Answer
An excellent subsititute for butter, cheese and fatty meat is avocado. You might hear people say that it is high in saturated fat (true!), but it is still much, much better for you than other fillings, especially if you have more than one (ie butter AND cheese).
Rather than having a boring sandwich with salad and not much else, try adding avocado to chicken and salad; alfalfa sprouts, spanish onion, carrot, lettuce etc. It's nice with salt and pepper, or a light dijonaise as well, and quite healthy! A lot of lettuce seems quite bland and won't add to a sandwich, so if you can afford it, go for different varieties. Asian ones especially have quite a lot more taste than a traditional cos or iceberg.
I know it's not easy to get Vegemite etc in the States, but any of those yeast or beef extract spreads are very nice on rice-cakes with alfalfa sprouts - for some inexplicable reason, it tastes a bit like chicken! Don't make the mistake of spreading it thickly, you only need a smear. The rice cakes are quite filling, but bland. This way, you don't add heaps of fat, but you get filled up!
Another thing that might be hard to find in the States is tinned beetroot - I'm not sure if you have it at all... It's an aquired taste, but adds sweetness and freshness to sandwiches with few nutritional negatives. If you can get it, it should be tinned in its own (pink!) juices, I guess its kind of pickled...? And it is generally sliced, but you can get baby ones like this too, I think. It's not nice by itself, and will go soggy fast, so it's best in a salad sandwich, eaten straight away.
On that note, pickled things in general are probably a good way to add a lot of flavour without too much fat or salt...
For something a little unusual, you can make fillings of leftover lentil or chickpea salad (you can find recipes everywhere online), which is incredibly cheap to make. If that seems quite heavy, you can substitute traditional bread for lavash or pita bread.
And always eat a wholegrain bread - not only is it full of things you don't get in white bread, it will fill you up, and contributes a lot more to you RDI for grains.
