Lunchmeat Sandwich with Chips
Servings: 1
As long as you stick to sliced bread (rather than sub rolls), and keep the chip portion to 1 ounce or less, then this staple of the american diet is fine to keep in your lunch rotation.
Rather than give exact ingredients, it's better to learn a rule of thumb. A basic sandwich with typical sliced bread, lunch meat, cheese, light mayo, and veggies is somewhere around 400 calories and 27gm carb, depending on the exact bread and meat you choose. If you love chips with your sandwich, then stick to 1 ounce portion (what is in most single serve bags of chips. This is typically about 12 chips). 1 ounce of potato chips adds about 150 calories and 15gm carb. If you skip the chips, you may subtract these numbers from the totals in this "recipe".
I do recommend that if you try to eat most of your sandwiches on sliced bread rather than sub rolls. Having a sandwich on a 6 inch sub roll instead of sliced bread increases the calories by 20% and the carbs by 45%.
