By Rose Reisman (NC)-In recent years people have gotten away from bringing their lunch with them to work or school. It's a shame because there are many advantages to boxing your lunch, not the least of which is that it usually costs quite a bit less than buying it every day. The other more obvious advantage is the control it affords you in terms of portion size, fat, sodium, sugar content and also the quality of ingredients that are included in your meal. Preparing box lunches does not have to be a complicated or time-consuming process. As the national spokesperson for Balanced Living for McCain Foods, I have developed some shortcuts to make it fast and easier.
Over the years I've developed a philosophy to achieve a healthy lifestyle - everything in moderation with the key segments of my life balanced with each other. You can do it too. When it comes to food choices and physical activity, not every day will be perfect, but try to get one element right – in this case, preparing a nutritious boxed lunch.
