Why Not Bag It?

Everywhere you look – whether it’s on TV or on online – someone somewhere is telling you what you can and cannot eat. Lately, it seems like everything is bad! Forget the pizza, burgers, and wings – too much sodium and fat. The delectable devil’s food cake that is calling your name has too many calories and carbs. Even your beloved iced cappuccino from the local convenience store is weighing you down. So, does man or woman really have to live on bread and water alone? Not at all! Instead of heading out to a fast food burger joint, pack your own lunch. Opt for tuna salad or turkey breast made with low-fat mayo on whole wheat bread with some romaine lettuce or coleslaw mix. Pop up some popcorn and munch on that instead of chips. If water is too boring, flavor it with fresh fruit like strawberries or lemons or add a splash of your favorite juice. Still bored? Add some low-calorie beverage mix to your water bottle for good taste. Don’t brown bag your exciting and tasty lunch – pack away that noon meal in your hot pink or black Koozie lunch sack. It’s insulated, so that tuna salad will stay fresh and cold, perfect for noshing.
