Lunch is the most important meal in a day, which provides 40% of the energy consumed by a person all day. Many people choose to bring their own lunch for work reasons. In this case, how to ensure a balanced nutrition; What should I put in the lunch box and what should I not put in it?

Food to be packed: fruit, rice, beef, bean products, all kinds of non-green vegetables, yogurt, etc.

In order to ensure enough energy for lunch, foods containing protein, vitamins and minerals are essential. Half an hour before lunch, you'd better eat some fruit. Rice is the best staple food. If you add soy products containing high-quality plant protein, the nutrition will be more comprehensive. Among vegetables, towel gourd and lotus root contain more cellulose; In addition, you can also choose celery, mushrooms, radishes and so on. When cooking, just stir-fry vegetables until they are half cooked, so as to avoid further damage to their nutrients when microwave heating. Try to choose meat dishes with less fat, such as beef and chicken. It is best to drink some yogurt after meals to promote digestion.

Foods that should not be packaged: fish, seafood, green leafy vegetables, Sichuan-style pork, patties, fried rice.

The biggest disadvantage of rice is that after a morning, the nutrient loss in food is more serious, and it is easy to deteriorate when the temperature is high. Therefore, it is best not to bring fish and seafood, because they are hotbeds for the reproduction of Escherichia coli, and they are most prone to spoilage.

In addition, all kinds of green leafy vegetables contain different amounts of nitrate. If it is overcooked or left for too long, not only will vegetables turn yellow and taste bad, but nitrate will also be reduced to toxic nitrite by bacteria, causing people to have different degrees of poisoning symptoms. It is best not to bring Sichuan-style pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, patties and fried rice, because the fat and sugar are high. Don't bring leftovers, because it's easier to spoil.
