What To Eat For Lunch

If you want to stay away from rice but still want something that can fill you up the right way, soup is the way to go. Soup can easily make for one of the safest culinary options for eating right at lunch. Having just soup for lunch can be extremely demotivating for those who are accustomed to having lunches that comprise cuisines from almost all corners of the world. For these people, there’s always the option of having bread along with their soup. The bread, however, is best had when brown. In other words, whole wheat or any other grainy bread is the way to go. As far as soups go, the options are really endless, but for best results, there are two things that you have put into practice. First, avoid having soup with butter as one of its chief ingredients, and secondly, try having soup that’s more of a broth and less of a soup. 

Hold on, before you come to any erroneous conclusions, sandwiches here do not stand for the monotonous ‘Peanut-butter and jelly sandwiches. Sandwiches really are a lot more than peanut butter and jelly, cheese, butter, and mayonnaise. You, in fact, can have quite a feel-good sandwich without any of these ingredients. When putting together a sandwich, it is important to think about roast chicken, lean meat, farm-fresh vegetables, and whole-grain bread. As long as all of these ingredients are as fresh as the morning dew on grassy meadows, you are guaranteed to get for yourself a healthy and filling sandwich.

For some people, rice is as good as their daily bread. For these people, no meal is complete without a portion of rice. However, the problem here does not lie in the rice but the portion of the same. Unless it’s brown or unpolished rice, inhuman quantities of rice can not suffice for health. If you must have white rice, you can, by all means, do so, but ensure that you don’t have a granary or two of the same. However, when considering the constraints or requirements of health, it really doesn’t get better than brown or unpolished rice. 

Salads sans fatty dressings literally translate to health. Most people falsely believe that salads can’t fulfill the purpose of tickling the taste buds. However, the opposite can hold with a well-made salad. Some people also falsely believe that salads are all about vegetables, when in fact, some of the best salads can be made with fruits. To become a professional at making healthy and tasty salads, it is advisable to buy yourself books containing salad recipes or look up the internet.

Chapatis made from wheat, with less or no oil and had along with a ‘curry’ can easily pass for one of the healthiest lunches that do the rounds in both offices and educational institutions. Chapatis are healthier than rice and, at times, if made properly, can be tastier than rice too. Making chapattis, however, is an art that one can only get better at with practice and discouragement. So don’t be discouraged if your chapattis don’t come out as soft and tasty as your colleagues at work. In time and with practice, you are bound to become an expert at making chapati.
