What snack doabout it or do you just grab the easiest thing available and think that a candy bar or doughnut is going to lift you up with the energy that you need; when the body needs some extra energy between three to five in the afternoon. Do you eat too much junk food?
Doughnuts - The high sugar level of doughnuts will end in a midday crash. They are also high in transfats and refined flour - high in calories. Does the grease give anyone indigestion - this is what happens to me. I do not have to think twice about avoiding this awful food. Why would I want to put something so bad into my body. You can substitute a piece of whole grain bread with peanut butter and jelly.
Softdrinks - I have always thought that there should be a law against making and foisting this junk on the public. There is absolutely no nutrtional value to soda - whether diet or regular. If there is a tax on these drinks in the state of New York, they should tax both. Try some sparkling water and fruit juice. Drink a tasty tea or have a refreshing glass of water.
French Fries - Any fried food should be avoided . Fried foods contain altered fats that are not good for the body and your health. Take finger foods (vegetables) Anything but the fried stuff.
Instant Soup _ these soups are very high in sodium and offer very little in nutrion. A better choice would be to have a low-sodium with part whole wheat and buckwheat noodles such as Japanese soba or udon. Make a pot of soup and put it in easy take along containers - freeze it if you it won't last the working week and microwave at work.
