    I've started replacing my Hellman's mayo with Inglehoffer Cream Style Horseradish Sauce. Sweet, but good, with a zip. It has 30 calories in a tablespoon versus 90 for Hellman's, and 2 fats instead of 10.

    Yeah that stuff is delicious too.

    I use Bolthouse Farms salad dressings. 45 calories for 30g is more than enough for a sandwich, usually too much. The creamy caesar is great on a sandwich or wrap with chicken, spinach and red pepper strips. I use the cilantro avocado with chipotle spiced chicken breast lunch meat and the classic ranch with ham.

    Try it, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

    I find a warm sandwich always has a moister (is that a word?) mouth-feel (uhhh...is that a word?) I pan sear at home or pop it in the microwave at work.

    I make my own hummus with chick peas, avocado, garlic, avocado oil, and red pepper. I use it on sandwiches, as a dip, on burgers....

    All those recomending avocado - doesnt avocado have a high calorie content?

    Yes I get there is nothing wrong with that if you like avocado and fit it in t o your calorie allowance - but as a swap for mayo to reduce the calories in the sandwich, it wouldn't really work?

    My typical choice is margarine or soft butter, depending on what I've got. Other choices are peanut butter, pesto sauce, Greek yogurt, and oil.

    avocado is very healthy for you where mayo isn't. If I don't keep my healthy fats at a certain daily level, then I really see it in my hair and skin.

    reduced fat mayo is around half the calories for an equal amount of regular mayo.

    I like to mix a little olive oil mayo and Dijon mustard; still gives the creaminess but cuts down on the cals.

    Typically I use OPA ranch dressing- it's yogurt based I think. Or I will use a mayo/mustard/onion mix. It is soooooo good with ham. And because of the mustard and onion I can use less mayo.

    I put a half serving of bolthouse farms Greek yogurt ranch dressing. A full serving is 45 calories. It's the only ranch I've found that doesn't have that diet taste

    Take the bread slices. Weigh them.
    Take a butter knife, spread a thin layer of mayo, return the rest of the mayo to the jar.
    Weigh the slices again. Is it even a gram of mayo?

    Personally I load my sandwiches with hot spicy mustard (http://www.loewensenf.de/sortiment/senf-klassiker/p/loewensenf-premium-extra-scharf.html)
    tons of tomatoes, cucumbers, roasted zucchini mushrooms, leafy greens. Toppings are only limited by your sense of creativity and sense of adventure.

    I tend to eat a sandwich of some type for lunch - usually either ham or turkey. In order to keep the calories down I've been wanting to cut out the mayo, but cannot stand a dry sammie! Mustard is OK sometimes but really not something I WANT to eat.

    What do you put on your sandwiches so they're not dry - if anything? Looking for tasty alternatives..

    PS - can't do the low fat/no fat mayo either - that stuff is just awful! Thanks.

    I am a huge mustard fan. I have all kinds of different ones in my fridge but my "go to" is a sweet hot mustard. I never use "cheap yellow mustard". I prefer dijon, coarse brown, Dusseldorf style, and when I want a real kick I use a horseradish mustard. If I am eating roast beef, I use a horseradish sauce.

    Maybe try a few different ones and see if something trips your trigger.

    Second the horseradish sauce, it is awesome on roast beef. Salsa or piccalilli for turkey, laughing cow French onion or apple butter for ham.
