But it's hard to find a sandwich filler that's leaner than turkey or chicken breast. That's not to say that every lunch entree with poultry in it is going to be low-fat and that doesn't mean there aren't other lean sandwich fillers. The Chunky Chicken Salad looks like it should be the leanest of the lot. To its credit, it does start off with lean chicken breast, but this commercial brand has chicken fat and mayonnaise added to the salad, making the fat and calories skyrocket.
Roast beef is a pretty lean sandwich filler.
The roast beef found in the deli is typically made from a lean round cut of beef. If the chicken salad is winking at you while you stand in the deli line, adjust the fat at your other meals to offset the salad. Add celery, raisins, or even grapes for bulk. Stuff it into a lettuce and tomato-lined pita pocket. In another bowl, combine yogurt, mayonnaise, curry, and pepper.
