re: Healthy Sandwich - with pics

pesto is oil, cheese, basil, pine nuts....

I used olive oil and walnuts. I also added garlic. I also cut the cheese in half. Calories are only part of the story, even though pesto has about 30% fewer calories than mayo, half the fat, and the fat that it does contain is the "good fat". So I don't agree with your premise that pesto is the nutritional equivalent of mayo.

I do agree that my mistake here is the bread. Sometimes you use what you have on hand. One thing I'm learning is to use less meat and less cheese. I'll never be a vegan (although I am eating more vegan dishes), but I am cutting back my portion sizes - especially when it comes to fatty foods.

That sandwich idea sounds good, though, and I will try the Greek yogurt. Probably will keep the turkey, though...
