Open sandwiches can help you avoid weight gain

Do you enjoy eating sandwiches or find yourself having them regularly? They do make an easy and convenient lunch for those of you who are at the office for the day or are always on the go.

Sandwiches, depending on how they are prepared, can make you consume many calories, and this can definitely affect your weight. Apart from the filling, do you ever stop to consider the type of bread you are using to prepare your sandwiches? Wholegrain breads are a great option as they are high in fibre and may be lower in calories than other refined alternatives.

You could also try to prepare open sandwiches by using just one slice instead of two slices of bread. In this way you will be cutting out half the calories that you would usually consume from the bread.

You may also find your lunch more appetizing and satisfying, as you will be able to see the delicious filling when you savour every bite. If you are still hungry, try preparing a salad to have with your open sandwich or take some fresh fruit along with you.
