## **Why Did This Sandwich Cost 20 Points?**
A sandwich might seem like a **simple, balanced choice**, but depending on the ingredients, the points can add up fast:

🥖 **Whole Grain Bread** – While it’s healthier than white bread, many brands are still high in calories and points. Some **store-bought whole grain breads** can be **4-5 points per slice**—meaning just the bread alone could be **10 points!**

🧀 **Gouda Cheese** – Delicious? Absolutely. But **Gouda packs about 4-5 points per slice**, making it a major contributor to the total points.

🍗 **Protein Choice** – If you’re adding **deli meats, chicken, or even avocado**, you could be pushing the total even higher.
