Rolls - Good or Bad

Rolls as in the food type.

I always seem to run down to the local Spar at lunch and get a roll with ham, coleslaw and red onion (sooooo nice).

Question is, what's this like calorie-wise? Good or bad?

Pretty bad as far as i am aware. Would result in quite the insulin spike, pretty calorie heavy and just bad all round.

Any suggestions for when 1pm comes around?

That you can get from your usual sandwich bar/Spar typey place.

crap. all processed. ham will be high in water and salt, coleslaw made with low quality cabbage, lots of mayo, high in saturated fats, roll: if white it's barely more nutritious than wallpaper paste, bleached wheat, no fibre, if brown slightly better but probably high in hydrogenated oil to prolong shelf life.

red onion is the only saving grace.

very calorie-rich, non of them good.

Sorry to burst your bubble....

brown bread sandwich, no butter, salad- tomatoe, cucumber, onion lettuce- chicken (plain). Just cut out sauces, mayo, butter, that kind of thing. They tend to be rather over-zealous with the condiments..

Just go for something like chicken or tuna, the red onion and other goodies, have it on brown bread, no butter.

Sounds crap but hey, Spar and the like are pretty rough for getting decent tasty lunches in.

I could go to the canteen here, haven't gone in yonks though - not a very nice place.

I tried the Brown Bread(no butter), chicken, red onions & ham (processed unfortunately), in the words of Colin Farrell, "Bleeding Delish"

Hell yeah!

What's up with buying lunch anyway. I buy and cook all my food for the week in about 2 and a half hours on a Sunday. It ain't that hard once you know what you're doing.

I get a brown bread sambo, garlic mayo (very little), sweedish cheese and corn.. It's slightly healthy (I think) and makes up for little break (2 pears, an apple and a banana) and my breakfast is 2 slices of brown bread toast, and a banana..

I think this is pretty healthy, but I'm not too sure. My 'dinner' is always random.. I try to make a proper meal, but it's kinda hard with so much to do lately (mum broke her neck..). What's a good idea? spag bol? chicken tikka? I'm never too sure when it comes to healthy food..
