    Zero calories, unless you eat it.

    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!

    Cheese sandwich. Let's say 200 calories.

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

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

    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.
