Do you brown-bag your lunch from home, or prefer to go out? Whether you’re partial to sandwiches or salads, you probably have a few favorites for your noon-time meal. Trying a simple swap can reduce the amount of saturated fat you consume, boost your vitamin and mineral intake, and help you get healthier. Consider one of these to try today:
Instead of cream-based soup like cream of mushroom, opt for a broth-based soup like vegetable or chicken noodle, which are lower in fat and calories.
Trade in that fatty hamburger for a grilled or roasted chicken sandwich. Load it up with fresh veggies like cucumbers, lettuce, and tomatoes for extra nutrients.
Love a sandwich? Swap out that roast beef on white bread for a lighter version of turkey or chicken breast on whole-grain bread instead.
