How to choose your sandwich in the bakery so as not to gain weight?
To reduce the calorie intake of this quickly swallowed but not so light snack in calories, it is important to monitor its composition at all levels and not just its filling:
- the bread : it is the base of the sandwich and therefore the food that is present in the greatest quantity in your meal, so choosing it well makes all the difference. Ideally, opt for low-fat Swedish bread or wholemeal bread rich in fibre. Sandwiches made with cereal bread are also good tasty options. On the other hand, avoid white breads like the classic baguette, they are quite high in calories. And above all, don’t fall for the delicacy of Viennese bread, it’s richer in butter and even sweeter than white bread.
- The garnish : the idea is not so much to have little garnish as to choose satiating and protein-rich foods such as chicken, cooked ham, tuna or eggs. Avoid cold meats and raw hams. As for vegetables, they are welcome but more for the taste than for their nutritional aspect given the quantities present in the sandwiches of the bakeries.
- the sauce : Avoid mayonnaise at all costs, which skyrockets the number of calories swallowed. If you have the option, choose sandwiches seasoned with olive oil or vinaigrette which is less caloric. Otherwise, prefer a butter sandwich, which is high in calories but healthier than mayonnaise.
