Have you recently decided it's time to start eating healthy? But really do not know how or where to start? Well in this article I will tell you how to prepare a (low calorie) healthy lunch and snack from home. It's not only quick to make but it's also inexpensive and fulfilling.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Wheat Bread
  • Sliced Turkey
  • Cheese
  • Fat-Free Mayonnaise
  • Bottled or Flavor Vitamin Water
  • Orange(s)
  1. Step 1

    First take out 4 slices of wheat bread, 6 slices of turkey, and 1 slice of cheese.

  2. Step 2

    Now put 4 slices of wheat bread on a plate. Then get a jar of fat-free mayonnaise and a tablespoon. Put one tablespoon of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of wheat bread.

  3. Step 3

    Take the 6 slices of turkey and put 3 slices on one slice of wheat. And another 3 on another slice of wheat bread.

  4. Step 4

    Take your one slice of cheese and break it in half. Then put one on each slice of wheat breads without the turkey. Now close your sandwiches up and wrap it up with either aluminum foil or put it in a (reusable) plastic sandwich bag. Then place it in your refrigerator.

  5. Step 5

    Now take out an orange, peel it, then place it in a reusable plastic zip lock and put it into the refrigerator. ( After peeling your orange do not break it in half. Wait until lunch time before your break it in half. So you could preserve the juices.)

  6. Step 6

    Now that everything is prepared , simply get a bag (paper or plastic) put your turkey sandwich and peeled orange into it along with a bottle of vitamin water. And now you have a nice healthy low calorie lunch to eat were ever you choose. Work , school, or on the road etc. Good Luck!

Tips & Warnings
  • If this sandwich is a tad to light for you, add lettuce and tomatoes. This will make your sandwich more fulfilling.
