Egg Salad Sandwich

[tel3563]

Hi, Just been on fitday site, was very impressed with the diet and fitness log, inputted todays chow and was amazed that my 2 egg salad sandwich's were the main source of my fat intake today at a whopping 36g each, can this be right, I always thought they were my healthiest choice for mid morning protein break?? Any comments? Cheers

it depends on how you make your egg salad
most egg salads consist of tons of regular mayo. If you use a low fat version of mayo the macro's should change a lot.

If you picked from their online choices you need to look at the ingredient breakdown. The mayo alone is way high.

I generally have to break my recipes down because I don't use all the junk that is figured in their recipes.

Ahh, didn't realise you could edit the mayo out, or substitute it for low fat
thanks
Is all the fat from the mayo??

the eggs will have a little
you can look to see how much eggs have

Try making egg salad using yogurt instead of mayo.

Eggs generally have 5g of fat per egg.

Use Omega 3 eggs for your sandwich.

On Fitday I always input my foods as custom and enter the details myself
