Tips for a healthy lunch that is just the right size

Lunch has a major impact on your diet. If you don't have lunch or too little, there is a greater chance that you will start snacking in the middle of the afternoon. On the other hand, a lunch that is too large is not good either.

How can you have a healthy lunch? We give tips.

1. Drink a glass of water before lunch

The well-known tip, it also works for lunch:first drink a glass of water to reduce the chance that you eat too much.

2. Keep an eye on the number of calories

A lunch should contain between 300 and 600 calories, depending on your age, weight and how active you are that day. It certainly doesn't hurt to check the number of calories in your lunch.

3. Make your own lunch

It is often healthier than lunch in the company canteen. Moreover, you can influence exactly what you put in your lunch (healthy ingredients of course).

4. Get away from your desk

Don't have lunch in front of the computer, even when you take a break from your tasks. Consciously sit down for your lunch. This allows your brain to properly register how much you have already eaten and when you are full.

5. You don't have to finish your lunch

Keep a close eye on your body's signals. When you're full, you're full. Pack the rest of your lunch. If you get hungry again this afternoon, you can always eat the rest.
