Don’t Let Lunch Let You Down: How to Eat Right at Work - Ajit Patel Wellness

You might be able to eat healthily at breakfast and dinner, but lunch is kind of tricky to do right when you’re on a diet, particularly if you’re at the office. Your jam-packed morning means that you don’t have time to whip up something healthy from scratch, meaning that you often have no other option but to eat the oily, greasy, spicy food that is served in your office in the name of “complementary lunch”. Even if you fork out for a salad or a sandwich at a local bistro on days that you are feeling rather guilty about your culinary indulgences and want to be good for a change, you know that you are ingesting far too many calories than you can afford to. Luckily, there’s an all new concept in corporate lunches.

Over in India, a few small companies are sprouting up and offering corporate employees a healthy lunch that is hygienically packed, nutritionally balanced, and yet not lacking in taste. One such company – aptly named CalorieSmart – operates within Gurgaon and is a major help to people trying to look after their wellness and eat right. CalorieSmart provides the luxury of eating home cooked meals without the hassle of cooking them for yourself, as well as restricting your calorie intake so that you don’t have to work out how many calories are in your lunch – you can just enjoy it! On average, a CalorieSmart lunch contains 500 to 700Kcal, but while your calories are restricted, your choices are not. Whether you choose an Executive meal or a Premium meal, you can pick from a wide range of cuisines from Indian, Chinese, South Indian, Mexican, Lebanese, Moroccan, Thai and Continental. This means you can eat healthy foods while also keeping your palate happy!

It’s OK to indulge yourself in pizza for lunch every once in a while, but take a good look at your cafeteria served food. Frankly, how often are you exceeding your calorie intake limits? Not only are you not doing your waistline any favours; you’re also putting your overall wellbeing at risk. Aside from the health problems that come with excessive weight gain, a heavy meal that is high in calories and fried in bad saturated oils will leave you feeling rather uncomfortably full and sluggish. That’s bad enough on your own time, but how is this going to affect your work performance? If you want to avoid that mid-afternoon slump where you cannot seem to keep your eyes open and concentrate on that presentation, you probably have the contents of your plate at lunch to blame.

Counting calories and assessing food labels is time-consuming enough during your free time, why not have someone else do that, while all you need to do is unwrap your lunch and tuck in without feeling like you are compromising with your health? In order for diets to work, they have to be easy to achieve and CalorieSmart meals provide everything you need without you having to work hard for it. Eating light, healthy and nutrient dense food gives your body vital nutrients which offer a ready source of energy and also keep you feeling refreshed and alert. However, if you don’t live in Gurgaon – and there’s a good chance you probably don’t – there’s still hope for finding smart and calorie-conscious meals in your area. Until CalorieSmart hits the UK, it is highly recommend that you do an online research and find out some healthy lunch options in your own city. You already eat healthily at breakfast and dinner – it’s time to make lunch count as well!
