I put butter on my two slices of hovis wholemeal bread. Then cut mature cheddar as the filling.
I'm NOT AMERICAN. I DON'T GRILL IT.
I've searched everywhere and can find no consensus on how many calories in this simplest of snacks.
has anyone got a definitive answer?

Look up the calories of the bread.
Weigh the cheese. Look up how many calories is in that much cheese.
Measure the butter and look up how many calories is in that much butter.
Add together.
There you go.

^^ This. Just log the items separately. It is really pretty simple. Butter, cheese, bread.0

Weigh it...0

Slice of wholemeal bread - 100 each.
Butter - proabably around 60-70 cals, depends how generous you were.
The cheese? Calories will be high, so it really matters how much cheese you used. A ready sliced piece is around 120.
So all in, about 400 calories, more if you used alot of cheese.0 -
hovis wholemeal bread: 57 cals/slice total 114
Butter (depends on how much you used) 1Tablespoon: 100 cal
Cheddar (depends on the type, read the label) 90 cals per ounce
I found this easily in the database. Click on Food, then click on Database and you can search through all the foods that are logged into the database. When in doubt read the label, if it has one. Otherwise just compare it to something similar :flowerforyou:0 -

What does being American, or grilling the sandwich, have to do with its calorie count?
Grilling does not magically add more calories to an item of food. One method of cooking vs. another (or NOT cooking, in this case) does not make a difference in the number of calories it has. Neither does being American....:huh:0 -
Just butter and cheese on a cold sandwich? Sounds pretty gross. Put the bread on a scale, record the weight. Tare. Put the butter on the bread, record the weight. Tare. Put the cheese on the bread, record the weight. Log all of it. Repeat for everything else you eat.0

Well, I'm just going to go with what I think based on the same concept being for an American grilled cheese sandwich. (Sorry I love those so much! It's really comforting.) My grilled cheese sandwiches, which I make with mayonnaise instead of butter because it grills better, runs about 360-420 calories a sandwich depending on my slicing abilities of cheese, so, it's probably in that ballpark.0

Nothing better than grilled mayo.

Oh man I'm dying. The more I watch it the better it gets. Apparently you can put pizza on an iron to heat it up - college dorm style.0 -

The first time I had it, it weirded me out terribly. I was staying at my grandmother's in Redding and that's how she made grilled cheese sandwiches. I was forever changed by that sandwich. It was the best grilled cheese I have ever had hands down.0
