Watching Your Diet But Love Mayonnaise? Check This Out!
Posted on Monday, November 17th, 2008
I’ve sort of eliminated bread from my diet, not entirely, but pretty much. Yes, I still enjoy a BLT or tuna sandwich with mayonnaise once in awhile. When I’m doing a little better on my diet, I have a little tuna salad, chicken salad, or egg salad on fresh spinach, but the salad is still made with mayonnaise, which is a bit questionable on any diet. I like using mayonnaise in my food, but I have read the nutrition label and it’s a scary thing. Maybe not so much now though.
If you haven’t already tried this, you should. Olive Oil Mayonnaise. Ta Da! It tastes great and is better for you. Here’s a quick rundown of the nutrition facts:
1 Tblsp. Regular 1 Tblsp. Olive Oil
Calories 90 50
Calories from fat 90 45
Total fat 10 g 5 g
Saturated fat 1.5 g 0.5 g
Polyunsat fat 6.0 g 2.5 g
Monunsat fat 2.5 g 1.5 g
Cholesterol 5.0 g 5.0 g
Sodium 90 mg 120 mg
Stacks up pretty well, don’t you think? Olive Oil Mayo does have more salt, so I just reduce the amount of salt I add to my salad. And, believe it or not, Olive Oil Mayonnaise is the same price as Regular Mayonnaise in my store. I’m hooked.
Just thought you’d like to know.
