- 1slice of provolone cheese
-1 egg fried with a little olive oil
-3 thin slice of honey ham or turkey
-romaine lettuce
-spinach
-tomatoes

Is it unhealthy to eat everyday or every other day?
Answer
Thatâs a trick question.
You donât give enough info to get a straight answer.
Likeâ¦is this lunch?
To prepare in advance and take somewhere of just do it just before you eat it?
If you prepare it in advance, you need a refrigeration system (because of the meat/poultry/egg).
Also anything healthy becomes unhealthy if you eat it every day as you do not allow your taste buds to diversify and cannot satisfy a 2 weeks nutritional requirement if you eat the same thing over and over.
Letâs analyze in orderâ¦
Whole wheat bread is my favorite (crust removed and so fulfilling) beside my homemade bread which I mostly use for a hearty breakfasts (I cannot make fluffy whole wheat bread like commercial breads, one day Iâll find out how they can do it).
The provolone cheese or whatever cheese you like is fine as long as you like the taste by itself so it enhances your sandwich (taste it before using it) as commercial sliced cheeses in some countries (like the US) can ruin a sandwich (I find aged Swiss and Munster ok, but still mild). I ruined a Panini once and after investigation I discovered that the cheese I used tasted more like water (I think it was mozzarella, sometimes, youâre not even sure your cheese actually contains cheese if itâs highly processed food). It was more hurtful because I had high expectations, going out of my way with the prosciutto and the pesto and using my Foreman grill as a Panini press. You cannot always succeed when you experiment new sandwiches and recipesâ¦just donât proudly give them to somebody else before even tasting itâ¦and then theyâre disappointed and like âwhat it this? I want your awesome usual sandwichâ.
After all the effort you put into it!?
Some brands (I wonât name those) will have some good tasting kinds of cheese along with dreadful bland taste other kinds of cheese.
The egg fried with olive oil is a mystery to me.
I only use hard boiled eggs for sandwiches as theyâre easy to cook (just boil water), easy to slice in an egg slicer and you can make a batch in advance.
But the olive oil is very healthy (men need 2 Tbsp/day, women need only 1 Tbsp) if you can manage to get olive oil in a sandwich without making it greasy.
Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fats (oleic acids) which not only raise the good HDL cholesterol but also lower the bad LDL cholesterol.
Itâs the best healthy fat (along with peanut oilâ¦unless somebody is allergic to peanuts, so go with olive oil and be safe).
Hopefully, youâre using extra light olive oil or your sandwich is going to taste âoffâ if you cook with extra virgin olive oil that degrades to toxic compounds with heat.
And youâre not using the 100% pure olive oil, which is the lowest quality as itâs not virgin.
Use extra virgin olive oil for salad dressings but extra light olive oil (same calorie content but lighter in COLOR) ) for cookingâ¦baking/frying/roasting as it was refined to withstand cooking temperatures (+375F but has less flavor). Use a big black marker and write âsaladâ on the label of your extra virgin olive oil and âcookingâ on the label of the extra light one because if youâre not confused, somebody else could be.
In a bind, you can use extra light olive oil for salad dressing but itâs bland so youâll need more herbs/spices/mustard/shallots, etc.
BUT do not use extra virgin olive oil for cooking (you can use canola oil).
I use canola oil (polyunsaturated fats) to deep fry healthy homemade French fries.
Limit your egg yolks to one/day. Studies find that eating up to 6 yolks per week is healthy.
(I guess they did not work on Sundays).
You donât get higher cholesterol eating egg cholesterol but eating saturated fat (which an egg yolk has less than one third of it).
Weâve come a long way from âno more than 2 yolks/week to 4 to 6. Maybe one day theyâll study the 8 yolks/week effect (you can have as many egg whites as you want though, more protein there, super low calories, 17 per egg whites, and no fats).
