healthy egg salad sandwich recipe yogurt image
Frankie
I've been giving serious thoughts to my diet. It's fairly healthy with lots of fresh fruits and veggies, lean protein, and whole grains. I even make my own bread. However, we do have a fair amount of regular dairy and mayo. My husband likes things like tuna sandwiches and egg salad which are made with mayo and then a slice of cheese on top.
We both need to lose weight, but I feel the dairy and mayo may be holding us back. We have cheese almost daily and recently sour cream a lot. I know a little isn't bad, but for me a little seems to grow into more than necessary because I like it so much.
Examples of typical dairy use: sour cream on bean burritos, shredded cheddar on vegetarian spaghetti, slice of cheese on tuna or egg salad sandwich, sometimes we even just have cheese melted on a slice of bread when in a hurry. I also add a cup of fat free milk to our morning oatmeal, but that serves 4 people so the amount each gets is small.
So what are some ways to cut back or things to substitute for the cheese, sour cream, and mayo? I add plain yogurt to the mayo sometimes which cuts it down by half. (please don't judge unless you have tried it, it actually tastes good). I also have 2 kids and don't want them to feel deprived (or me if I only give it to them)
