【推荐2】Eating healthily is an increasingly popular goal, but lunch is a meal that is sometimes difficult to prepare and is often skipped (略过). Packing lunches for work or school is sometimes done with less attention than other meals. To form healthy eating habits and plan healthy lunch ahead of time, you can consider these healthy lunch ideas.

Packing lunch for work or school depends largely on equipment (设备) for the kitchen. Workers can enjoy the convenience of a refrigerator and a microwave at their office, but children in school can’t. Many kids prefer eating French fries, hamburgers and so on instead of vegetables and fruit. They won’t always eat lunch prepared in their school canteen either. It’s important for parents to provide foods according to a standard diet.

Packers who have refrigerators and microwaves can have various healthy lunch ideas. Yogurt and cheese are good choices for dairy diet and require no preparation. Besides, a salad with vegetables prepared ahead of time or cooked chicken or eggs is another healthy lunch idea. If you prefer hot lunch, try low-calorie food. Those who are also concerned about calorie intake (摄入量) can drink water with their lunch to increase their feeling of fullness without adding calories.

If you are able to have lunch at home, you can prepare any healthy lunch, such as vegetables, rice or noodles.

Even though lunch needs to be quick, skipping lunch or stopping at a convenience store is not a healthy choice. Healthy lunch doesn’t have to be given up because of the time limit if you plan ahead and consider it as important as other meals. There are other advantages of planning and carrying out healthy lunch, for example, having more energy throughout the day, becoming more productive and saving money on eating out.
