1 pressed sandwich (250 g) has about 540 calories.
Why estimates miss: Cuban Sandwich is a multi-ingredient dish. Roast pork and ham together make it protein-heavy, and pressing melts the cheese throughout. Generic calorie apps undercount the hidden oil, sauce and portion — CalDesk AI's photo estimate is tuned to catch exactly this.
