Health Tip: Pack a Healthier Lunch
By LadyLively on December 4, 2014
Preparing your own lunch can be a healthier option than eating out, since you know what’s going into the food that you prepare.
The Clemson University Cooperative Extension offers these suggestions:
- Include a healthy protein, such as lean meat, beans, eggs, nuts or nut butter.
- Include whole grains such as bread, cereal, pasta, rice or crackers.
- Include some fruit and vegetables, especially those that are easier to prepare and pack.
- Include a good source of calcium, such as milk, cheese, yogurt or cottage cheese.
