    Are you sure the serving is one package?

    Yeah, read the packaging again. They sneak that in on you by making you think one package is a serving but in reality it's 2-3. Sneaky marketing.

    a 4 oz serving of steak is 150 Cal, cheese is between 40~80 /slice. Normally under an oz of steak per inch, but the bread is always the killer.

    Quick online search is showing me everything from 700 - 1200 for an 8" - 10" sandwich.

    Throw it away immediately. Replace it with a real cheesesteak.

    I once had a dream that philly cheese steaks were only 282 calories.

    if it's one of those tiny sandwiches you get at a gas station with an invisible amount of meat/cheese and a tiny bun (in other words, not a real cheesesteak) then it's possible I suppose.

    What is the total weight on this package/alleged single serving?

    A good philly cheese steak is the bo bangiddy bomb. However, not all cheesesteaks are made alike. Don't be fooled.

    Roughly guessing, a proper cheesesteak will be on a Amoroso long roll, probably 300 calories at least, have 3 slices of american cheese for 250 calories, and have about 6-8oz of shredded beef, another 450-650ish calories. You are looking at a very rough guess of 1000-1100 for the sandwich alone, let alone any sides, or beer, that would accompany such a delicious meal.

    Crap... I need one now...

    Ok you'd have to weigh the thing, I wouldn't be surprised if it was 200g or something...

    Just not Pat's or Gino's...too much hype for a so-so cheese steak, IMO
