Always use a scale and standard measurement to accurately calculate the number of calories in your sandwich.
Calculating the number of calories present in a chicken sandwich can be done using a scale and generally available information. A calorie is a unit of energy that tells you the amount of energy contained in a food in the form of sugar or fat. A normal diet should supply 1500 to 2000 calories a day. Calories are not the only element to take into consideration when dieting, but considering calories give a good base on which to build a healthy diet.
Instructions
1. Cut and cook your chicken as you see fit. Weigh the cooked chicken and make a note of the weight. Multiply the weight in ounces by 55.2 to find the number of calories of your chicken.
2. Weigh in the bread for the sandwich. Multiply the weight in ounces by 27 for white bread and 22 for brown bread. Write down the amount of calories in the bread.
3. Weigh or measure your other ingredients, such as tomatoes (5 calories per ounce), cheese (around 100 calories per ounce) or mayonnaise (48 calories per tablespoon).
4. Add the calories found for all your ingredients to derive the number of calories in your sandwich.
