    I would just break it down, ingredient by ingredient, and guess on the serving size of each item. Or compare it to a subway sandwich and log that....Yum, I love a good sandwich!

    Usually what I do is think of something that is close to it. For example, my boyfriend makes me this sandwich for breakfast sometimes(probably not the most healthy thing to eat) but it has egg, bacon, and cheese on it and its on a bagel. Sometimes the bagels he uses don't have the nutritonal value on the bag because they are from a bakery, so I just guess that the whole sandwich is similar to a Mcdonalds egg mcmuffin or the bagel sandwiches they have.

    Or you can sometimes add up just about how much calories each item on the sandwich contains, and then add them all together, I do that sometimes too.
