Mayo or no Mayo...???

catrinafinney34 · June 2017

Okay, I do eat boil eggs.... but I'm thinking about making egg salad.... what do you guys think about hellmanns real mayonnaise....

Love mayo but it's calorific per tbsp.

Make it fit in your cals and enjoy

the full fat mayos and salad creams are superior to those lighter ones imo - same goes for butter over margarine, no comparison.

if it fits your calorie goals i don't see why not. egg salad is tasty.

I would go for it if you like mayo. But I think you could maybe make egg salad with mustard (I had some not that long ago, pretty good) but I don't have a specific recipe I can recommend.

I think mayo is gross - miracle whip for me! But if you like it and it fits your calories then enjoy. You could always use less. Or use mustard or avocado or even yogurt instead.

catrinafinney34 · June 2017

I like both actually, but I'm watching my carbs and mayo has less carbs...lol... but I'm making it by serving actually for me...lol so I know how many calories there are... I usually do weigh my food....lmao only time I can't if I go to restaurants....

I'm actually sitting here in front of mayo and Miracle Whip reading the ingredients... I would have gotten light but this is before my diet... I've only been on it for 3 weeks almost lol... and all I did was buy yogurt fruit smoothies and Recovery drinks for after workout... I did get lite ranch and I love ranch but too much fat... I call it the fat people's dressing when I go out lmao

If you're limiting your carbohydrates, there isn't a need to limit your fat too. A low carbohydrate diet is often going to be higher in fat and that's okay.

I always use miracle whip in egg salad.

catrinafinney34 · June 2017

I want to keep my carbs from 61-105.... I would loved to... but I love fruit lol that's great to know...

Finally, a spot-reducing exercise ("lmao") -- unfortunately, not the spot I most want to reduce.

you could try fat free miracle whip or even the walden farms amazin mayo (zero cals)

abikinibyjuly · June 2017

I personally love mayo and I tend to use too much - but here's what I did today for my tuna salad. 1 tbs mayo, 1 tbs non-fat Greek yogurt and 2 tsp. Dijon mustard. It was delish!

inertiastrength · June 2017

I use half mayo or mashed up avocado and some dijon mustard and if it's still too dry I'll use wome FF miracle whip. I'll put anything in a tuna or egg salad tbh lol

upoffthemat · June 2017

I use half greek yogurt at least. Get the creaminess and still some flavor with a lot less calories. I will also add some fresh herbs. For me mayo is more a texture thing anyway and greek yogurt is a good substitute that way

bapity88 · June 2017

Nothing wrong with a little mayo although there are some substitutions. I just got some mayo made with avacado oil, and it's really good. Just measure out how much you're using to make sure you're counting the calories correctly.
