Tips For Making A Quick And Easy Lunch

It has become increasingly difficult to select healthy alternatives for our body

to eat-- so much so that a regular sandwich could be harboring ingredients that are unhealthy for us. For this reason, I've assembled a basic list so that anyone can enjoy a healthy lunch, even if they are short on time.

Healthy Lunch Ingredients: *Pickles and/or tomatoes *Lettuce *Turkey Slices *Two pieces of bread *100 Calorie Snack *Fruit

The first step is selecting the right type of bread. From one loaf to the next, the type of bread you choose can either be incredibly healthy for you or contain a host of ingredients that are not. Wheat bread is always the better alternative; however, many people do not like the taste of wheat bread. For those people in particular, I recommend Weight Watchers bread. It's healthy even in its white variety, is easily found at any Super Target grocery store, and tastes good. If you prefer a crispier texture, toast the bread before assembling the sandwich.

#2 Be careful about which lunch meat you choose for your sandwich. You will want a meat that is low in fat. Usually, turkey is the lowest in fat, so take some time while shopping to read labels. Two to three slices of turkey should be about right for a substantial sandwich.

Vegetables are a vital part of every meal, so try to sneak them in whenever possible. Wash the lettuce and tear off enough for the sandwich, placing it on top of the turkey.

Sandwiches can easily become too dry, which is why many people reach for the jar of mayonnaise. However, due to its high calorie and saturated fat content, it is a bad choice to include in our diets on a routine basis. Try a few sliced tomatoes or pickles instead.

Now you are ready. Cut it half to make it feel more like a meal out. Choose some healthy snacks to go alongside. Maybe some pretzels. Pick up an apple to go with.

Including a 100 calorie snack can really help your lunch last until dinner time without the need to snack in between meals. Making sure that your lunch is complete and nutritious will avoid those mid- afternoon cravings.
