The ideal office lunch dabba

Grabbing a bite is all we manage nowadays. With the work pressure increasing in geometric progression, healthy ways of eating have been relegated to the last corners of our conscience. Here are a few tips on how to resume eating healthy once again:

>>u00a0First of all, do not feel embarrassed or awkward about carrying a proper lunch box to worku00a0-- the kind that can hold four things neatly in separate containers. It can be a regular, compact, hot case, or three-four airtight containers.

>>u00a0Now let us look at the components of your lunch dabba. Include something raw, like a salad. To keep the salad from getting soggy, the trick is to avoid tomatoes, use airtight containers, and leave the salt out until just before eating it. Carry the dressing separately in a small container. Ideally, add some sprouts along with vegetables.

>>u00a0For your fix of carbohydrates, rotis or rice are good enough. But don't mix them up; stick to either rotis or rice for your meal.u00a0 An occasional vegetable or meat/chicken pulao can cheer up your dabba.

>>u00a0Vegetarians should carry a portion of dal in their lunch box. All kinds of legumes, including peas, beans and pulses, should make their way into your lunch. Non-vegetarians can experiment with grilled chicken, fish or meat.

>>u00a0Carry a portion of vegetables. Although curries are a tempting affair, they can get fairly messy. It is best to stick to thicker gravies or stir-fries.

>>u00a0There can be nothing healthier than snacking on fruits. Remember to carry a fruit along; they are a must, even if you remain outdoors half of the day. Avoid carrying cut fruits or juice to office.

>>u00a0Finally, carry along curd in a container or chaas in a sipperu00a0-- just the thing to wash it all down in the end!
