The sandwich contains 300 calories, including 8.8 grams of fat 1.4 grams of saturated fat, no cholesterol, 356 mg of sodium, 42 grams of carbs, 7 grams of fiber and 19 grams of protein.
The 8 ounce glass of skimmed milk contains no fat, 3 grams of cholesterol, 130 mg of sodium, 13 grams of carbs, no fiber and 9 grams of protein.
