Mayonnaise... good or bad?

[staygroovy]

Hi,

Im personally a big fan of mayonnaise and find it great for mixing in with tuna to add some taste and help the the food from not being to dry. Its also a good source of calories when needing to keep those calories high while on cycle... but I read that some dont recommend using mayonnaise... why? Cause from what i understand mayonnaise is made up of mostly un-saturated fats (which are the good fats). When i run a cycle, mayonnaise is probably my main source of fat for me... right or wrong?

egg whites and vegetable oil. sounds like pretty basic health food to me.

Wrong section. . .

But

Mayo is calories without any other nutritional value. No protein or anything else, just fat & calories.

EVOO is way better than mayo.

it's made with egg whites. how no protein?

[Noles12]

If simply trying to fill in calories and fats it is fine but there are other sources that are better.

If you are bulking go for it. Cutting I would choose other sources

how no protein?

I dunno, just checked the label.

10 fat
0 carb

In the past when I've mad mayonaise it is with only the yolk. Its only a couple of yolks and a bit of oil. Not much protein at all

[Noles12]

Making your own with olive oil, vinegar, and egg yolks can be better option

[castiron]

be careful making your own as olive oil will get bitter with blending too hard. try to start with grapeseed and end with evoo otherwise it will taste horrible

i'm looking at hellman's mayo, only type i eat.

look at the ingredients list

egg whites and whole eggs, vegetable oil....

the macros also say 0 grams of protein. but you can't go by that. the FDA controls the labeling, and they say what range it has to be in to call it zero grams...

common sense says that if the top two ingredients are egg whites and whole eggs, there is damn sure some protein in there. and the vegetable oil is a good source of the "good" cholesterol. plus your body needs a certain amount of fat. as long as you stay within your macros you are g2g

I like whipped cream never needed to use lube.My smile does the job LOL

It is mostly just soybean oil, so it is not really a bad source of fat.
And the reason is has "0" protein is that 1 TBSP (1 serving) does not contain close to a whole gram of protein. So it basically has traces of egg whites.

I love the stuff.

[Roidsbro]

try tuna with mayo.

[erock1968]

Best thing on tuna is the chipolte smoked hot sauce period!!!!!! try it you will love it! hell with mayo

[ata1979]

there are many things I can give up while dieting... mayo just aint one of them. Dude, we aint robots and I dont think your a pro so fck it and enjoy a little mayo. Just dont go crazy with it.

[ata1979]

My new thing is shrimp with avocados, cucumbers and a little soy. just heavenly.

[gixxerboy1]

i use avocado mashed up with a little lime juice with my tuna. It taste better then mayo.
but i agree if you like mayo go for it

[stpete]

Mayo=whipped fat. But i love it on my ham, chicken, turkey sandwiches. I put it in my tuna and egg salads. And won't eat a hamburger without it.

One of the most amazing mystery substances ever made.

Throw a can of rotel and some milk in with a block of it and microwave. Great tortilla chip dip

Love avocado. I eat a few every week. Love making lean burgers with some rice, avocado and onions. Mmmmm.

Damn all this time I have been avoiding tuna cause I can't eat the stuff dry....it may suck as a lube but its the only way I can force tuna down my throat.
