Mayo?? Which do u prefer?

[lilmispcl 298]

I am wondering which mayo u successful bandsters use for things like chicken salad and egg salad? I am about out of light mayo and was wondering what people think of the fat free or the olive oil type?

I use Best Foods (Hellman's) Light mayo. LOVE it! It's 35 calories per tablespoon, and works great in everything I've used it for.

I think the answer to your question is, if you use full fat mayo, just be sure to count the calories. I avoid it now, because I don't get enough bang for my buck (so to speak).

That's the kind I have been using too. I haven't tried the fat free kind and am worried it will taste gross. Lol

I've had fat free before, and hate it. It doesn't give the creaminess of the regular or low fat. I ended up throwing it out. BUT, that's not to say that you won't like it. Maybe pick up the smallest jar and see what you think

I use a cracked pepper olive oil kind I think it's 35 calories a tablespoon it awesome because I don't need to season my tuna or egg salad

I use the fat free but I add a little mustard to it. It gives a little tang. I use it in chicken and tuna salad all the time.

I use regular helmans but do it half and half with Fage 0% Greek yogurt. Its actually super creamy and I've used it to make chicken salad, Pasta salad, and pimento cheese. I dont like the taste and texture of the lite mayos, and this helps to reduce the amount used and adds some extra Protein.< /p>

I really like the Kraft Olive oil mayo. Great flavor and nutritional bang for your buck.

I have used FF Kraft mayo for years. It isn't bad!! My husband and 5 year old also use it.

Hey, I will ONLY use Hellman's regular or light. If you gave me a blind taste test I would be able to tell the difference. I don't use a lot of mayo because of the fat and calories in the regular Hellman's but I can't use any other brand. If I'm in a restaurant I try not to order anything that is mayo based like tuna or chicken salad. I usually order Condiments on the side anyway.

I'm not into fat free mayo from Hellman's but the light and regular I prefer.

I used the olive oil type pre band and loved it

[blondegal_ 1,028]

I use Fage Greek 0% yogurt and some mustard in all salad type mixtures. The few times I've eaten a sandwich I just used mustard.

Before banding I would use the reduced fat but found the non-fat just didn't have the same consistency or texture or something.

I have found that fat free isn't as effective for me as low carbs for weight loss. I choose regular olive oil mayo the most.

I too use regular mayo and focus on limiting carbs. It is what works for me.
