Margarine - Chose those that do not contain Trans Fatty Acids such as Fleishmann's Premium Olive Oil or Smart Balance

Mayonnaise - Regular - 1 TBS

Mayonnaise - Low Fat - 2 TBS (avoid varieties made with high fructose corn syrup)

Olives (Green or Ripe) 15 = 1/2 TBS oil

Salad Dressing - 2 TBS. Use those that contain 3 grams of sugar or less per 2 TBS. Best choices contain canola or olive oil. Low carb salad dressings may also be used if they meet these guidelines.
