What to eat for lunch?

In case you can’t take home cooked meals to work every day, here are some of the best options that might be available in your local deli or canteen:

-       Soup – go for one that is full of veggies and light on cream

-       Sandwich – go for whole grain bread and limit to 1-2 slice of cheese or processed meat.  Lots of salad!

-       Salad is wonderful – but beware of adding a pile of processed meat, candied nuts, cheeses and oily / creamy dressing.  Best to focus on as many veggies as possible + 1-2 ‘indulgences’ like dressing and a small amount of cheese

-       Mexican food – A burrito is full of nutrition – but the portion size and calories is generally enough to feed 2-3 people- consider this an indulgence and try to stick to ½ burrito – and skip the corn chips!

-       Japanese – sushi and miso soup is great
