Those are pretty big (12″?) crepes. If you google around you get a somewhat wide spread of calories for crepes, I guess it depends on how you make them and how thick they are. I think the high estimates are probably the correct one, so based on [this](https://www.fatsecret.com/calories-nutrition/generic/crepe-plain?portionid=16028&portionamount=1.000) I’d put that at 180-200 calories for the crepe.
Replace it with generic white sandwich bread, there’s something like 120-140 calories for total, for 2 slices. So the sandwich version is probably lower calorie.
I can’t say for sure if they fill them differently, but the crepe has more room for filling so that might be another reason to go with the sandwich bread.
