Although sandwiches are on many of our stand-by lunch list, they're often too low in protein and veggies and too high in processed carbohydrates. One alternative to the sandwich is a wrap. Some healthy and low-glycemic wrap choices are Joseph's lavash breads, tortillas, and pitas (made with oat bran), La Tortilla Factory tortillas, and Cedars high fiber/high protein tortillas.
Stuff your wrap with some of the pre-cooked protein as well as some of your pre-cut veggies, and you'll have a great meal for lunch on-the-go. Add some of your pre-cut fruit and you're all set.
If you're trying to lose fat or if you have poor carbohydrate tolerance, you don't want to go too high in carbohydrate during your lunch if you haven't exercised already. Try this recipe below for a great, lower-carb lunch.
