Mind you, I only had half the hero, these are the numbers for the whole thing.
Can you imagine eating like that mostly every day? Even if you burned the cals off exercising or working, the sodium content alone is enough to kill you before a year is out. Yikes! And let's not forget the 4 or more tablespoons of mayonnaise I used, providing an additional 240 calories.
No, I don't want to gain weight that bad. But on the plus side there's no added sugars in a sammich.

Must be a mid day thing.

My only explanation is something called "drawn to stimulus" which you see in people with ****ed up frontal lobes.
p.s. do you know the difference between a BMW and a porcupine??

I like sandwiches, but hoagie rolls alone are a huge hit to the calorie budget. Looking at the fat and the protein, that's a lot of fatty pepperoni in thar!
Oh, and for those *not* looking to gain weight, Light Mayo FTW! When it comes to light or diet versions of anything, I think that light mayo is prolly the biggest slam dunk, in terms of taste vs fat and calorie savings.

Mayo is an abomination, even on a sammich. I much prefer a small dash of olive oil.

Had the cheese (3 cheeses) sandwich at my favorite cafe. Added the duck bacon, natch.
