Can't give up my tuna fish sandwiches. I don't like miracle whip and light mayo :( I'm not a fan. Recently I've been using a tbsp of regular and a tbsp of light ..but I feel that's tbsp of regular will be my downfall.. any suggestions on mayo substitutes that still taste like regular?

    I'm not hip to the mayo game. Would the olive oil reduced fat mayo be considered 'light'? If not, then this is what I use. If so.. please don't yell at me. *Bats eyes*

    I've been trying to avoid soybean oil as it isn't a really healthy oil to be eating. I've actually been making my own mayo and it has turned out really good!

    Olive oil mayo is the closest I have found to regular mayo. And it is much lower calorie.

    I use the light Kraft with Olive oil. It just tastes really nice, especially when I make tuna or egg salad.

    I use Kraft with olive oil..... it tastes a little different at first, but you learn to love it.... I do have to say though, it was not meant to make egg salad sandwiches with lol But if you are loving tuna, it works great! :)

    I use the fat free mayo and though you said you don't like it. If you keep eating it you will become used to it and it is very comparable to the regular mayo in my opinion. Plus no guilt. What is better than that?

    I use Nalley's light Mayo, because it doesn't substitute sugar for fat and I think it tastes pretty good.

    You could always compare mayo on food facts.com I do that with alot of different foods to help me pick a healthier choice.

    Duke's. The full-blown, heart-clogger mayo. The stuff with the yellow label that looks slightly yellow in the jar.

    Everything else is blasphemy.

    (That is, btw, *when* I use mayo, which is few and far between. But if I'm doing it, I do it right.)

    I use Hellman's light. It's the only light mayo I'll use. I'm sort of a mayo snob that way:smile:

    I use the real stuff and log it; however, I only put it in the salad, then I use tomatoes, lettuce, or avocado to add moisture to the sandwich. I can't stand the taste of fake stuff -- I'd rather use less of the real thing. Tuna really needs mayo. I can use something different for almost anything else.

    Definitely Best Foods mayonaise! Or, if you're on the east coast, Hellman's! Miracle Whip.... Well, let's just say it's a miracle they're still in business. It tastes like bad mayo and sugar. I don't do light; it just doesn't taste the same. Besides, one tablespoon is only 90 calories, and you're not going to use a lot for one serving of tuna.

    A serving of tuna is 50, the mayo is 90, so 140 calories? That's not too bad. :D

    Mayo is about the only thing I refuse to skimp on - I use Best Foods (not the low fat version either, lol), log accurately, and enjoy every single bit of it.
