Variations: Lean or extra lean cold cuts: chicken, roast beef or roast pork; shaved.
Mayo reduced the fat and calories by: 1) halving the amount of meat but doubling it's volume by used shaved or thinly sliced cold cuts. 2) halving the amount of dressing, and 3) substituting a non-fat version of a food: compare 99 cal (11g fat) for mayonnaise; 50 cal (5g fat) for lowfat mayonnaise; and 10 cal (0g fat) for fat-free mayonnaise.
