You may be taking in all of the macronutrients you need, but you might be taking in a bunch of additives/seasonings which aren't good for you. For example, consider the Subway 6" Club Sandwich. That's a pretty middle of the road kind of offering at Subway. It has a lot going for it. It's high in protein, with 46% of the RDA there. But check the sodium on this: 37% of your daily sodium intake. Probably not too healthful.

While it is good to have such a nice dose of soluble fiber at 20%, you might want to look at the rest of the carbohydrates. The sugar content of Subway bread is so high, in Ireland, the bread is taxed as a confection rather than bread. You might not think that is such a bad thing, but you are so overexposed to sugar in your diet, you don't even notice all of the foods it has been added to. If any part of your diet has corn syrup in the first three ingredients, you should look twice. Sweeteners have an impact on your blood chemistry/insulin balance and can greatly impact your health, not to mention your desire to eat more of that kind of food.

So the answer is: go ahead and eat a sandwich at every meal. Use whole grain bread, without sweeteners added. Use Duke's Mayo. Load it up with vegetables and oil/vinegar and spices. Add dairy for some calcium, and stay away from the salt shaker. You probably would do just fine.
