Healthier Recipe

What I ate on Day 2 for lunch:

Food item	Quantity	Calories	Food Group	Remarks
Tuna sandwich 1 slice plain white bread 1 slice whole meal bread 2 slices tomato 2 leaves lettuce Tuna Margarine Mayonnaise	1 sandwich, 2 slices of bread	410	Carbohydrates, Proteins, Vegetables, Fat (butter, mayonnaise)	Margarine was used instead of fresh butter (too expensive) which is higher in saturated fat.

Healthier Recipe – Tuna Mayo Sandwich

Unhealthy stuff in the sandwich:

·         Margarine – high in saturated fat

·         Mayonnaise – high in fat

Mayonnaise (kinda gross, isn’t it?)

Margarine

Replacements/ additions:

·         Wholemeal bread instead of white – complex carbohydrates have a lower GI

·         No mayonnaise, or low fat mayonnaise

·         Use tuna chunks in olive oil, light for a healthier option – olive oil has good fats

·         Low-fat spread or butter instead of margarine, which gives less saturated fat.

·         More vegetables! Add in some thinly-sliced cucumber too J
