Unsweetened tea is fine.

The chicken salad sandwich runs into a few problems. Are you making this yourself or buying it somewhere? The kind you typically find being sold are loaded with mayo and served on white bread. A better option would be making your own sandwich with whole wheat bread, a chicken breast/turkey deli meat/other lean meat, and whatever vegetables you care for.

No problem with mayo if you ask me...

The issue here isn't whats on this thing, etc. it's how often you're going to eat it and what the calorie count is...

I could make you a full-fat-mayo + white bread chickensalad sandwich that tops out at 200 calories, and it'd be alot better than the no-mayo wheat-bread version that is 500 calories. ALot is based on portions, etc.

I'd say go lite on the mayo and would definitely opt for whole wheat bread or whole grain. I wouldn't eat 4 of them a day, but if you're aware of the calorie count and eat it only when you have to, I would say it's a good choice.
When I'm in a pinch: Whole wheat pita, chicken breast cut into strips, dash of miracle whip, lettuce, tomato. Similar but not as complicated as chicken salad.

I have eaten a chicken salad sandwich every day for the last 2 years. I use wheat bread.
I mix up canned chicken with lite mayo, relish and mustard.
I put just a dab of mayo on each slice of bread.

It is the one thing that is sacred in my diet. I can change everything else but this.

Don't overanalyze one meal. If you're getting the results you expect, everything is great. If you're not, it's going to be because of more than just the sandwhich you're eating for lunch.
