Estimated nutrition

~145 cal | ~17g protein per 1 open-faced stack.

Numbers describe the filmed build: 3 slices Sola Sweet & Buttery, 3 Happy Egg Heritage large eggs, 3 slices 365 Organic Black Forest ham and 1/4 cup Great Value fat-free cheddar across 3 stacks, cooking spray not counted. Per stack about 145 calories, 17g protein, 10g carbs (9g fiber, 1g net) and 7g fat; all 3 stacks about 435 calories and 50g protein. Estimates come from package labels, not lab tests. Net carbs use Sola's current 0g-net label; older bags list 1g net per slice. Swap in full-fat cheddar and each stack gains ~20 cal and ~3g fat (≈65 cal and ~9g fat across the batch).
