Want a balanced lunch that offers fiber and protein? A sandwich has your back, but choose the wrong add-ons and condiments, and it’s a whole day’s worth of calories in a few bites. Here are ways to cut calories from this favorite lunchable — they may not be huge amounts, but keep in mind that little bits definitely add up.
- Whole-wheat pita (170) instead of two slices of whole-wheat bread (200): saves 30 calories
