    +1 for light mayo! Just weigh it a few times to make sure you're not putting too much on.

    I love light mayo, tuna and diced onion as a sandwich filling!

    Lunch today:

    1/2 pouch of Albacore tuna 40 cal
    1 Tbsp reduced fat olive oil mayo (YUM) 45 cal
    2 red onion rings 5 cal
    4 heart of romaine leaves 5 cal
    1 THICK slice of tomato 5 cal


    SO DELICIOUS!!

    That does sounds really good. I think I'll be adding those things to my shopping list for next week. :)

    I've been eating tuna for lunch the last couple of days and I've been using Smart Beat Mayo (found it at Albertsons). 10 cals per tbsp and I honestly can't taste a difference. There's also Dijonnaise, which has only 5 cals per tbsp. Not sure how that would taste with tuna though.

    I do light mayo plus mustard (or Dijonaise instead of the mustard). It's a good sub! Fat free mayo is pretty gross though, and full of crud.

    I hate the ingredients in store bought mayo, they all use soybean oil or some other bad vegetable oil, so I make mine from scratch using avocado oil.

    I use whipped salad dressing, tastes the same to me. Just 15 calories in a tbsp. :)

    I use homemade mayo. Good nutrition from eggs and good fats. Totally worth the calories.

    Same here, Smart Beat Mayo. But I think I'm going to try the brown mustard setup mentioned above. In either case, don't bail on Tuna. It's a great source of protein with low calories! My cats even love it. (*ba-dum-dup*)

    i cut out mayo completely and I use Brown mustard, sweet relish and a little hot sauce on my tuna and I could eat it ALLLLL day! I dont obviously but its dang good. On occassion I'll just put hot sauce only and eat it right out of the little pouch.

    This is similar to how I eat my tuna too. I use Grey Poupon, salt and pepper and that's it.

    I use 1-2 tablespoons of light mayo, spicy brown mustard and dill relish. Love it.

    Miraclewhip light mayo is only 20 calories for 2tsp. I hate mayo, but my girl loves it, and 20 calories is nothing

    Reminds me of those miracle whip commercials... "I wouldn't want my children to grow up in a world where Miracle Whip is the condiment of choice".

    greek yogurt! When its plain it tastes like mayo or sour cream (as someone stated earlier) plus I add some SIRACHA! The yogurt and siracha mixture reminds me of spicy mayo that they use on sushi and it tastes SOOO good. I usually have a tuna sandwich with siracha, yogurt, and sliced cucumber.

    mmm now I want that! lol
