Instant Noodles

If you are packing a child's tiffin for school or an elder's lunch for the office, make sure to avoid instant in the lunch box. Made with maida and full of preservatives, they have no nutritional value. These noodles have mere empty calories and they are harmful for the gut as well.

Fried food

Eating too much-fried food is injurious to health. Deep-fried foods like French fries, potato chips, and fried chicken nuggets are often high in unhealthy fats and can contribute to weight gain and gut issues.

Processed Meat

Highly processed meats like deli meats, sausages, and hot dogs are often high in sodium and contain additives. These meats may increase the risk of health problems in the long run.

Creamy Salads

It does provide the perfect creaminess in salads but is completely unhealthy. If you want to pack a salad with creaminess, add hung curd or Greek yoghurt instead with a little lime juice. They are not only healthy but will improve the taste of the salad as well.

Processed snacks

Highly processed snacks like chips, cookies, and packaged snacks may be convenient, but they are often loaded with unhealthy additives, preservatives, and excessive amounts of salt, sugar, and unhealthy fats.
