Lunch can seriously make or break your health goals. I’ll give you an example. Let’s say you decide to go to Panera for lunch, a restaurant most people consider fairly healthy. You order the Sierra Turkey sandwich and a cup of Creamy Tomato soup. Seems pretty healthy, right? Here’s what this “healthy lunch” will set you back though:
- 1240 calories
- 106 grams of carbs
- 71 grams of fat
- 2400 milligrams of sodium
That’s over half a day’s worth of calories and over a full day’s worth of salt for most people. Try one of these healthy lunch recipes instead. Each is well-balanced with healthy sources of carbs, protein, and fat. And, all of them are easy to make … which is important because most of us don’t want to spend an hour making our lunch the night before or the morning of a busy work day.
