Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
A
healthy lunch can be one of the hardest meals to achieve because most people eat lunch out. Most restaurants offer
potato chips, French fries or other fattening sides with their lunch offerings, even if the main dishes are fairly
healthy, not to mention that the portion sizes will most likely be larger than anything you would prepare yourself. The
best thing you can do to make sure you have a healthy lunch is to bring one from home.
A home-packed lunch can include the same sandwich and chips that you could have purchased, but with you controlling the portion sizes. If you find that you either don’t have time to prepare a lunch or forget to do so on a regular basis, make sure to pack up some dinner leftovers in small containers to bring in to the office with you.
Here are som tips for a healthier, sandwich-including lunch:
- Choose whole grain breads that are high in fiber, which will leave you feeling fuller than highly processed breads. Choose brands that have fewer preservatives, or try to pick up a loaf at a local bakery.
- Use reduced fat versions of butter and mayonnaise and use them sparingly. High-flavor, low calorie spreads, like mustards and hummus, will make your sandwiches more flavorful as well as healthier.
- For fillings, use lots of vegetables and leaner cuts of meat. Avocado is a heart-healthy addition, too. If you like cheese, try to use less of it, or take a sandwich without it once in a while.
- Round out your meal with some fresh fruit, veggies and hummus or a handful of nuts and a low calorie drink, like water or tea. Bring a cookie from home if you don’t think you’ll be able to resist goodies in the break room at 3pm.
