Calories from Carbs
The Half-Pound sandwich has the most roast beef of any of the sandwiches on Arby’s menu.
However, it’s served on the same size bun as the Classic and the Double. So the 150 calories from carbohydrates remain the same across all three sizes of the roast beef sandwich.

The breakout of calories by nutrient is a rounded estimate based on the nutrition facts label provided by Arby’s. Calories may vary by location, as a result of how it’s prepared, or due to topping choices.
Fat
One sandwich has 30 grams of total fat, including 12 grams of saturated fat and two grams of trans fat. That is high, especially for a single menu item.
Saturated Fat
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 desserts, meats, vegetable shortening, dairy products, and plant oils, among other food items. The FDA recommends choosing foods lower in saturated fat.
With that in mind, note that 12 grams of saturated fat deliver about 108 calories. That’s 18% of the total 610 calories per serving.
Moreover, the amount of saturated fat per serving is 60% of the FDA-recommended limit for an entire day (%DV based on a 2,000 calorie diet).
Sodium
There are 2,040 milligrams of sodium in one sandwich. That’s nearly 90% of the total daily value (based on a 2,000 calorie diet).
According to the U.S. FDA, ‘sodium is a nutrient to get less of.’
