Want a snack? Don’t buy a sandwich!
Well if you really must have a sandwich, make it yourself, don’t buy one. The National Consumer Council says that many sandwiches sold in the high street chains contain dangerously high levels of fat and salt. For example Pret a Manger’s dry cured ham, cheese and mustard sandwich contains a massive 584calories, 13.1g fat and 2.55g of salt. Gregg’s chicken and bacon sandwich contains 3.6g of salt which means that just that one sandwich gives you two-thirds of the recommended daily maximum salt intake for an adult! Strangely, a Big Mac is healthier than most sandwiches. By comparison a Big Mac contains only 495calories, 9g of saturated fat, and 2g of salt.
29% of us in the U.K. say we prefer a sandwich for lunch. However, I think I’ve solved the problem. When I have to go up to London I visit the Wasabi sushi bar in Victoria Station. Sushi is so much healthier and quite delicious.
