Snack Your Way to a Healthy Lunch
Whether you’re packing your own lunch or heading to the dining hall, the chart below can help you balance your afternoon meal!
Instead of fixing a sandwich or serving up a large entree for lunch, try picking up one item from 4-5 of the columns below. These healthy servings can combine for a nutritious (but filling) meal!
Of course, it’s always important to keep your body and your goals in mind – no one is the same, after all! For instance, if you’re looking to lose a little weight, add more vegetables and limit intake from the “other” column. Or, if you’re highly active increase your choices from the grain and fruit columns.
