just take a good look at your plate everytime you eat

less carbs, less oily junks, less sugar

more lean meat, more veges, more fruits

and have a step tracker if you cant go for sweaty sessions every day

Yes, packing cold food for lunch box would be good. But personally I’m ok with McD beefy burger for nutrition wise. Just make sure avoid frites and coke.

Salads? Or you can make healthier options in the hot food you're cooking e.g. less gravy food, more lean meat, more vegetables etc go for brown rice instead of white rice

Usually super foods are healthier options like quinoa. Wholewheat soba is a pretty goood option for cold dish!

Hi TS. I assume that you have started working already.
Have you had any luck with having a healthier lunch?
For me, I still eat chap fun mixed rice but cut down the portions (less rice), cut down on the fatty fried foods, more vege & tofu and no more sweet drinks but drink the free Chinese tea. blush.gif

Used to, stop already
You need it at first to have a rough estimate of what you're eating

well I think you said it the best, cooking at home helps;
you are in control of using healthy oils and ingredients.
also, if you get too lazy and not want to cook, you don't eat; helping you stay fit smile.gif
