What's Really in Your Sandwich?

Make the most of lunch with our picks for healthy — and not so healthy — sandwich fillers

Pickles: Pickles, loaded with sodium, can make you bloated. Pick lettuce instead!

Coleslaw: Coleslaw’s not a bad topping. As a side, it’s 200 calories per cup — get the same flavor for under 50 calories in a sandwich.

Turkey: Two slices of turkey breast have a slim 82 calories — just watch your portions! A piled-high deli sandwich could run 450 calories.

Tortilla: Bread fans get a better deal with a tortilla. Because you only need one, you save calories and carbs.

Tomatoes: Pile ’em on: Tomatoes contain lycopene, which protects against cancer and heart disease. They’re also rich in lutein, which helps with vision.

Mustard: Make mustard your go-to spread: A tablespoon has just nine calories and one gram of fat. Plus, mustard seeds contain a chemical that may help prevent tumors.

Tuna salad: Tuna salad isn’t the health food it pretends to be. Thanks to the mayo, a cup is 400 calories and 19 grams of fat! Make your own with a small amount of fat-free mayo.

Wheat bread: Whole wheat can’t be beat. It not only has fewer calories than white, the fiber (two grams per slice) fills you up. Pick “whole wheat” rather than “wheat,” which can be a mix of white and wheat flour.

Ham: Two slices of ham have more than twice as many calories and fat as turkey. If ham is your fave, buy extra-lean (5 percent fat instead of 11 percent) to save nine calories and one gram of fat per slice.

Provolone cheese: Watching your sodium? Replace the provolone with Cheddar to save 70mg. Or leave off the slice entirely to save almost 100 calories.
