But choosing the right lunch will not only help your waistline shrink, it will give you the energy to get through the rest of the afternoon. Sp here are some ideas to make your dabba healthier:

• Vegetable Salad: You can carry slices of carrot, cucumber, tomato, cabbage and radish and add some lemon juice to it to give you taste and flavor. Not only will you get closer to the required amount of fiber, you will also get your dose of servings to be consumed in a day.
• Sprout Salad: Soak moong dal, matki, rajma, chana and the other cereals overnight in a clean damp cloth. Add a little of salt (sea salt is a better option), squeeze lemon juice on it. If you want more variety add onion, coriander leaves and tomato to this mixture.
• Buttermilk: There is nothing better than finishing your lunch with a glass of cool chaas. Chaas or buttermilk has proteins, gives you Calcium and is known to aid digestion.
