Fat
One sandwich has 24 grams of total fat, including 9 grams of saturated fat. That is high, especially considering it’s a single menu item.
Dietary Guidelines for Americans (published by the US Department of Health and Human Services) recommend limiting calories from saturated fat to less than 10% of total calories.
Saturated Fat is found in animal fats, baked goods, pizza, and vegetable shortening, among other food items. The FDA recommends choosing foods lower in saturated fat.
The 9 grams of saturated fat deliver 81 calories. That’s about 16% of the total 510 calories per serving. Moreover, it’s 45% of the daily value (based on a 2,000 calorie diet).
Sodium
There are 1,610 milligrams of sodium per serving. That’s more than half of the FDA-recommended limit for an entire day. Specifically, the amount of sodium in this double beef sandwich has a 70% daily value.
