Packed lunches
Although it is very tempting to have Fakhruddin's biryani or KFC’s chicken fry every day for lunch, it is surely taxing on the stomach. When any food item is deep fried, the quality of the item becomes less healthy and multiplies in caloric density.

So, does it mean that we must have dull and drab food everyday and keep away the delicacies for special occasions? Not necessarily!
