Weight Loss Tip of the Week-- Packing Lunch

Want to save calories AND money at the same time?

Pack your lunch!

The average restaurant meal is 2-3 times more food than most people need.
- Some items contain an entire day's worth of calories.
- Even when choosing healthier options, many have more fat, salt, or sugar than recommended.

Not convinced?

Buying lunch out every workday (20, in this example) at $6 a day, you're spending $120 per month (not including the other 70+ meals you'll probably want to eat).
- That's almost $1,500 per year!
- How many sandwiches (or other meals) could you make for $120 if you purchased the individual items at the supermarket??? I bet it's more than 20!
