Prepare A Healthy Low Calorie Lunch And Snack

Eating healthy does not mean eating bland, tasteless food. You can eat delicious, nutritious meals all day long. A healthy lunch may seem problematic because of your work schedule. Rest assured that you can still find wholesome, low-calorie, easy-to-fix meals that will work for any office setting. It simply requires a little time to prepare the meal or snack ahead of time and you can maintain a healthy diet with no problem.


Instructions








1. Start with tuna. You can almost make a different meal each day with tuna. Start with a simple tuna sandwich, with chopped celery and onion, and maybe some pickles or egg whites if you prefer. Spread it between two pieces of whole grain bread and you have your main course. Add a small salad or a few crackers to finish the meal. You can add any number of ingredients to your tuna to spice it up according to your taste. This can include low-fat mayonnaise, apples, walnuts or any number of other ingredients.


2. Make a wrap. Start with a whole wheat wrap and add healthy ingredients to your heart's content. Combinations like peanut butter and fruit or avocado and turkey make good choices. You can add ingredients like banana or lettuce along with any spices you like. You can have a different type of wrap every day without it becoming dreary or boring.


3. Take fruit or granola bars to snack on, which are quick and nutritious. It requires no preparation time at work and will quell your hunger until you get home. For a more varied snack, try spreading peanut butter on a few celery stalks or adding cottage cheese to your fruit selection.
