1 sandwich (250 g) has about 500 calories.
Why estimates miss: Banh Mi is a multi-ingredient dish. The crusty baguette seems modest, but the mayo, pâté, and oily marinated meats stack up fast into a much heavier sandwich than it looks. Generic calorie apps undercount the hidden oil, sauce and portion — CalDesk AI's photo estimate is tuned to catch exactly this.
