According to the CBC [Canadian Broadcasting Corporation], researchers at Trent University sampled both the oven roasted chicken filets and the chicken strips that Subway uses on its sandwiches in Canada. After testing six small samples of the filets and three small samples of the strips, the researchers ran a DNA test.
The results showed that the filets contained just 53.6 percent chicken DNA. The strips were found to contain just 42.8 percent chicken DNA.
CBC reports that the rest of the DNA found in the chicken was soy — used either for either seasoning or filler.

I should have been more clear, that is exactly my point.
Type "subway sandwich" into a search engine and look for images. You will notice they are all stuffed with meats to give the appearance of a big sandwich. But in reality, you get the same three slices of meat and cheese from every store and the final sandwich looks nothing like the photos. That is misleading and ripping off the customer. No customer is going to perform calorie match to see how much meat they are getting. They only see a stuffed sandwich and think "mmmmm that looks so good!" Then they get a thin soggy layer of fake meat.
And I bet there is more meat and cheese on a quarter pounder than an entire subway foot long.

I eat subway sandwiches all the time because I can get them loaded up with veggies.
You are only half-right about the meat. Yes, they use the same misleadingly staged photos as all other food vendors. But no they don't skimp on the meat in real life. Its not presented as nicely because they are minimum wage employees, not ad agencies food stagers. But I've never had a complaint about getting too little meat.
