    Didn't read all the responses, I use Chobani plain yogurt instead of Mayo.I LOVe that it doesn't have an aftertaste, I'm adding protein and I'm not wasting calories on Mayo.

    I use canola oil mayo but if you are trying to cut your overall fat/calories try mixing a little EVOO with a little horseradish mustard (or whatever flavor you prefer).

    I thought I was being original with the Laughing Cow wedge added to my tuna - until I searched the forum for no-mayo tuna recipes. The light Laughing Cow wedges are only 35 calories. I also tend to skip the bread with my tuna, and instead go for something like lettuce leaves or rye crackers.

    Greek yogurt is also a delicious idea I might have to try.

    ALSO - I always make sure to RINSE my tuna - it drastically cuts the sodium.

    Personally I would still use real mayo. You only need a tsp for 1 sandwich and what does that have 15-20 calories........could never figure out diet food or giving up on what makes food taste good to an individual........moderation my friend.

    I just use mayo. I try to get a pretty accurate eyeball measurement, log it, and make it fit in my daily calories.



    Because mayo is delicious.

    Love that Greek yogurt! I made cauliflower soup the other day & topped it with the nonfat Gk yogurt & it was so good!

    Oh you'll love this!

    Instead of mayo, use bbq sauce. Also, switch the tuna out for pulled pork. It's delicious!!

    I mix my tuna with some black pepper, vinegar and lemon juice to give it a bit of taste. :)

    Dijon Mustard and just a little bit of fat free kraft miracle whip. You can get away with under 1tbsp of miracle whip if you use a good blop of dijon.

    Also, do you work for general mills? I worked there for 5 years before I resigned. Wife still works there.

    Wow - first comment too

    DITTO!
