Healthy Options when buying your work lunch

Just discovered Fantasia. Steam chicken and low GI rice, tasty and seems pretty healthy to me. You even get fresh brocolli.

Also like to get a made up salad with two hardboiled eggs for extra protein.

What are you buying for your work lunch?

  • Sumo salad. Though I tend to make my own lunches.

    Quick, cheap and reasonably healthy solution is a six inch Subway. Plenty of good options as long as you don't go crazy with the sauces and cheese. Choose wisely and don't be tempted by the cookies.

    Agreed - something like the grilled chicken is a good foundation, then add lettuce, capsicum, tomato, carrot etc to taste.

    9 days out of 10 I bring my own lunch to work though - far easier from a control point of view.

    I thought subway was bad as their bread is really high in sodium?

    Well, you're not eating it 3 times a day, 7 days a week. I don't add salt to anything I eat, buy the unsalted peanut butter, etc etc, so I figure the occasional Subway is not going to kill me :bigsmile:
