Healthy Sandwich: Skip Mayo and Use Avocado
A sandwich sounds like a healthy meal, but if yours isn't a real sandwich without a thick layer of mayonnaise, then you're looking at added cholesterol and calories you could do without.

As you can see from the chart below, you'll end up with plenty of flavor and less calories, cholesterol, saturated fat, and sodium.

A Breakdown of Tiny Tastes
I'm a huge fan of enhancing my meals with a little somethin' somethin'. A slice of cheese here, a pat of butter there, a smear of peanut butter on that. It's just a little bit, so it can't really affect my diet, right?
