Always opt for the so-called 'real food'. Flee from the processed. Prioritize 'clean' proteins, vegetables and local products, if possible, in season. And, put to order, always cook at home and without pulling 'fritangas'.

Let's be frank, we all know thetheory very well. The problem, as nutritionist Andrea Ferrrandis points out, comes when it comes to putting all those wise recommendations into practice. "Obviously, it will always be better to prepare food at home, choosing fresh products. However, the truth is that, due to the lifestyle we lead, especially in large cities, it is very difficult for us to plan meals, start cooking ... Many times we have to eat tupperware in front of the computer and, in the worst case, we leave it at home and we have to escape to the supermarket to get out of the way. "

For that case (or other similar ones), Ferrandis has prepared "a list of healthy prepared meals from Mercadona that occasionally (never as a rule) could serve as a resource because they no longer use trans fats, palm oils or added sugars and, instead, they do have, among their ingredients, extra virgin olive oil or some preservatives, Like vitamin C, considered safer."

What dishes are you referring to? This nutritionist starts with "Bolognese lasagna (with a B at the Nutri-Score traffic light), which is a good option sporadically because its caloric intake -500 Kcal- is not very high for a lunch (although you have to be hungry to get 700 grams of lasagna between chest and back) and its ingredients, Among those that stand out the mixture of beef and pork, they are not crazy. "

So would "aubergines au gratin, potato omelette or zucchini and salads." Of course, Ferrrandis warns us that, in the latter case, we should be careful with the sauces because 'the devil loads them'. "As they always go apart, my recommendation is to avoid sauces. To dress, nothing better oil and vinegar": It also advises 'passing' from "fried croutons, bacon" and prioritizing the presence of proteins "such as turkey, tuna, chicken or fresh cheese".

Another possibility would be to "prepare the dish ourselves, mixing a jar of chickpeas, lentils or beans, for example, with a lettuce bosa and some protein, such as canned tuna or salmon," concludes Ferrandis. And, by the way, the latter seems to us a great alternative.
