Mayonnaise
One of the biggest summer “Diet Busters” is mayonnaise. It’s on almost ALL store bought sandwiches, summer tuna, egg and potato salads and even shows up in most “spicy” sushi rolls.
If you look at the numbers, mayonnaise is LOADED in calories. I know I blogged about this before, but in New York, where calories are listed for all chains, those options with mayo possess hundreds of calories more than the non-mayo options.
So, watch what is lurking in your sandwiches or salads. It may be far more calories than you bargained for.
Good luck,
Jim
Jim, what do you think about the new Kraft Mayonnaise with olive oil (reduced fat version)? I pasted the nutrition facts below.
