Healthy Egg Salad Sandwich
With only 78 calories for a large boiled egg, this egg salad sandwich is a winner. A few simple swaps changed this indulgent egg salad sandwich, into a healthy egg salad sandwich!
Eggs are a great low calorie, high protein food! A large boiled egg contains 78 calories and 6 grams of protein. Egg whites without the yolk are only 17 calories, and almost 4 grams of protein. So much of the protein comes from the egg whites, with the least amount of calories! For more egg nutrition calories and macros, click here!

If you love egg salad, you’ll love this healthy version. I got the basics of this recipe from the Body for Life Cookbook, but made a few changes to make it my own!
To make this healthy egg salad sandwich healthier, I used:
- Fat free mayo
- I used LOW CALORIE/ LOW CARB bread, Dave’s Killer bread, Powerseed, thin cut. (60 calories)
- I used one slice of bread, making it an open faced sandwich, rather than two slices of bread.
- I weighed my avocado so it didn’t add too many calories, but added HUGE flavor!
- I added extra veggies! Peppers, celery, and lettuce!
- I only used one whole egg, but an extra egg white.
- I made it for one serving, for easier portion control!

I love egg salad sandwiches, now I can enjoy them guilt-free! I love the addition of avocado on top!
I’ve never actually had egg salad, but your recipe sounds pretty good. I’ll definitely have to try it!
Actually yes! I’ve used different seasonings depending on what I have on hand. My favorite right now is Feast Mode flavor seasonings, and the Kernel popcorn seasonings, I use on EVERYTHING. Not just popcorn.
