Does anyone have any suggestions for mayonnaise alternatives? I knew it was high in calories but not *that* high! Yes, I do know I could plan ahead to have it etc etc all that good stuff, but some alternative ideas would be most welcome! Also, I am not a fan of the Hellmanns lighter mayo.

    I do brown mustard on roast beef, sour cream and cream cheese for dips (lower cal, but not “low cal” per se) but when I have tuna, there’s no substitute for mayo. I just have it less often.

    Olive oil-based mayonnaise is a bit lower in calories

    Mustard appears to be victorious here so I will certainly consider it as an option going forwards. Thanks everyone :)

    apparently you can blend silken tofu, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard a little milk and stevia to make an oil free mayo .... I cant vouch for it though, never tried it

    I really love Dijon mustard.
    Also the Laughing Cow spreadable cheeses.

    Oh, yeah. I do those, too. They're good, especially the pepper jack. 35 calories of awesomeness.

    Hmm. Not sure how I feel about that combination. Although, I guess I can't knock it til I've tried it!

    10g of mayo for about 90 calories is worth it for me!

    I love the olive oil mayo. It is a little lower in calories.
    Hummus makes for a good sandwich spread too.
    Greek yogurt or sour cream makes a good replacement in salads.
    You could use a thin spread of mayo and then use more mustard on sandwiches. That's my preferred go to.
    Buying fat free mayo could be a good option too.
    Avacado is a good replacement although probably not lower in calories. Just different fats and nutrition.
    Greek yogurt ranch dressing dip.

    Since mayo is revolting except in tuna or potato salad, I just use mustard.

    And yes, I know a lot of people love their mayo - I just can't get past the texture.

    I will only use mayo in tuna. It's so gross to me otherwise.

    Try Greek yogurt. Maybe add some spices if you need flavor. I made buffalo chicken salad with plain Greek yogurt instead of mayo and it was really good. Gonna try it with tuna next and just add some lemon pepper seasoning and see how it goes

    Mustard, soft cheese (Philadelphia, quark,etc), salsa, vinaigrettes.

    For something like tinned tuna I generally prefer to just use full fat mayo though. I use about 20-30 grams for one standard tin (about 120 or so grams).

    But it tastes like the dickens, is the thing... :/

    I guess as a spread it would be less noticable though, and it really is a big difference calorie-wise ^^
