4 Easy ways to cut calories from your sandwich
You can be one of those who packs a big fat sandwich for lunch for everyday. A homemade lunch is the easiest way to reduce weight and help to keep a track on our calories. If you think that you are still having a fatty sandwich, here are a few easy ways to reduce calories from your everyday lunch sandwich.
1. Select a diet friendly sandwich filling – Be creative and select different combinations with your bread with new flavours. Also be careful of the fish and meat filling that might sound healthy. For instance, the fish filling might have combined with cream cheese which makes the filling with high calories.
2. Select a low calorie bread – Bagels, baguettes and hearty rolls are a no no, so select a diet friendly bread instead. Things like bagels and baguettes can increase the calories of the sandwich to a new level. Whole wheat bread, whole wheat pita bread, farm light style bread and many such products can reduce calories from the sandwich.
3. Select the proteins wisely – A thin slice of chicken has 50 calories and a thin slice of turkey has 60 calories. Avoid using beef as it has almost double the calories than chicken.
4. Go Veggie – Vegetable fillings can be the best to remove calories from the sandwich. A grilled eggplant has just 20 calories and mushrooms grilled have just 15 calories.
