Many of us find ourselves fighting the temptation of grabbing a quick lunch from a fast food restaurant on a daily basis. For one thing, fast food is convenient and affordable. On the downside, however, most (if not all) fast food is made from processed ingredients and is often fried and/or greasy. As well, it’s quite difficult - if not impossible - to find anything “clean” to eat in a fast food restaurant since even salads sometimes include preservatives.
When you’re dieting to lose weight, or simply want to eat better, one way to help avoid the temptation is by bringing your own healthy lunches to work with you. Fortunately, there are plenty of tasty, nutritious lunch recipes which are also filling and satisfying, such as this one for Egg White Salad Lettuce Cups. Even better, this is a simple recipe to prepare. Get ready to enjoy a fantastic lunch!
