    This depends on how much butter and cheese you put in it! It is impossible to tell without being able to even see the picture. The type of cheese can effect the calories as well

    You need to look up the ingredients and add them to your diary because no-one can tell you unfortunately. Because.... the amount of cheese you used will make a huge difference! Also was it thick sliced bread or thin cut? You need to look up the type of bread you used and input that, weigh the cheese, look it up and input that and voila, you'll have your answer. It could be anywhere between about 300 and 1000 calories....

    Wild *kitten* guess, 325. What brand of bread? Which cheese, how much did it weigh? Condiments?

    Seriously OP, you should just look up the individual components of your sandwich in the database. You can even scan the barcodes of the bread and cheese and any other commercially prepared ingredients with a smartphone.

    THAT.

    Weigh / measure your ingredients and add it all up.

    Searching the database for "Sandwich: Homemade: Generic" is NOT the way forward.

    Just put in each component of your sandwich into the data base and the information you are requesting should be pretty straight forward.

    Ask your mom to add up the calories values from the packaging after she finishes cutting off the crusts for you

    Weigh everything you are putting in and on your sandwich, also weigh your bread than you can search the data base or enter your own recipe.

    Depends on the bread, cheese, condiments and the amounts of each used. Enter each component of your sandwich into your diary.

    Hi
    I use bread that is 120 calories per serving, 2 slices per serving
    Velveeta wrapped Slices at 40 calories per slice
    I Can't believe its not Butter spray 0 Calories per serving

    So it depends on how much cheese.

    Good Luck

    Surely you mean 320 (and that's assuming it's low fat cheese).

    Zero calories, unless you eat it.

    Agreed!! 200 is a vast underestimate for 2 slices of white bread and processed cheese.

    The sandwich will still contain calories if you don't eat it ..

    It depends on what and how much you put on it. I make my husband a sandwich every morning. It has usually around 350 calories in it. It has rye bread, pastrami, swiss cheese and brown mustard. I figured the calories by putting the bread on the scale and weigh each ingredient as I add it.

    Measure what you put into it. Add that up. Make yourself a recipe (on your food diary page). Log.

    Ta da!

    Actually, the wrapped cheese I use is 60 calories a slice, and I use bread that is 70 calories for 2 slices, so not withstanding the white/sourdough-looking bread in that pic, I could do a cheese sandwich (with 2 slices of cheese even!) for 190 calories.

    Sourdough is surprisingly low on the calorie scale, though. I had a sandwich at Panera that was made with a white sourdough-type bread and it was the lowest calorie option on the menu BY FAR. So maybe it is possible...

    I was just commenting on the picture. Big slices like that are typically 110-120 calories each. And 2% American cheese is like 50 calories a slice.
