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 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.
