Watch your weight by packing a healthy lunch

Packing a healthy lunch can save you many calories, especially if you are trying to lose weight.
Avoid refined bread
Common lunches include two slices of white or refined bread. Even though you may have a healthy filling between these two slices, the health value of this meal could have been higher if you substituted the white bread with brown or whole wheat bread. In addition, the calories consumed would be much lower.
Reduce your calories
Similarly, Reader’s Digest suggests  that having one mini whole-wheat pita instead of the usual two slices of white bread for your sandwich can save you about 70 calories.
Healthy fillings
On the other hand, it’s pointless having healthy bread that is filled with an unhealthy, high fat and high calorie filling, if you are trying to lose weight. Try finding a balance between the two.
For example, a cheese, lettuce and tomato sandwich made with whole wheat bread is both nutritious and balanced. It is not overloaded with fats and oils, which often leave you feeling guilty.
Make packing healthy lunches a priority and keep the weight gain at bay!
