[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, it's mostly all in the bread - as in, those chains have higher-calorie breads than you'd find in the supermarket aisle labeled sandwich bread. Plus the mayo, and there you go.

Most ready-made food is quite deceptive.[/quote]
Thanks! So, if I bought a baguette from Safeway, and make it myself it would have fewer calories? I will check the calories instore bought baguettes.
But, there I was thinking I am choosing a healthy lunch, and it might not be unhealthy per se, but at 5'4" I don't need 1000 calories for lunch![/quote]

6" of fresh baguette (I won't go as far to say one from Safeway, but from a bakery) should have around 200-300 calories. So that is going to be fewer than a chain fast food sub shop roll, but still a lot.  Its difficult to escape calories in bread [/quote]
OP here. Though, it might be that the lunch meat has a ton of calories as well. I can't imagine shredded lettuce and a couple of slices of tomatoes have a ton of calories unless they are soaked in oil.[/quote]

I'm seeing Turkey Tom 8 inch listed as 480 calories...

Turkey lunch meat has little calories, probably around 100 for the whole sandwich.  Skip mayo, have them add djon mustard and some cucumbers for extra crunch instead.  
Regular sized Turkey Tom minus mayo with no added cheese should put you at around 380 calories.  [/quote]
