Dietary curd paste for sandwiches
One of the best and healthiest options for spreading on sandwiches is curd paste. Since it is not always possible to buy a product that contains a minimum of calories, the best option is to cook it yourself, carefully selecting all the necessary ingredients.
You need to prepare such a pasta, of course, from low-fat cottage cheese. You can take cottage cheese with 0% fat content, 2% or even 5%. Instead of regular cottage cheese, it is also good to use grained cottage cheese (the fat content ranges from 0% to 9%). The advantages of this version of cottage cheese are that you no longer have to add low-fat sour cream or natural yogurt, since this cottage cheese contains salted cream.
We offer the following pasta options for pp sandwiches:
- low-fat cottage cheese + dill + cucumber + mint + low-fat sour cream + spices to taste.
- low-fat cottage cheese + natural yogurt + spinach + spices.
- cottage cheese + green olives + any greens + spices.
- low-fat cottage cheese + lightly salted salmon + greens + low-fat sour cream + spices.
- grain cottage cheese + sweet peppers + herbs + natural yogurt + spices.
All ingredients must be thoroughly blended in a blender until a homogeneous consistency of thick sour cream is obtained.
PP sandwiches with avocado - 20 dietary recipes
How to make a sandwich healthy and low-calorie?
Many people believe that losing weight and sandwiches are incompatible things. And in vain! After all, you can show a little imagination and make the sandwich dietary. Moreover, such a dish is in no way inferior to a classic snack, although it contains 2-3 times fewer calories.
First of all, you need to give up yeast bread made from wheat flour. It is too high in calories, has a high glycemic index and contains a huge amount of fast carbohydrates. As a base for a sandwich, you can use bread, whole grain, bran and yeast-free baked goods, and lavash.
But the options for fillings simply cannot be counted - eggs, vegetables, lean meat or fish, cheeses, natural pates, and so on. It is advisable to avoid sausage and ham (or cook them at home).
Store-bought sauces, mayonnaise, ketchups are taboo foods on a healthy diet. And the butter present in the classic sandwich makes the dish too high in calories. Replace these ingredients with sour cream, natural yogurt, grated cottage cheese or cottage cheese. You can even quickly make ketchup - just remove the skin from the tomato, grind it in a blender and boil the mixture until thickened by adding 1 tbsp. rice flour.
If consumed excessively, even low-calorie foods will be stored in fatty tissue. Control your portions and try not to eat more than 2-3 sandwiches at one meal. Feel free to eat them for breakfast, snack or lunch, but try to limit them in the evening meal.
PP tuna sandwiches
Tuna sandwiches occupy a special place in dietary nutrition. Per 100 grams of this product there are as many as 24 grams of protein, which is extremely important if you are on a diet. At the same time, the calorie content of tuna is only 120 calories, so tuna is an excellent replacement for sausage and fatty meats. To prepare such a snack, you can use not only boiled tuna, but also in its own juice. The calorie content of such canned food is only about 100 calories per 100 grams!
PP tuna sandwich can be prepared in the following variations:
- rye bread + Philadelphia cheese + tuna in its own juice + tomatoes + greens. Spread a slice of bread with low-fat cheese, place tuna, tomato slices on top and sprinkle with herbs and cover with another slice of bread.
- rye bun + curd pasta + tuna in its own juice + boiled egg. We cut the bun into two parts, spread one part with curd paste, put boiled egg slices and tuna on top.
- whole grain bread + natural yogurt + tuna in its own juice + tomatoes. Spread natural yogurt on bread, put tuna and tomato slices on top.
- whole grain bread + lettuce + avocado + tuna in its own juice. Place lettuce, avocado slices and tuna on top of the bread. If desired, you can add herbs and spices.
- whole grain bread + tuna + lettuce + celery stalk + spices. Cut the celery into small pieces and mix with the tuna. Toast a slice of bread in the toaster, spread it with tuna and celery, put lettuce leaves on top and cover with a second slice.

Chicken breast for sandwiches in the oven
To make chicken sandwiches tasty and juicy, you need to properly prepare the chicken fillet. Due to the fact that this part of the chicken contains very little fat, very often cooked chicken breast is very dry and tasteless. To avoid dryness, we recommend preparing this part of the meat as follows:

Leave until completely cool.

More details about the dish
Of course, if you generously butter a bun, this is unlikely to have anything to do with dietary nutrition. But it’s worth replacing the butter with cheese and egg spread, and the baked goods with crispbread or whole grain bread, and you’ll get the breakfast of a champion!
It is important to create a recipe for a diet sandwich according to the rules of a healthy diet - and voila, a familiar and quick dish is already becoming truly healthy.
Please pay attention to the following points:
- Bread. We take wholemeal rye, slightly dried (fewer fermentation products) or bread with whole grains or bread with bran. Store-bought breads and lean flatbreads without yeast (lavash, pita bread, etc.) are also suitable.
- We do not use butter, mayonnaise or industrial ketchup sauces.
- For meat fillings, we choose chicken, turkey, rabbit, and lean veal.
- We give priority to raw products. We steam, boil or bake the remaining ingredients - frying is not suitable for us, frying oil adds calories.
