Sometimes it is hard to determine what is healthy and what is not. A simple sandwich can be really unhealthy for you. Here are a few easy steps on how to make a fast healthy lunch.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Weight Watchers Bread
  • Sliced Turkey
  • Lettuce
  • Pickles
  • Apple
  • 100 Calorie Snack
  1. Step 1

    Bread can be unhealthy for you if you do not know the right kind to buy. Weight Watchers bread is healthy for you and you can buy it at any super Target groceries store. Wheat bread is better for you. However, not many people like wheat bread so when you buy Weight Watchers white bread you can eat and still be healthy. Take your bread and toast it if you like.

  2. Step 2

    Turkey is a lot healthier then other lunch meats. Take a few moments when you are at the store to pick out a turkey that is low in fat. Take out three slices of turkey and place them on your bread.

  3. Step 3

    Lettuce. It is important to always have a vegetable with every meal even it is a small amount. Slice and wash your lettuce. Place the lettuce on your sandwich.

  4. Step 4

    To keep your sandwich from becoming to dry place a few tomatoes or pickles on your sandwich. It is better to add more vegetables on your sandwich then adding mayonnaise.

  5. Step 5

    Your sandwich is complete. Now you need a few health snacks to go with your lunch. Have a delicious sliced red apple.

  6. Step 6

    Top you lunch off with a 100 calorie snack pack. Make sure you have enough health food for lunch. A full healthy lunch can keep you going until dinner.

Tips & Warnings
  • Be sure to drink lots of water with your lunch.
  • Try not to skip lunch. Skipping lunch leads to unhealthy snacking during the day.
