Even Convenience Store Meals Can Be Diet-Friendly!
The pre-bride period might be the time in life when one faces dieting the most.
However... with the wedding approaching, one feels the pressure to work hard on their diet! But when you're busy working every day,
isn't it difficult to make or eat healthy, low-calorie meals, which are the basics of dieting?
I totally get it when you end up choosing convenience store sandwiches, cup noodles, or frozen spaghetti, which are high in salt, calories, and fat...!
In this article, I've picked up things that are
① Quick to eat at your desk during a short lunch break
② Available at convenience stores
③ Delicious and filling
to help you have a healthier, low-impact lunch while dieting at the office.
① Transform Salad Chicken into Samgyetang!
When it comes to healthy food available at convenience stores, steamed chicken breast salad chicken is a top choice.
With high protein and low fat, many options have less than 100 calories per 100 grams, and they are satisfying and delicious, making them loved by many, even outside of dieting.
Recently, there are even curry and lemon flavors that are tasty on their own, but I recommend incorporating them into a soup as an ingredient!
Soups, which can warm the body, not only help prevent the cold that is the enemy of dieting,
but they also provide more satisfaction than eating them alone, which is a win-win situation.
Seven Eleven even sells a special product to make Samgyetang with salad chicken!
② Cup Soup
☑ Warm items are good for coldness
☑ Soups provide satisfaction
For this reason, cup soups are a recommended convenience store meal during dieting.
There are various types, such as sundubu with tofu, vermicelli soup, and soup pasta, so it’s nice that you won’t get bored!
Choosing ones with less salt is even better!*
③ Oden
Oden, a warm Japanese dish where you can also enjoy the soup, is one of the healthiest options available in convenience store meals for dieting.
You can choose your favorite ingredients, so make sure to eat plenty of vegetables.
Konjac and radish, which are high in dietary fiber, are recommended. While sausages are delicious, they contain a lot of fat and additives, so be careful.
④ Chilled Packs of Japanese Food
Recently, convenience stores have a lot of chilled pack side dishes in the bento section.
Dishes like mackerel in miso sauce, gomoku-ae, and chikuzen-ni.
For busy brides who have simplified dinner, having various side dishes from convenience stores for lunch can be good for health.
Choosing items with a Japanese flavor seasoning generally has lower calories!*
⑤ Rice Balls
Rice is the ally of the Japanese! When you crave carbohydrates, choose rice balls over spaghetti without fail.
Chewing rice balls well makes them filling and satisfying.
For fillings, instead of rich and fatty options like tuna mayo or mentaiko mayonnaise, opt for plum, salmon, or plain rice.
Also, red rice is actually rich in dietary fiber, making it a great option!♡
⑥ Warm Tea
When eating, always accompany your meal with warm tea.
Avoid gulping down cold water or juice because it can cool the body. Cooling can lower your basal metabolism and increase fat storage, which is terrible for dieting.
Drinking warm tea will help warm your body and contribute to health!
Even with Convenience Store Lunches, You Can Diet as a Bride♡
When you have a wedding coming up, it's easy to become sensitive about dieting.
Some may feel guilty for eating convenience store meals, which can cause stress...
But there are times when you simply don’t have the time to prepare bento every day or go to a restaurant that offers balanced meals.
In such cases, it's perfectly fine to opt for convenience store meals!
By choosing wisely at convenience stores, it’s possible to enjoy a healthy and diet-friendly lunch!♡
Even busy working brides can diet for their wedding in a fun and relaxed manner without adding stress! ♩
