I wanted to share some knowledge on something that could help a lot of guys stay healthy. In Japan, there's something called a bento - a prepared lunch box. This will contain good meats (salmon, fish, pork, etc.), as well as a variety of vegetables, and some rice. Where I am, I can get one at my local Japanese market for about 10 dollars, which is a bit pricey to me but I consider it to be worth the cost.
Because: It is impossible to get fat on eating these. What's more, they contain plenty of protein.
Put another way, if you eat a Japanese bento for lunch every day, you're probably eating healthier than anyone else around you, at least for lunch. These are full of good foods. There's enough of it to feel full, but not so much that you feel bloated.
In Japan, pretty much everyone eats these. They are an integral part of how Japanese people are so fit and healthy. The younger guys, while thin, have good muscle tone. They are fit and, while not ripped, toned at least. They eat plenty of meats, but also vegetables. The difference is that Japanese people do not eat (much) processed food or have much sugar. Though this is changing slowly - the Western diet is creeping in.
I really recommend that guys give bento lunches a try. They're a great way to keep fit and healthy, and not feel tired after lunch. They are a bit pricey, but they are really delicious and healthy, so to me it'd be worth it.
If you get one, make sure that it's from an authentic Japanese market/restaurant. The ones made by Chinese/Koreans will generally be greasy and not that good or healthy. Japanese preparers will make sure that they're stocked with good meats and vegetables.
Bon appetit.
