Here are some ideas for how to make a lighter healthier bacon lettuce and tomato sandwich that won't blow your calorie and points budget:

Bread: Since I'm in maintenance mode, I use regular whole-grain bread, which costs 4 Points. If you want to save a point or two opt for light bread or light sandwich buns.
Bacon: Center-cut pork bacon and turkey bacon are the leanest options.
Lettuce: Iceberg or romaine provide the best crunch, but use whatever you like best and/or have on hand. Even spinach can work.
Tomato: A large beefsteak tomato is definitely the best option. Thick slices of tomato seem to be less likely to slip and slide.
Mayo: Use reduced-fat mayonnaise or change things up with mashed avocado.
