How often do you end up having instant noodles rather than eating healthy for lunch in the office? As working professionals, we all have the same concern, finding the time to do what’s important. With hectic deadlines, tight meeting schedules and the constant hustle-bustle, we often skip eating a healthy lunch.

Because of their composition, most packaged foods are nutritionally deficient. They are high in processed sugar, refined wheat flour or all-purpose flour, trans fat, palm oil, added preservatives, and other ingredients that can be detrimental to your health.

A worker’s entire day is spent working, running errands, commuting and rushing about. Having healthy meals becomes important, especially for people who are constantly busy, as it keeps them energised. Wholesome meals can fulfill your daily nutritional requirement while bringing a sense of accomplishment. Lunch breaks act like the punch of fresh energy you need for the second half of your day.

Organisations can play a crucial part by stocking pantries with healthy eating snacks like fruits. If you are struggling to keep your eating habits healthy as a working professional, we’ve got a few tips that can help:

1. Swap your bag of junk food with easy lunch recipes such as idli-sambar, sprouts, and black chana salad that will keep you full for a longer period of time.

2. Stay away from maida and refined flour. Eating lunches that are rich in complex carbs like paneer bhurji wraps and vegetable pulao with curd will provide you with healthy fats and proteins.

3. Have a balanced form of carbohydrates such as dosa, rice with any daal, beans or paneer with seasonal vegetables and salads.

4. Do not drink more than two cups of coffee or tea. Coffee is fuel, but make sure it doesn't kill your appetite or make you too reliant on caffeine.

5. Eating healthy snacks like foxnuts, murmura, and roasted chana will satisfy your cravings.
