How many calories are in this BLT Sandwich?

To cut down the amount of calories even more, you can simply halve the portion size and serve with a healthy accompaniment.
This BLT Sandwich is perfect if you’re following a calorie controlled diet, and fits well with any one of the major diet plans such as Weight Watchers.
As a guide, an average man needs around 2,500kcal (10,500kJ) a day to maintain a healthy body weight. For an average woman, that figure is around 2,000kcal (8,400kJ) a day. Obviously, if your goal is to lose weight then you might want to adjust these slightly! You can read more about these recommendations on the NHS website.
Step 1
First weigh the 3 slices of bread. If it is over 60g, cut off some of the crust from 1 slice and weigh it again, until you get 60g.
Step 2
Next, cook the bacon and fry the eggs in a few sprays of low calorie cooking spray. You’ll want the eggs quite hard so they don’t make a mess when you eat the BLT.
Step 3
If you want you can toast the bread at this point.
Step 4
Lay out the bread with the slice you cut the crust off in the middle.
Step 5
Spread half of the ketchup onto one of the bigger slices, then place the egg on top. Spread the rest of the mayo on one side of the smaller slice and lay it on top of the egg, ketchup side down.
Step 6
Spread the top piece of bread with half the mayo, then add the bacon, sliced tomato and lettuce. Put the remaining mayo on the last piece of bread.
Step 7
Place this slice on top of the lettuce and cut the sandwich in half diagonally. Enjoy.
