Nutrition Facts
Need a reason to bring your lunch from home? Here are a few:
Save money. When you buy your lunch, the average cost is $10. That adds up to $2400 a year!
Save on calories, saturated fat and sodium. Get extra fibre, vitamins and minerals. On average, buying your lunch adds 158 calories a day. If you buy your lunch 5 days a week, that's an extra 39,500 calories which adds up to 11 pounds of weight gain a year!
Think outside of the lunch box and replace sandwiches with dishes that put takeout to shame! During the week, double dinner recipes so you can take leftovers for lunch. Saving time and eating healthy meals is all about cooking once and eating twice (or three times… or more).
