All of a sudden, the things you used to like to eat, are on the forbidden list. Why? Because when you have diabetes, it's important to maintain a healthy weight. If you're overweight, it's even more important to watch what you eat, everyday.<br /><br />If you work, then eating lunch can get even more complicated. Cafeterias, fast food places, and vending machines are notorious for having few healthy choices available. Bringing a lunch from home is better. But you still have to watch the calories, fat grams and carbs, in the food you bring from home. What are the healthiest choices? Let's build a lunch, using About.com's nutritional website, CalorieCount.com. Calorie Count provides nutrition facts for hundreds of different foods.<br /><br /><h3><em><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">A So-so Lunch</span></strong></em></h3><ul><li>Tuna salad: 159 calories, 8 fat grams, 8 grams carbs</li><li>Whole wheat pita: 170 calories, 2 fat grams, 35 grams carbs</li><li>Iceberg lettuce: 8 calories, 0 fat grams, 2 grams carbs</li><li>Cream of broccoli cheese soup: 170 calories, 11 fat grams, 15 carbs</li><li>Soda: 100 calories, 0 fat grams, 27 carbs</li><li>Chocolate sandwich cookies: 160 calories, 7 fat grams, 25 carbs</li></ul><br />This lunch adds up to 767 calories, 28 fat grams, and 112 carbs<br /><br /><br /><h3><em><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">A Good Lunch</span></strong></em></h3><ul><li>Tuna salad: 159 calories, 8 fat grams, 8 carbs</li><li>Whole wheat bread: 140 calories, 2 fat grams, 24 carbs</li><li>Romaine lettuce: 2 calories, 0 fat grams, 0 carbs</li><li>Cream of tomato soup: 130 calories, 2 fat grams, 26 carbs</li><li>Milk: 122 calories, 5 fat grams, 11 carbs</li><li>100-calorie pack of cookies: 100 calories, 2 fat grams, 20 carbs</li></ul><br />This lunch adds up to 653 calories, 19 fat grams, 89 carbs<br /><br /><br /><br /><h3><em><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">A Better Lunch</span></strong></em></h3><ul><li>Deli ham: 60 calories, 2 fat grams, 0 carbs</li><li>Whole wheat bread: 140 calories, 2 fat grams, 24 carbs</li><li>Lettuce and tomato: 12 calories, 0 fat grams, 2 carbs</li><li>Chicken noodle soup: 120 calories, 2 fat grams, 7 carbs</li><li>Iced tea: 0 calories 0 fat grams, 0 carbs</li><li>3-1/4" dia. apple: 110 calories, 0 fat grams, 30 carbs</li></ul><br />This lunch adds up to 422 calories, 6 fat grams, 63 carbs<br /><br /><br /><br /><h3><em><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Best Lunch</span></strong></em></h3><ul><li>Deli ham: 60 calories, 2 fat grams, 0 carbs</li><li>Corn tortilla: 70 calories, 1 fat gram, 14 carbs</li><li>Lettuce and tomato: 12 calories, 0 fat grams, 2 carbs</li><li>Black olives: 40 calories, 3 fat grams, 2 carbs</li><li>Vegetarian vegetable soup: 67 calories, 2 fat grams, 12 carbs</li><li>Hot or iced green tea, or water: 0 calories, 0 fat grams, 0 carbs</li><li>1 cup of grapes: 62 calories, 0 fat grams, 16 carbs</li></ul><br />This lunch adds up to 271 calories, 8 fat grams, 46 carbs<br /><br /><table align="center" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" width="625"><br /><tbody><tr> <td colspan="4" align="center"><b>BUILD A HEALTHY LUNCH</b></td> </tr><tr><td colspan="1" align="center"><b>SO-SO</b></td> <td colspan="1" align="center"><b>GOOD</b></td> <td colspan="1" align="center"><b>BETTER</b></td><td colspan="1" align="center"><b>BEST</b></td> </tr><tr><td align="center">Tuna salad</td> <td align="center">Tuna salad</td> <td align="center">Deli ham</td><td align="center">Deli ham</td></tr><tr><td align="center">Iceberg lettuce</td> <td align="center">Romaine lettuce</td> <td align="center">Lettuce and tomato</td><td align="center">Lettuce, tomato and black olives</td></tr><tr><td align="center">Whole wheat pita</td> <td align="center">Whole wheat bread</td> <td align="center">Whole wheat bread</td> <td align="center">Corn tortilla</td></tr><tr> <td align="center">Cream of broccoli cheese soup</td> <td align="center">Cream of tomato soup</td> <td align="center">Chicken noodle soup</td><td align="center">Vegetarian vegetable soup</td></tr><tr><td align="center">Chocolate sandwich cookies</td> <td align="center">100 calorie pack cookies</td> <td align="center">3-1/4" dia. apple</td><td align="center">1 cup grapes</td></tr><tr><td align="center">Soda</td> <td align="center">Milk</td> <td align="center">Iced tea</td><td align="center">Hot or iced green tea or water</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><strong>Related</strong> : <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a title="Diabetic Chocolate Cake" href="http://diabeticchocolatecake.blogspot.com/">Diabetic Chocolate Cake</a></span><br /><strong>Related</strong> : <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a title="Cake Recipe" href="http://diabeticchocolatecake.blogspot.com/search/label/Cake%20Recipe">Cake Recipe</a></span></div><br /><strong>Related</strong> : <strong>Chocolate Cake Recipes</strong> By Debra Manzella, R.N., About.com Guide ~ <em>Chocolate Cake Recipes</em><em> </em>, <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Diabetic Chocolate Cake</span></em>CarClassichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15336900685875273726noreply@blogger.com0
