Black Forest ham adds a mild, smoky sweetness that balances the other two. Together they deliver 21 grams of protein in the standard 6-inch, which is why the B.M.T. satisfies in a way single-meat subs do not.

The build puts those meats on Italian bread with your choice of cheese, provolone being the classic pick, and the full lineup of standard vegetables: lettuce, tomatoes, onions, green peppers, and cucumbers. The classic finish is oil and vinegar with oregano, which cuts through the richness of the salami and pepperoni.

At 450 calories with 21 grams of protein, the 6-inch B.M.T. is a substantial lunch. It is the highest-calorie cold classic on the menu, and the number reflects the three-meat construction. The meats contribute most of the fat at 23 grams, while the bread contributes most of the 46 grams of carbohydrates.

One thing worth knowing: the B.M.T. is also the most customizable flagship on the menu. Every vegetable is free. You can add spinach, pickles, olives, jalapenos, or banana peppers at no charge. Cheese costs extra in most markets, usually around a dollar, and double meat is available for roughly $2 to $3. The sandwich is a template as much as an item, which is why regulars all seem to order a slightly different B.M.T.

Italian B.M.T. nutrition facts

Full nutrition breakdown for one standard 6-inch Italian B.M.T., based on Subway’s official US nutrition data. Standard build: Genoa salami, spicy pepperoni, Black Forest ham, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, green peppers, cucumbers, Italian bread. No cheese, no sauce.

Nutrient	Amount per 6-inch Italian B.M.T.
Calories	450
Total fat	23g
Total carbohydrates	46g
Protein	21g
Sodium	1690mg

The 23 grams of fat is the number that defines this sandwich: it comes from the salami and pepperoni, which are the fattiest cold cuts on the line. The 21 grams of protein is solid for a cold sub. Sodium at 1690 mg is 73 percent of the daily guideline, the highest of any classic cold sub, because cured meats are salt by nature and there are three of them here.

For context, the B.M.T. sits at the top of the cold classics on calories: 450 against 280 for turkey breast and 290 for Black Forest ham. The single biggest lever is the meat trio itself. Ordering it on 9-grain wheat instead of Italian changes almost nothing calorically, but skipping the oil and vinegar in favor of mustard saves about 90 calories, and yellow mustard is free.

Italian B.M.T. ingredients and customization

The standard ingredient list is Genoa salami, spicy pepperoni, Black Forest ham, Italian bread, and the standard vegetables: lettuce, tomatoes, onions, green peppers, cucumbers. Cheese and sauce are chosen at the counter. Provolone is the traditional cheese pairing, and oil and vinegar with oregano is the classic finish.

Customization is the whole Subway proposition. Bread is the first decision: Italian (the classic), 9-Grain Wheat (same calories, more fiber), Italian Herbs & Cheese (adds about 40 calories), Hearty Multigrain, or Flatbread. Then the vegetables, all free, and there are more than a dozen.

The paid upgrades are cheese (around $1), double meat (around $2 to $3), and avocado or guacamole where available. Bacon can be added to anything for a couple of dollars. The value play runs the other way: load the free vegetables, pick mustard, and the sandwich gets bigger and more flavorful for zero extra dollars and fewer calories.

Allergens

The Italian B.M.T. contains wheat and gluten (bread), milk (if cheese is added; some processed meats contain milk derivatives), soy (present in some processed meats and breads), and egg (in some sauces like mayo). The cured meats may contain mustard seed and celery. Cross-contact with all major allergens is possible on the shared prep line. Always check Subway’s current allergen information if you have a serious allergy, since recipes vary by supplier and region.

Italian B.M.T. vs Spicy Italian

The two Italian heavyweights invite a direct comparison. The Italian B.M.T.: salami, pepperoni, and ham, 450 calories, 23g fat, 21g protein, from $8.49. The Spicy Italian: pepperoni and salami only, no ham, typically around 530 calories as built with the standard cheese and oil, from $7.99.

The Spicy Italian doubles down on the pepperoni, which makes it hotter and fattier per bite, but the B.M.T.’s ham adds a mellow counterpoint that many people prefer. On the panel, the B.M.T. is actually the lighter of the two in most builds because the ham displaces some of the fattier pepperoni. The Spicy Italian is cheaper by about fifty cents in most markets.

Pick the B.M.T. for the classic three-meat balance and the slightly better nutrition. Pick the Spicy Italian when you want maximum pepperoni heat and the lower price. Regulars are split, and both have been on the menu since the beginning.

Getting the best value on the Italian B.M.T.

• At from $8.49, the B.M.T. is fair value for a 450-calorie, three-meat sub. It is the most meat per dollar among the cold classics.
• Saturday is Italian B.M.T. day on the Sub of the Day rotation at many locations: the 6-inch drops to from $4.99. That is the single best deal on this sandwich.
• Skip the paid cheese and load free vegetables instead. Provolone adds about 50 calories and a dollar; extra spinach, peppers, and onions add bulk and flavor for nothing.
• Choose mustard over oil and mayo. It saves around 90 to 100 calories and costs nothing.
• The Subway app runs regular BOGO and percentage-off deals. A BOGO on the B.M.T. effectively makes it the cheapest premium sub on the menu.
