    You'd have to pry my full fat mayo from my cold dead hands. LOL

    Have you thought about making your own? Following the less is more mentality? Maybe just use 1tsp of mayo instead of a whole tbsp?

    If you are truly looking for alternatives, I really like the dressings by Primal Kitchens, you can use mustard, salsa, or hot sauce for adding flavor but not a lot of calories.

    You could try oil and vinegar/ light vinaigrette dressing.

    If you are mixing it with tuna, then try subbing in hummus.

    Mayo made with olive oil isn't so bad but I ALWAYS have a jar of Duke's mayo in my fridge. I simply couldn't live life withot i.

    I switched to mustard, too. The only thing I still use mayo for is making tuna salad and I use Duke's Olive Oil Lite Mayo. It's good.

    I just learned to control my mayo usage. like instead of slathering it on both pieces of bread, I just put a thin layer on only one piece of bread and then add a lot of spicy brown mustard. Also, I find it helps to use good tasting bread (I love sourdough) because the flavor from the bread makes mayo less necessary. I honestly hate the cheap loaves of bread (like Sara Lee and all those) I find the bread to be too squishy and sweet! I don’t want my sandwich bread to be sweet, yuck.

    I sometimes lighten my may by combining with natural or Greek yoghurt - I prefer the taste.

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

    I agree with the laughing cow cheese idea, they are so yummy and creamy.

    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.

    Walden Farms has a 0 cal mayo replacement.

    Did anyone mention tzatziki? I hate mayo, but like tzatziki on a sandwich. A little goes along way.

    Depends on what you typically use it for. I use light mayonnaise and it's good enough, honestly, but I typically only use mayo in chicken/egg salad or with French fries anyway.

    For coleslaw, I do Greek yogurt.

    I use it in my tuna salad; I use half a serving of Wegmans brand (if you have a Wegmans near by) per 1 full can of tuna. That adds something like 30 calories. I do add extra dill and pickles...but that's maybe 10 calories.

    There are a few versions/brands of lighter mayo that taste differently, so you can try those.
    Or adding some mustard to the light mayo to hide the taste difference (if mustard will go with whatever you are using the mayo on).

    Its not. Greek yogurt is sour, so its a good sour cream replacement.

    in the chicken salad i make, greek yogurt is a great substitute for mayo.

    i did say SOME things. not EVERYthing.

    i have zero desire to put it on a sandwich. lolol

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

    ive been using these on egg white breakfast sandwiches
