Sandwiches - Are they good for losing weight?

When talking about health and fitness we also need to talk about diets. When talking about diets we also need to talk about sandwiches. This is because they are by far the most loved meal of dieters as it can seem perfect when compared to a steak or hamburger. The question we need to ask ourselves is whether a sandwich is actually helping us in losing calories or it is not doing much to help. You need to realize that the sandwich might not be as healthy as you think and might not aid in your bodybuilding or fitness diet.

First of all, white bread is not a good option. Meats added to your sandwich can match up with hamburgers and fries and we also have a lot of cheese added to the mix in most cases. In fact, people usually put so much cheese that just this ingredient makes up for around half of the amount of calories needed daily. A sandwich is usually just a complete meal put between bread slices and you need to know that in most cases we are dealing with twice the serving size that is recommended by nutritionists. For instance, one tablespoon of mayonnaise has around 12 g. Most nutritionists consider that 65 grams of fat are enough in one day. If we put in three sandwiches a total of 36 g. of mayonnaise it is not that good. Also, we do know that a tuna salad sandwich combined with a quarter cup of mayonnaise has around 20 times more fat when compared with a Chicken breast sandwich.

Let us think about what we can do when talking about sandwiches. First off, let us eliminate mayonnaise and mustard might be a good substitute for most individuals. Use lean meats like chicken breast, roast beef or turkey. DO not eat tuna salad sandwiches anymore and do not add multiple layers of fats. This means that if, for instance, you use ham in your sandwich, do not add cheese. White bread should be substituted with whole grain breads, of course, and add vegetables to the mix instead of fats.
