These orders from popular sandwich chains contain a surprising amount of calories.
It’s surprising how even the simplest sandwich can turn into a calorie bomb with just a few additions like mayonnaise, butter, and dressing (and cheese, which is delicious but so high in calories). Restaurants tend to use more of these ingredients because they obviously want to make the sandwich as delicious as possible, which is wonderful in terms of taste, maybe not so much in terms of calories: Here are five restaurant chains offering sandwiches that can have over 1,000 calories per serving.
Jersey Mike’s Chipotle Cheese Steak
THE Chipotle Cheese Steak at Jersey Mike’s is a 1,040-calorie sandwich: beef, grilled onions, peppers, white American cheese, and chipotle mayonnaise combine to make a caloric (and tasty) sandwich. Maybe more of a one-time thing than a daily lunch.
Jimmy John’s Roast Beef and Cheddar
THE Roast Beef and Cheddar the grilled sub at Jimmy John’s has 1,140 calories. This sandwich features beef, cheddar cheese, horseradish sauce, crispy fried onions, lettuce, tomato, onion and mayonnaise for a hearty and hearty lunch.

BJ’s California Chicken Club Sandwich
THE California Chicken Club The sandwich at BJ’s Restaurant & Brewery is 1,270 calories: This sandwich contains chicken breast, smoked bacon, avocado, melted Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and roasted garlic aioli on toasted sourdough bread. Tasty yes, caloric, yes too.
Capriotti’s Chipotle Chicken Crunch
A medium chipotle chicken crunch The Capriottis is 1720 calories. “Made with 25% more thinly sliced premium grilled chicken, it’s topped with American cheese, crispy cheddar onions, fresh lettuce and tomatoes, and finished with chipotle ranch dressing for bold, crave-worthy flavor and serious crunch,” the chain says. If you’re craving this sandwich but don’t want all those calories, the mini size is 550 calories.
McAlister’s Deli Jalapeño Turkey Crunch
Turkey Jalapeño Crunch McAlister’s Deli or 1,370 calories for a fairly hearty, protein-rich sandwich: roast turkey, jalapeño chips, bacon, pepper jack, avocado and mayonnaise on a jalapeño roll, with a side.
