    I prefer to eat foods as close to natural as possible. I like natural mayo - just oil, vinegar, eggs and water. Great flavor and I just use less to fit in with my calorie allotment.


    Lite mayo have might have less fat than real mayo, but it has more sugar and less flavor.

    I really like the olive oil mayo. The brand I use is 50 calories per TBSP.

    Hellmans reduced olive oil mayo - it's edible.

    When I do have mayo (which is rare nowadays aside from those extremely high-calorie prepared John West tins), I buy Oak Lane Lighter than Light (UK) at 20 cals per tablespoon.

    Olive oil or Canola mayo. full fat. I don't use that much where it will make a big difference in my day.

    Another option to mayo is plain greek yogurt. I use it in chicken salad.

    I just stick with regular mayo and use half of a serving. I can't tolerate the light stuff. It doesn't taste right to me...

    I was told that subway uses Kraft light mayo, so if you like their light mayo, try that one.

    I am kind of a miracle whip gal. (light or regular doesn't matter because I don't put enough of it on)

    Because of my allergies I use Earth Balance Mindful Mayo. It has way better ingredients in it then Hellmans and is all natural.

    just keep in mind that one table spoon of mayo = 2 slice of bacon ( weightwatcher advice )

    i is better to make your own at home

    Does that mean if I use mayo and bacon on a sandwich, they cancel each other out? ;)

    Seriously, we use Kraft Reduced with Olive Oil. We just don't use very much.

    Thanks guys!! I love mustard so maybe I will try adding more of that too. But sometimes like in tuna salad you need some mayo!! Also I never thought about trying greek yogurt instead I bet that would be good!!

    I started using Vegenaise - much lower in sodium than real mayo.

    I eat mayo. Light mayo is yucky.
