Sandwich, white bread, ham salad

This ham salad sandwich is made with white bread, with figures based on a recipe from a survey of commercial sandwiches by the University of North London. It mainly provides carbohydrate, alongside protein and fat. Per 100g, it contains 25g of carbohydrate, 8.2g of protein, 4.1g of fat and 1g of salt.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. Bread and ham both contribute salt, which is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake. The nutrient content of individual sandwiches can vary with the ingredients and amounts used, so these figures describe the surveyed recipe rather than all ham salad sandwiches.
