For lunch, I love
eating sandwiches do you have any recommendations, aside from
chicken and turkey?
Whatever you do,
try to avoid sandwiches with high-fat contents; such as prosciutto,
bologna or salami. Moreover, meats that are heavily streaked
with marbles should be avoided because a good percentage of
the meat is fatty. For a lean sandwich option, choose ham, lean
roast beef or even low-fat meats.

fried foods with boiled, broiled, roasted, grilled or poached
foods. Limit breads from your diet.
