Diet Food

Many of us spend at least 10 dollars each day of the week for lunch. Not too many people these days chose to brown bag their own lunch to work. The convenience of a fast food joint on every street corner has driven this society to develop very unhealthy and costly eating habits. We are not only consuming calorie packed foods, but we are also spending a fortune. Ten dollars each day may not seem like much, but it surely adds up at the end of the month. So what are some healthy food choices that we can make in order to improve our health and our financial situation?

Bringing your own lunch to work is the best way to go. This way you can be assured that you are consuming a well balanced meal each and every day. Some valuable food choices include whole grain breads, whole grain pitas, whole grain wraps, vegetables, eggs, tuna fish, cheese, salmon, and lean meats. Once you have purchased these items you can get very creative with your lunch preparation. Just because you are bringing your own lunch to work it does not mean that you have to bring the same boring sandwich every day.
