The bread:

Many people think that only Sandwiches made from sliced white bread are the real Sandwiches. You can also make Sandwiches from other types of bread such as pita bread, tortillas and rolls. When buying bread, you should be looking for bread with a lot of fiber and low calories. Light bread has many delicious variations and has very low calories. If you do choose to use regular bread us the Whole Wheat variations. If you use tortillas use the low fat ones. The regular tortillas are very fat.


The spread:

Mayonnaise is one of the popular spreads. Very nice but not really healthy. It is hard to stay off. My advice is to use light mayonnaise and use a small size portion. Mustard is also used and is very delicious. Mosterd come with a great variaty of taste. Depending on your personal taste you have to find your own mosterd.

The English use Chutney on their bread. Also you have many different types of Chutney. But the main types are sweet and spicy. Chutney is delicious and lucky for us you can buy it in almost every supermarket in the U.S. It may sound crazy but light salad dressing is a tasty and low calorie spread. How about thousand Island dressing or honey mustard or one of your own favorite. If you don´t try you will never know if you like it!
