I know you all probably eat them. They have nutritious vegetables, crispy bacon, a little mayonnaise (If preferred) and on some yummy toast! Yes, BLT'S! I love them! Who else?

    You can get low cal bread, center cut bacon, lettuce and tomato barely have calories, and low fat or light mayo (or no mayo at all, but who eats a BLT without mayo??) :wink: .. Totally can be done for 179 cals!

    Turkey bacon is 25 calories per slice, bread can be 60 per slice so there is 120 and say 50 for bacon. I say it can be done.

    I prefer the light mayo.. dont taste much different. I use Real Mayo though, not Miracle Whip.

    If you are going to have a BLT, just have a damn BLT already. Turkey bacon =/= bacon. Mayo should be real.

    I use the 45 calorie bread with low sodium bacon, lettuce tomato and garlic and herb laughing cow cheese wedge (in place of mayo). Love it!!

    Say around a 48kcal slice of bread (single slice cut in two), 3x 'bacon medallions' (might be called canadian bacon in the US) for 117kcal, then lettuce and tomato for not much and an ickle bit of extra low mayo.

    Amen. Turkey bacon would start a war in my house. I wont even buy it and am the one who usually tries to sneak healthy food in to the menu. Bacon is a gift from god.

    i will give you your 45 cal bread. That only gives you 89 calories left for bacon. Not enough bacon.

    I use white enriched bread which I buy from walmart. It's 120 calories for 2 slices. But I know wheat would be better.
    Hellman's mayonnaise , half a tablespoon for 50 calories.
    Lettuce (as much as I want.) But today was only 4 calories.
    Fresh tomato, today was only 5 calories.
    Bacon - I personally use precooked bacon because it's faster with a busy schedule , it's 24 calories for 2 slices but today I only used 1 because I only had 1 left, lol but that's 12 calories.
    All together it was actually 191, I just checked but it was filling to me, yummy and a good calorie-limit.
    & if you use lower calorie bread, like the 45 calorie bread it'll be even lower :)
    But shoot, a 300-350 calorie BLT would be just fine with me, just sharing how i made my YUMMY blt.


    And it's not a snack, it was a meal "my dear"

    Four slices with the precooked bacon I use, though uncooked bacon would be better:) But i like my precooked just fine!

    I looooooove regular bacon, however i don't have much time usually. So I use precooked. It's not turkey bacon though. It's pretty good!

    Awe, mayonnaise is so delicious.. Lol. But it's probably a good thing you are because that stuff is fattening but I can't do without. :)

    You had a BLT with only one slice of bacon!?!?

    What's the point of that?

    ETA: Said by someone who loves just tomatoes and mayo on bread, but still. One slice of bacon isn't even worth it.

    Lol, it was still good because I love veges, toast and mayonnaise and the bacon gave it flavor but i wish i had like 4 pieces of bacon on that thing, i only had 1 left sadly. But getting more today:) As i said a BLT could have 300-350 calories or even 400 and I'd be fine, just sharing what I PERSONALLY did today. And the fact that it still tasted good regardless!

    Well I'm gluten free so I don't do bread and I can't eat night shades so the tomatoes are out but the bacon sounds good! :D I'll just eat 179 calories worth of bacon.

    Healthy Life has 35 calories a slice so 70 a sandwich and now you can have 3 slices of bacon :bigsmile: I get it at Kroger or Walmart.

    Agreed! It is, after all, a BACON, lettuce and tomato sandwich!

    One quick tip OP. Get real bacon, put it in the oven while you are prepping the rest of the sammich. If it's not done yet, go take out the trash or check the mail or whatever it is you do. Come back, remove bacon from oven and eat more bacon.

    And 179 calories is not a meal.

    12.5 calories per slice is pretty good. What brand is it?
