What should I eat for lunch?

Graphic provided by BPA

Coming from a dual income family, my parents don’t have time to prepare lunchbox for me. I need to think about what to eat for lunch daily. According to the Centre for Health Protection, teenagers should intake at least 3 servings of vegetables, 2 servings of fruits, 4-6 taels of proteins, 2 servings of milk product and 4-6 bowls of grains. Based on this standard, the lunch set from cha chaan teng is not a healthy option because it has no fibre and contains too much saturated fat. Fast food contains too much oil and salt. Snacks from tuck shops are mainly processed food which could be harmful to our body if we eat them often. Thus, the most effective way to maintain a balanced diet is preparing lunchbox by yourselves.
