These popular sandwich chain orders pack a surprising amount of calories.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s surprising how even the simplest sandwich<\/a> can turn into a calorie bomb with just a few additions like mayo, butter, and dressing (and cheese, which is delicious but so calorie-dense). Restaurants tend to use more of these ingredients because they obviously want to make the sandwich as delicious as possible, which is wonderful taste-wise, maybe not so much calorie-wise: Here are five chain restaurants with sandwiches that can contain over 1000 calories per serving.<\/p>\n
