Any reference to percentage daily value (%DV) is based on a 2,000 calorie diet. The FDA uses 2,000 calories for general adult nutritional guidance. Individual needs vary and your daily value may be higher or lower.

Here is a summary of the nutritional information for a regular 8″ and giant 16″ Jimmy John’s The Pepe sandwich on French Bread.

Calories in The Pepe

There are 600 calories in an 8″ Pepe® on French Bread.

Here is a summary of the amount of calories by macronutrient in one sub sandwich:

Dietary fat contributes the highest proportion of the total calories. Carbohydrates make up approximately 36% of total calories and the remaining 21% is from protein.

Total Calories Vary by Size and Type of Bread

Calories vary from 370 to 1,190, depending on size and selected bread or wrap. Here are the total calories in the ham and cheese sandwich based on the options available at Jimmy John’s.

Reduced Carb Pepe Sub

If you are looking for a lower carbohydrate meal, check out Jimmy John’s Unwich® options. These bread-free sandwiches include all the same fixings wrapped in lettuce.

The lettuce alone has zero carbs and zero calories per serving, compared to the French roll, which has 44 grams of carbs and 230 calories.

When you order an Unwich, the amount of carbs is drastically reduced. In turn, total calories also drop. In this example, The Pepe Unwich has only 370 calories (compared with 600 calories on French Bread).

Sodium

The Pepe sub on French bread has 1,570 milligrams of sodium. That is significant for a single menu item.

The FDA recommends limiting sodium to less than 2,300mg per day (based on a 2,000 calorie diet).

To that end, one 8″ The Pepe exceeds 65% of that recommended limit.

Take it into consideration when deciding what to order for lunch. This is not a large sandwich, yet it contains over two thirds of the limit of total sodium for an entire day.

The larger 16″ giant has more than 3,000 milligrams of sodium, which exceeds the recommended daily limit by 30%.

It’s probably no surprise that the 16″ sandwich contains double the nutrients as the 8″ version. Here are summary nutrition facts for The Pepe sandwich, based on size and different types of bread.
