Knowing Good Options For Lunch Foods

You have surely heard before that "breakfast is the most important meal of the day," but if you work full-time, lunch is definitely a close second, as lunch will be your "midway meal." You can end up going into the stretch run of the day feeling sluggish and tired if you do not eat the right foods at lunch; if, on the other hand, you are eating the right foods, you can experience an energy boost that will set you up nicely for the stretch run.

First off, you need to make sure you avoid two things during your lunch: foods that have a lot of sugar in them, as these will give you a "crash" during the afternoon, and foods that are really heavy, as these will make you sleepy as your body works to digest them.

Fruit is a great option for lunch, as it is full of natural energy and other nutrients your body needs, and it is easy to digest without making you tired; in addition to fruit, you can try getting a smoothie for lunch, as you will be able to enjoy the ease of "a meal you can drink" while still getting all the benefits of fruit.

Nuts are another excellent source of natural energy; you can bring a baggie of mixed nuts with you, or you can pack some trail mix that will be tasty and easy to eat while giving you the energy you need!

For people looking to eat "something more substantial" during lung, you can still have that sandwich you are used to, but consider eating only half of it, instead of eating the whole thing; the main thing is that you should eat until you are "content," but not until you are "full," as eating until you are "full" will make you more tired!

You might still get that "2:30 feeling" during the afternoon, but when you make sure you are eating the right foods at lunch, that feeling will be a lot easier to deal with!
