Lunch break, never skip it, but it's not enough. To keep fit and healthy, without weighing yourself down and having an inappropriate or unwanted bite at work, it is necessary know what to eat and when. Better if we also begin to be interested in why.
Lunch break: why it is important
The first piece of advice that is unanimously given by everyone is that of don't skip your lunch break. It is the worst choice to make, even worse than junk food, because otherwise you risk having a drop in energy, both mentally and physically. This means being more nervous or absent, work worse or, if we don't have to work, don't enjoy the free afternoon ahead.
Even if we have little time or little money in your pocket, let's not just munch on an energy bar or a simple fruit, with a little organization you can be able to enjoy a quick, balanced and healthy lunch.
Many think they can lose weight or avoid gaining weight, eliminating complex carbohydrates, therefore bread, pasta, rice, in truth the foods to be eliminated are others: greasy or fried ones, or packaged sweets and sandwiches with mayonnaise.
What to eat during your lunch break: ideas and good habits
Even the salad, often praised for being "healthy" it is not always the best choice if you want to stay light but have energy. In fact, if we enrich it with boiled eggs, mozzarella and tuna, it becomes much heavier and more caloric than a tomato and mozzarella sandwich or a sandwich filled with simple but complete filling. The best choice is that of a second with vegetables, easy to digest and which stimulates the metabolism.
There are other things to know that can help us choose. For example, just condemn the loaf of bread because although it is more caloric in the net, it is useful and functional since two slices are eaten for a sandwich, therefore about 40 grams. Even if we use regular bread, let's stuff it with proteins and vegetables, not only with the former, but not only with the latter. Avoiding sauces that are too fatty.
If we are lovers of pasta and rice, and we cannot give them up, no sacrifice is necessary. Just prepare them with sauces that also contain proteins which, absurdly, make them lighter. Regarding the desserts, again, no one asks us to give them up, as long as they are not very elaborate.
