    Personally if it's over 250 I ain't eating it. But the veggies and fruit on the side are part of my calorie allowance for the lunch in total so it all adds up to more like 350.

    This makes sense to me.

    Most sandwiches are not reasonable to me. It comes down to opportunity cost. I could eat the same flavors, with roughly equal protein/fiber, as a salad. Then I have 100-200 calories left for something else. Chocolate? Cookie? Chips? Those are all more enticing than 2 slices of bread.

    Unless it's really good bread. I don't keep that in the house though. Too enticing.

    Make the filling into a salad bowl then have one slice of of bread on the side or sometimes I don't even bother and have extra 'filling' in the salad
    Lunch is usually 250-350 cals depending on rest of days balance
