What to eat for lunch at the office

Every day, million of people eat outside their houses, in order not to lose time during their lunch break. Some use the canteen, others prefer to go to a bar for a quick meal. Others bring food from home, saving time and money.

However, it is essential to eat a well-balanced meal during your lunch break, since you may have to eat at the office for several days of the week. Sometimes we resort to a sandwich or a salad, simple to prepare and quick to consume. But this can lead to annoying health problems and dangerous food deficiencies.

During your meals, you should always eat vegetables and fruits, and you can opt for a single course, which is even more comfortable to carry, if you decide to cook it at home. It is very important to carefully choose the cooking method. Here are some tips.

Tips for your healthy lunch break at the office

One of the problems of bringing your own lunch to the office is that, if you eat too heavily, you risk to be sleepy and not to work well. In order to avoid this annoyance, remember to consume low-fat foods. Moreover, choose light cooking methods, such as steaming or grilling.

To season your dishes, use extra-virgin olive oil and the spices you like, but use salt sparingly. A balanced and healthy diet requires you to vary often the foods you eat. Then, with a little imagination, you can make tasteful meals every day! For example, did you know that legumes are excellent sources of proteins and can replace red meat?

Never forget a serving of vegetables, and at least one fruit: they provide many nutrients vital to our health. In particular, fruits can safely replace the dessert and is also good for a snack in between meals.
