This is a sandwich I practically lived off of when I lost my 65lbs so many, many moons ago. I need to review and revise the recipe a bit and re-calculate the WW points – it was about 3 points on their old program (2002/2003). I would often have this with a lower point vegetable soup.

Tips:
To make this a lower point sandwich, omit the sunflower seeds, pecans and cranberries – these I started adding afterwards and were not part of the original 3 point sandwich I woudl make when I was losing weight.
Usually adding more fresh vegetables to a recipe does not add many calories and helps to fill you up and adds a nutritious punch.
