8. Cold cuts
Cold cuts, or deli meats are often found at buffets and, even if a sandwich is a great on-the-go lunch, your health doesn’t deserve this treat. The trick to a nutritious sandwich is to avoid sausages, salami, bacon, hot dogs, cold cuts, or other types of processed meats, says Nathalie Sessions, RD at Houston Methodist Hospital in Texas.
“Not only do these choices contain a lot more sodium and saturated fat than fresh meats but they also contain nitrates or other dangerous preservatives,” she explains. Instead, you should opt for fresh meats or try an avocado sandwich that will most definitely keep you satiated for at least four hours.
