Food for the beach days: sandwiches and sandwiches
With the arrival of spring (Be careful with the spring allergies!), the good weather also arrives, and with it the desire to not wait for the summer and enjoy, for example, a good day at the beach.
As it happens in the majority of the occasions when for example we enjoyed a day of field or beach, sometimes we tend to eat anything and that's it, especially to not lose time of sun.
This can not be harmful as long as it is not done daily, although if you are following a weight loss diet or simply care about your figure, you can take a series of guidelines or tips to know what to eat on the beach days.
Beware of sandwiches ...
Many times we choose the simplest: to make a delicious sandwich or a sandwich. As we have said many times, this is not harmful at all, but the main precaution that must be taken is to know how to choose the filling, and what we use as a dressing (olive oil, tomato sauce, mayonnaise ...).
Of course, the number of nutritionists that coincide in pointing to bread (the food usually used to make sandwiches) as an element that could be characterized as pastries, not being as adequate or healthy as you think, is increasing. , not only for the ingredients that tend to be used in its preparation, but for its caloric content and in sugars.
Regarding the filling with which we will prepare the sandwiches, we must indicate that the best choice is to opt for those low calorie foods, such as chicken breast, turkey or ham cooked lean, or vegetables such as thin slices of tomato, lettuce leaves or onion rings.
It is always better to opt for low-calorie dressings, such as mayonnaise light, mustard, ketchup or light white cheese spread.
Of course, when it comes to bread, we can choose preferably whole or bran, although if we do not like this type of bread or we do not have it at hand, a good choice is also to opt for bread.
... And with the mold bread
If you think that sliced bread is a healthy food to include in your daily breakfasts and snacks, we must tell you that you are probably wrong. In fact, as we indicated briefly in the previous lines, there are more and more nutritionists who label it as pastries. Why?.
Fundamentally for its high caloric content and for containing ingredients not as adequate as we might think at first.
On average, a slice of bread mold tends to provide about 99 kcal, divided into 1.1 grams of fat, 19 grams of carbohydrates (of which 3.2 grams of sugar), and 0.47 grams of salt ( which would be equivalent to 8% of the daily reference intake for an average adult).
Not to mention the ingredients that are usually used for its preparation, which in many cases are not healthy: sugar, high fructose corn syrup, vegetable oils (in most refined cases, such as refined sunflower oil) ), a large amount of additives (emulsifiers and preservatives) ...
Therefore, when making a lunch or snack to go to the beach or the pool, especially if what we want are sandwiches, it is to substitute bread for the common bread. But not any bread: We should discard white bread and choose breads made with wholemeal flour. This article is published for informational purposes only.
