What is a healthy, easy to make lunch menu?




catch-22


Iâd like to try out a menu with plenty carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and preferably low-fat, that is and easy and quick to cook. When I get home at lunch I usually have little time to prepare food, but Iâd like some new ideas for a healthy menu. Thank you in advance!


Answer
I would suggest you to make a sandwich. Based on your preferences, you wish to have carbohydrates which you can get from the bread, vitamins and minerals from the vegetables and meat inside the sandwich.

Here's a very simple recipe to make a sandwich.

Smoked Beef and Cheese Sandwich

ingredients:
Cucumber
Lettuce head
Tomato
mayo or any salad dressing you prefer
smoked beef
sliced cheese
breads (wheat bread would be best)

Instruction:

* Spread mayo or dressing of your choice on the breads
* put all the ingredients on top of a slice of bread
* top the second slice of bread on top
* give it a gentle press just to bind all of them together
* and there you have it.

Enjoy

Easy healthy recipes?




Waffles


Im looking for some easy healthy recipes. something quick and nothing too special. I mean i eat tuna straight from a can or mix it with fat free yogurt and spread some on bread. I eat cottage cheese on bread (Fat free). Im looking for simple things like that, where i get some good protein while avoiding fat and keeping the carbs rather low. Im not a fan of salads however i do like mixing chopped up vegetables as long as i stay away from the things i dont like.

Ill list some things i do not like:
celery
regular lettuce
raw onion
cabbage

Now some things i do like
cucumber
mushroom
olive
chicken
turkey
fish (all of them)
seafood


Im tring to lose weight and im no chef so i need to come up with ideas so i stop eating the same 3 things every day. Also some healthy deserts would be nice for a snake. i found cinnamon and cottage cheese was actually quite good. something similar that stays very healthy.



Answer
I don't know if you like yogurt, but kefir is a great alternative to yogurt - more healthful punch and great if wanting to lose weight. You may want to check into it. You can get it lowfat and drink like a shake or add nutty granola for breakfast. Kefir will also help your digestion and keep bacteria balanced while you diet.

You can also put some kefir in the blender with your favorite fruits and make a great morning drink.

Cucumbers make a great sandwich! We use them here on sandwiches in the summer when they are in season.

Try stir frying your favorite veggies with a bit of chicken. Very easily done by just adding some coconut oil (healthful fats) to a pan and tossing in your favorite chopped veggies and chicken. To season add a bit of soy sauce and giner. Light, easy and served on a bed of rice it makes a great quick low cal meal with lots of nutrients.

Take care with the fish and tuna. Most are contaminated with mercury, which the body doesn't like to eliminate. There are dietary guidelines based on the mercury content. I believe tuna they say no more than once a week.

The cinnamon is a great add. Put it on whatever you want. It aids digestion and will help with your weight loss goals.
