A nice healthy lunch

So for my lunch break at work today I took a lunch from home. I have a serving of baby carrots, 5 strawberries cut into pieces, a sandwich with salmon, mayonnaise, mustard, white cheddar cheese, onion, and lettuce, and 2 of the cookies I mentioned in my last post.

Carrots are a really great source of vitamin A because just a 3oz (85g) serving contains OVER the recommended daily amount you need. That's about 12 carrots by my estimation of having them, and the kitchen scale. And that serving size is just a measly 35 calories so it's very nice to your waistline.

And strawberries are pretty great too. Just 1 cup has150% of your daily vitamin C needs, 3 grams of fiber, only 12 grams of sugar, and is nearly fat-free. And that's all for about 50 calories.

So there's me starting in on nutrition!
