These Low Calorie Grilled Cheese Sandwich are just 238 calories thanks to my Low Calorie Bread Recipe!

I like to use sharp cheddar, it has more flavor and therefore you don't need as much to get the cheesy flavor you want in a healthy grilled cheese. And 2 slices of the cheese is 1/4 cup, just in case you want to use shredded cheese instead of sliced.

Special Tip: If you want to get store-bought bread, it will change the calories a bit. You can also get Dave's Killer Bread Thin-Sliced bread as it has the same calorie count as the homemade recipe I supply below.
