Title: Mayonnaise = Much Maligned, Misinterpreted?
Post by: syntaxmachine on May 01, 2014, 10:13:44 AM
Prototypical Mayo Tablespoon
~90kcal per tablespoon
~2.5g monounsaturated fat, 6g polyunsaturated fat, 1.5g saturated fat
0 carb or protein

Mayo provides a mouthgasm of flavor -- the stuff is God's jizz (no supernatural homo) -- as well as a healthy dose of unsaturated fat. These properties are especially relevant in the context of oft-bland keto diets.

Yet, the nutritional zeitgeist is seemingly against this condiment. This livestrong.com article (http://www.livestrong.com/article/440204-how-unhealthy-is-mayonnaise/) is representative of both general and "expert" opinion on mayo, indicating that it is "high in fat and other harmful dietary elements" and is best avoided.

Is mayo's bad reputation largely a function of its being an easy target for the anti-fat crowd, or is there any truth to the criticism? Does anyone here utilize mayo in their diet(s), especially whilst in ketogenesis?

The only time a bodybuilder should use mayonnaise is when they are having a cheat meal.

One of the best things about being alive is Mayonnaise, specifically Duke's Mayonnaise.

And what if a non-cheat meal calls for fat? Something inherently wrong with oil, mustard, vinegar, and eggs? People can make their own with canola or olive oil if they please.

I am talking about the mayo in the supermarket.

Normally I would charge but for you a freebie, sleeping with wrist and ankle weights will cause you to build muscle while you sleep.

Most people don't measure out a Tbsp of mayonnaise when adding to their tuna or chicken. So what happens is 1 tbsp of mayo turns into like 3 or 4 tbsp of mayo. Use it like that every day for a week and it adds up...

I'm going to go spicy mustard and salsa.

Those two choices make anything taste better.

This.

Mayo stretches really far in egg salad, because it meshes really well with the yolks emulsifying them and creates a good consistency. 4 eggs and 1 rounded tablespoon of mayo is perfect.

However...Tuna is extremely dry and has horrid consistency. It takes at least 2 rounded tablespoons of mayo to become edible. Along with celery and onions.

1 tablespoon on one side of the toast, for a sandwich, is completely tasteless and barely covers the bread, spread on very thin. 1 tbsp adds almost nothing to a sandwich and is pointless. You could add 2 pieces of reduced fat 2% cheese instead of 1 tbsp mayo, no brainer.

To make 1 tbsp mayo worthy of a sandwich it needs to be meshed with something really juicy like a burger..Which is verging on cheat meal territory in which case anything goes so just say fuck it lol dip everything in mayo...On a basic turkey sandwich 2 pieces of 2% provolone adds much more for the 100 cals.

On a baked potato or dipping fries into mayo is amazing. I get bagged frozen fries that are basically just potatoes 1.5g fat per 3oz...I find 1tbsp of mayo enough for 9oz of fries, which is roughly 60carbs. Just caress the edge of the fry in mayo, no need to "scoop" a lot on there...A little dab will add tons of flavor to the rather neutral tasting potato.

But for potatos I generally prefer sour cream. Tons of flavor for no carbs and only 25 cals per tbsp.

What's the deal with Chic-Fil-A (no homophobe) mayonnaise? It's so thick and tasty (no homo). I wish I could buy it at a store in a jar.

I put it on my waffle fries instead of ketchup (no fatass).

Similar to the "Ranch Dressing Packet" it's like a little sachet of powdered ranch dressing that you mix with milk and mayo..Hoooooly shit. Mix it with Helman's Mayo and you will have an orgasm.

Puts the actual bottled Ranch to complete shame..

Most people don't/won't cook. They don't make their own mayo, they buy a jar in the supermarket. A jar of 'mayo' not only full of that creepy fat, but also with large amounts of starches, sugar and all kinds of emulsifiers and so on.

Mix it with Helman's Mayo and you will have an orgasm.

Ew! Hellmann's is rather salty in taste, more like someones orgasm!  ;D
I prefer the cheap 'Zaanse Mayonaise', a nice tart mayo without unnecessary ingredients and therefor also wheat free. Tastes great with potatoes, sweet potatoes, parsnips, pumpkin, peas, carrots, and so on.
