Mayonnaise makes pretty much everything taste better, but it’s terminal for your waistline. It’s one of the most high-calorie everyday foods per measure that you can buy. One tablespoon of mayonnaise has 49 calories, 44 of which come from fat.
Conversely, one tablespoon of Hellman’s Low-Fat Mayonnaise has only 15 calories (10 of which come from fat). Naturally, just switching this for all your normal mayonnaise usage (i.e., as an add-on in a sandwich) will make some difference.
However, where you can really score is by stopping all of your butter and margarine use (in your sandwiches, for example) and replacing that with low-fat mayonnaise instead. The savings can really add up.
The average sandwich probably uses one tablespoon of butter (or similar spread). One tablespoon of butter has an unreal 102 calories - and here we were thinking normal mayonnaise was bad.
By replacing that with one tablespoon of butter with Hellman’s low-fat mayonnaise you can save 87 calories per sandwich. If you eat five sandwiches per week, that’s 1,865 calories per month.
And this doesn’t even include what you’ll save by not adding normal mayonnaise to those same sandwiches. Let’s say you add one tablespoon every other sandwich, on average. Which means 2.5 sandwiches per week, or
2.5 x 102 = 255 calories per week, or 1,092 per month.
Remember we’re now saving that, as you won’t need to add extra mayo as it’s already there as your spread.
I wouldn’t go as far as putting it on your toast, but you won’t notice much of a difference in your sandwiches (especially if you’re used to adding mayo anyway).
Total Possible Saving Per Month: 2,957 calories.
