Healthy Lunch vs. Unhealthy Lunch

To give you a clear example of a healthy lunch versus an unhealthy lunch, I have taken two photos for your viewing pleasure.

Photo ONE is of my lunch today: Tuna Salad with homemade dressing.
Photo TWO is of my dear friend and colleague Francis' lunch: Cauliflower Cream Sauce & Cheese Pasta - "Mac N' Cheese"

Ingredients:

-Fresh Romaine Lettuce

- Roma Tomatoes

- Crisp Cucumbers

- Goat Cheese

- Crushed Walnuts (for texture, and added calcium & nutrients)

- One can drained chunk light tuna

Dressing (Homemade):

-2x tablespoons of EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)

-1x tablespoon of Balsamic vinegar

-1x tablespoon of Dijon mustard

-1/2 teaspoon of organic cane sugar

Ingredients:

Not fully known. This was a takeout order from Fabarnak on Church St.

But I can tell you the main elements of this lunch.

1) White Pasta - Emply carbs and starch.

2) Lots of processed Cheese - Fat.

3) Cream Based Sauce - More Fat and calories.

Moral of the story. Make your own lunch at home this way you know exactly what you're putting in your body. Eat lots of fresh vegetables, and lean meat. Plus making your own lunch saves those pennies!
