l got a sandwich at a deli today and l wanna know how many calories are in it-- or at least if it is remotley healthy. I am trying to lose weight. The sandwich is all I am going to eat today besides drinking a lot of water.
The sandwich was a pretty big wrap-thing with a lot of roast beef in it, melted cheddar cheese and a pretty decent amount of ranch dressing.
Did l just ruin my diet by eating that? Was it that unhealthy? About how many calories was it? Was it over 1,000? It is all I am going to eat today, so it is not that bad.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks.

Please see ''Calorie Calculators'' source link below.

The following healthy living recommendations will help u if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up ur muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, r attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:

*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday & measure ur results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail & will help u determine how many calories u need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm

Get an online, desktop, or cell phone diet & fitness calculator. This will allow u to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log ur daily calorie consumption, & register ur physical activities.

Set realistic goals for ur ideal body weight. Here r two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:
Adults: http://halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm
Teens/Children: http://kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/weight/bmi.html

It is difficult & unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There r 3,500 calories in a pound. If u eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week u will lose one pound. If u burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week u will lose one pound.

Here r two articles on how to break through a weight loss plateau:

*2) Eat natural & organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day & take a good multi-vitamin supplement.

Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) & drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:

*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven & nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, & safety.

*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues & make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”. A reputable test u can take to measure ur biological age is at http://realage.com
Look at all areas where u can enhance ur health. For example, make improvements in the quality of the air u breathe. Review outdoor air quality forecasts where u live & get an indoor air purifier.

Approximatley how many calories are in the following sandwich

Thats alot of food for one meal and alot of fat.

 

Approximatley how many calories are in the following sandwich

look up & in put the sandwich here: http://caloriesperhour.com/index_food.html

you have to dissect everything in it, from the ranch dressing to the cheese, etc.

but if u really want to lose weight, stick to chicken breast or turkey breast or tuna, no cheese, & only fat free or low-fat dressings. And fill it with veggies instead (lettuce, tomato, cucumber, olives, etc). Eating lots of fruits & veggies is the way to go.

But if it is the ONLY thing u ate, then do not worry about it, cause even it IS 1000 calories, you'd still have at least 500 u could eat that day (do NOT starve yourself; it is not healthy & u will be setting yourself to fail).

is this a ''diet'' you are on?
it does not sound healthy.

Well, salad dressing is pretty fatty. 2 T of KRAFT Ranch Dressing has 15.6 grams of fat and 148 calories.

146 calories in the wrap, 3 fat grams

half a cup of shredded cheddar has 250 calories and 15 fat grams

the meat could be anything, depending on what kind, how much, et cet.

Next time, skip the dressng and cheese.it'd be better.

Try the same thing with less ranch, and chicken instead of beef!

Number one, eating only a sandwich today will make u GAIN weight. I can not figure out the calories without the packaging from the food, but I do know that u need to eat at least 3 meals a day or else ur body will go into ''starvation'' mode & will begin KEEPING every single calorie u eat. You NEED to eat a healthy breakfast, something for lunch & a dinner. Breakfast is the most important because that is what kick-starts ur metabolism for the rest of the day. Even if it is just a bowl of cereal with some 2% milk. If u start depriving ur body of calories out of nowhere, u WILL GAIN weight instead of lose it. Think of those starving kids in Ethipoia that barely get to eat. They have big bulging stomaches because of all the calories their body keeps when it DOES eat. So only eating one sandwich a day will not make u thinner or help u lose weight. It is much much better to eat healthy foods all day long than only eat one unhealthy thing all day. The average healthy diet is 2000 calories, so cutting down to 1000 just deprives ur body of the nutrients it needs. Stay around 2000-2500. That is enough cutting down since the average American eats well over 5000 a day anyway.

Now that we've established that, if you're trying to lose weight, avoid cheeses, dressings & red meats. Try to stick to chicken & fish without cheese or mayonaisse. Get whole wheat bread or rye instead of white bread (which has very little nutritional value).

Excercise is a HUGE part of any diet. Even if u r not trying to gain muscle, it will help u lose fat-weight, tone ur muscles, & overall make u LOOK more in shape. So get online & look up some good excercises. Especially sit-ups & crunches. This will also help ur metabolism so you're more likely to efficiently consume the calories that u do eat. You're right about drinking lots of water though. Make sure u get at least 8 (8-ounce) glasses of water per day. If u drink TOO much water however, that is not good either because it will wash all the water-soluble vitamins like Potassium out of ur body. Drinking 50 glasses of water per day will NOT help u lose weight, but rather make u feel more unhealthy because u will get headaches & muscle cramps. Try to stick to only 8-10 glasses at max.

Good luck!

Let is see. Cheddar cheese and ranch dressing. I am gonna say, yes, that was over 1000 calories. If you are looking to cut calories, cheese and dressings are your main culprits.
