Healthy lunch ideas?!?!?




Carlie


I am in school. I want to be healthy. I don't have time to do anything big, or cook anything. Thats why I want simple quick healthy ideas. Because unusually end up throwing some cookies and a sandwich and a coke in a bag. Help. Nothing to messy either


Answer
You can make-over your current lunch into something healthier. If a sandwich is quick and easy for you, then keep having one-just use healthy ingredients like 100% whole wheat bread, lean turkey or ham, and lots of veggies. Try lettuce, tomato, and even avocado! Avoid fatty condiments like mayonnaise and try mustard or a light vinaigrette dressing instead.

If you like cookies, you can still bring one for a treat, but bring a healthier side dish too. An apple, orange or a banana is quick and easy to throw into your lunch bag, and they're super good for you! Also you might try buying individual bags of baby carrots, almonds or other nuts, or whole wheat crackers like Triscuits! Yogurt cups make great healthy side dishes and are easy to pack. Or try a small tupperware bowl full of low fat cottage cheese.

Finally, instead of Coke, try bringing a bottle of water or tea.

If you get tired of this lunch every day, you can easily mix it up by making your sandwich into a wrap using a whole wheat tortilla!

Healthy, fun, easy sandwich ideas?

Q. Im just getting a little bored with the whole turkey, lettuce, and cheese thing... does anyone have any new and tasty sandwich ideas?? that are HEALTHY? (since I want to lose a few pounds)
Thanks!


Answer
Sometimes it is hard to determine what is healthy and what is not. A simple sandwich can be really unhealthy for you. Here are a few easy steps on how to make a fast healthy lunch.

Bread can be unhealthy for you if you do not know the right kind to buy. Weight Watchers bread is healthy for you and you can buy it at any super Target groceries store. Wheat bread is better for you. However, not many people like wheat bread so when you buy Weight Watchers white bread you can eat and still be healthy. Take your bread and toast it if you like.

Step 2 Turkey is a lot healthier then other lunch meats. Take a few moments when you are at the store to pick out a turkey that is low in fat. Take out three slices of turkey and place them on your bread.

Step 3 Lettuce. It is important to always have a vegetable with every meal even it is a small amount. Slice and wash your lettuce. Place the lettuce on your sandwich.

Step 4 To keep your sandwich from becoming to dry place a few tomatoes or pickles on your sandwich. It is better to add more vegetables on your sandwich then adding mayonnaise.

Step 5 Your sandwich is complete. Now you need a few health snacks to go with your lunch. Have a delicious sliced red apple.

Step 6 Top you lunch off with a 100 calorie snack pack. Make sure you have enough health food for lunch. A full healthy lunch can keep you going until dinner.
