Dietitian’s tip

Whole-wheat bread and high-protein tuna make this a steady, balanced lunch. The fiber in the bread and celery helps slow the carbs.

Dietitian’s notes

  • Bind the tuna with a squeeze of lemon and a little olive oil instead of heavy mayo to keep saturated fat low.
  • Diced celery adds crunch and water volume so the sandwich feels more filling.
