Nutrition Fact: March 1st is sandwich day! Sandwiches loaded with fatty toppings and bread can turn a simple lunch staple into a high-fat calorie dense meal. Instead, celebrate by creating a healthy, easy to make sandwich loaded with nutrients. Replacing white bread with whole wheat bread adds more fiber to your diet, which makes you feel fuller longer. Also, lean protein such as cooked chicken, turkey, or seafood won’t burden your sandwich with excess fat and calories, and is a better alternative to cold cuts which contain lots of fat, sodium, and preservatives.
