The most basic meals should always be breakfast and lunch. Optimum, if for breakfast will be 25% of daily calories, for lunch - 35%, for dinner (not later than three hours before sleep) - 25%, and the remaining 15% will take snacks. But if in the morning it is recommended to lean on hard-to-digest carbohydrates (porridge, whole-wheat bread), seasoning them with a small amount of proteins (eggs, dairy products), then in the middle of the day other priorities: the squirrels (meat, poultry, fish) come to the fore fiber (vegetables and wholemeal products) they are "assisted". It is best to rotate meat, poultry and fish and eggs (it is optimal to eat them once a week), because each of these types of food has its advantages and disadvantages. Frozen vegetables are quite suitable as a garnish. Cook them immediately before use (preferably in an electric oven): so the useful substances will not be lost, and time will be saved. Remember that frozen foods can not be kept warm: as melting ice crystals, vitamins also volatilize. And in this case, lunch - an important meal can be moved to dinner. And this is not very good for a working and already hungry organism.
Our advice during lunch - an important meal: order fish and seafood, because they are one of the most important products for brain activity (due to the presence of phosphorus). And be a good girl!
Corporate lunch is an important meal
If you have a kitchen in your office, you can rejoice: you have all the possibilities for making fresh dietary dinners! But before considering the "tasty" options, you should understand for yourself some rules of conduct for the "corporate" table.
1. Non-toxicity. Absolutely unsuitable for office meals and lunch - important food intake products with a pungent smell (with spices, garlic, some types of fish, pickles, etc.).
2. Hygienic properties. Flowing and smearing sauces, dressings, husk, cleaning can cause a lot of trouble for you and your employees, up to resorting to expensive dry cleaning.
3.Correctness. If your colleagues decided to fast, observe a certain diet or fasting days, refrain from openly demonstrating delicacies.
Lunch is an important meal with delivery.
Right on the workstation you can order a variety of dishes. One of the most popular in our latitudes is pizza. But it is difficult to call it a full-fledged lunch - an important meal, as well as a hot dog or cake - rather, a tasty exception to the rules of healthy eating. Chinese and Japanese cuisine have not yet been in high demand. It is unlikely that you will satisfy the land for dinner, but universal meat and fish with vegetables can safely be considered a useful lunch - of course, if you are sure of the freshness of the delivered products.
The only difficulty of lunch - an important meal - the need to search for "starving" comrades: the "breadwinners" offices do not work with "loners" because they are interested in recruiting orders for a certain amount.
Lunch from the supermarket
Immediately make a reservation: all sorts of culinary products sold in stores, healthy food can only be called a joke. Therefore, we are talking about the usual products, the choice of which must be approached with all responsibility.
Instead of chocolate bars, buy muesli bars containing honey and fructose (if you are not allergic).
Quickly about soluble
One of the most common options for an office lunch is all kinds of instant cooking products: soups in glasses, mashed potatoes, "quick" cereals, pilaf, vermicelli, etc. The assortment of these "gifts of civilization" is huge.
In the best case, after regular intake of food with such supplements, digestion disorders may occur, in the worst case it often comes to gastritis or stomach ulcers.
Choosing a package of "instant" food for lunch - an important meal, carefully read what is written on the package. If the list is full of flavors, thickeners and taste improvers, it is better to refuse the purchase. And do not be attracted by beautiful pictures on the package depicting an appetizing chicken, ham or mushrooms: these are just pictures. So think ten times before "doing it in a fast way!"
In Ayurveda , the strength of digestion is maximal before eating. You need to start with indigestible products. There are 6 stages in the degree of assimilation: from heavy to light. This does not mean that lunch should consist of all stages at once. But if you want to eat, say, cottage cheese and vegetables, then first eat cottage cheese (as a product of the 1st stage), and then vegetables.
It includes heavy products: cheese, cottage cheese, sweets. They should eat a little. Raw vegetables, for example, in the form of salad. It is recommended to eat in small quantities.
Bean dishes. It is the main supplier of protein for vegetarians. Vegetables that have been cooked (fried, boiled, stewed). Cereals. These are all kinds of porridge (wheat, barley, rice, millet). Fresh (not heat-treated) fruit or berries.
