Unveiled: the unhealthiest sandwiches in the main street that are full of more calories than two McDonald’s cheeseburgers

Sandwiches sold on British Hoofdstraat and in supermarket meal deals can be more caloric than hamburgers and sweeter than chocolate bars, according to analysis.

MailOnline found a host of the lunchtime favorites of the country more calories, saturated fat, sugar and salt than fast food and desserts.

Pret’s Posh Cheddar & Pickle Baguette Sandwich contained 643 calories, more than two McDonald’s cheeseburgers (295 calories each) or a Big Mac (494 calories).

Many sandwiches offered by British supermarkets had also defeated fast food burgers when it came to saturated fat content.

Waitrose’s No.1 The Perfect Ploughman’s Cornish Cheddar Sandwich was one of the most saturated fat content with 13.1 g per pack.

This is more fat than two McDonald’s cheese burgers, who have 5.4 g saturated fat each.

M&S Farm Cheddar Cheese Ploughman was a different high -rich range, and with 11.3 g saturated fat had more than a Big Mac (8.8 g).

Both sandwiches contain more than half of the daily stimulated fat borders of the NHS for women (20 g) and almost half for men (30 g) in just a single package.

Sainsbury’s Brie Bacon & Chili Chutney Sandwich was at the top of the charts when it came to sugar content with 19.7 g of the sweet things.

This is almost the equivalent of having two chocolate bars from Kit Kat (10.3 g each).

Another surprising sugary offer was M&Ss all day long breakfastsandwich.

This sandwich contained 10.1 g sugar, just less than a Krispy Kreme original glazed donut (12g).

For context, the NHS recommends that adults consume only a maximum of 30 g of sugar per day.

Several British sandwiches for sale in the Hoofdstraat also turned out to be much more saltier than fast food products.

Pret’s Ham & Grevé -Strakbrood contained 3.85 g of salt, making it lyter than four large parts of McDonald’s fries (0.82 g of salt each).

Sainsbury’s Brie Bacon & Chili Chutney Sandwich was at the top of the charts when it came to sugar content with 19.7 g, almost as much as two kit cat chocolate bars

M&S Farmhouse Cheddar Cheese Ploughman contained 1.78 g of salt, light more than two large McDonald’s fries

But even some vegetarian options were surprisingly high in salt.

The Cheddar Cheese Ploughman farm of M&S contained 1.78 g, just over two large McDonald’s fries.

Adults are recommended to have no more than 6 g of salt per day, and children are advised to have less.

Having excess salt in your system leads to water retention in the blood that increases your blood pressure.

This can then increase the risk of a potentially fatal heart attack or stroke.

Heart diseases and strokes are one of the greatest murderers in Britain, killing around 160,000 a year, with the American death toll about five times higher.

The NHS also warns that too much fat in your diet, especially saturated fats, can increase your cholesterol, which in turn increases the risk of heart conditions.

Eating too much sugar, which is full of energy, can contribute to potentially harmful weight gain, which increases the risk of serious problems such as heart conditions, some cancers and type 2 diabetes.
