    Take the bread slices. Weigh them.
    Take a butter knife, spread a thin layer of mayo, return the rest of the mayo to the jar.
    Weigh the slices again. Is it even a gram of mayo?
    Yep, it's usually 5-7g (35-50cal) for me. I just work it in to my daily calories.

    I do replace the mayo in tuna salad with roasted garlic hummus.

    I use a stone or dijon mustard, low cal but very flavorful

    I agree with there being all kinds of mustard; I love horseradish mustard. And durkees (which I don't actually know what it is, but it's amazing).

    a wedge of laughing cow cheese is great on sandwiches and light on calories

    Wow! all these toppings sound good, my fav is avacado, dijon mustard, and if you still looking for more ideas I just started lemonaise...pretty good mayo alternative and they have flavors, I have the simple low fat version, but if you don't want low cal they have some other tasty looking options. http://www.gourmettrading.com/ojai-cook/

    I'll put habanero jelly on my sandwich sometimes, I can make a turkey and cheese sandwich with habanero jelly that's under 250 calories and tastes great with the right ingredients.

    In order to keep the calories down I've been wanting to cut out the mayo, but cannot stand a dry sammie!

    I'm like @standenvernet - I cut the bread. Bread is relatively low in nutritional value anyway, so I'm not missing anything. I say this as a pretty proficient bread baker... my family does miss my bread.

    Instead of a sandwich if I'm packing a lunch I take something like a Ploughman's Lunch - I'm quite fond of turkey (or other meats) sausage like a kolbassa; add in some chunks of cheese, maybe some olives or pickles or pickled veg; I'd also have some non traditional items like some nuts or yogurt along with it. Sometimes a salad.

    At home I'll quite often have a bread-less sandwich - 4 slices of sliced turkey + 1 slice of provolone or some other cheese = 140 calories with decent protein. Have two if you like and still about the same as a sandwich with bread. No mayo needed, not that I need an excuse to put some mayo on. I don't fear calories from mayo/fat.
