6 tips for a healthier lunch

Could your lunch be healthier? These 6 tips will help you on your way.

Save leftovers
Turn the leftovers from your dinner into a delicious lunch for the next day. If you have a weekly menu you can plan your lunch immediately.

Eat enough
A healthy lunch does not mean a small lunch. On the contrary, make sure you eat enough. Have some extra salad or soup with your lunch to avoid getting hungry in the afternoon.

Fewer calories
Make a wrap instead of a sandwich and go for healthier toppings.

Add vegetables
Don't just eat vegetables with your dinner. Try to eat vegetables with every meal. That is not very difficult at lunch, garnish your sandwich with it, eat some salad or add it to your soup.

View alternatives
No doubt you have some favorites that you enjoy eating for lunch. Take a look at the information on the labels of these products. You may be able to find a healthier alternative.

Get moving
Don't sit behind your desk during your lunch break. At the very least, eat somewhere else, but it's even better to take a short walk during your break. Also read Exercise during the lunch break.
