Hot Sandwich Lunch

I started this post yesterday but had to go to my sister’s house for dinner so I didn’t finish until today. We ended up playing mah-jong for about four hours and I ended up losing $12.

So Saturday after dialysis, I thought I would try something else other than my usual at Rising Cane’s, so I got a Philly cheesesteak sandwich at Jersey Mike’s on the way home after charging my car. It was okay. I’m not a big fan of bell peppers and this had a lot of them. The meat was pretty good but the nutrition information was saltier than it tasted. I’m not sure if it’s more healthy than fried chicken fingers though.

The Box Combo only has the chicken fingers and fries since I typically don’t eat the bread nor the coleslaw. If I’m most worried about salt intake, then the chicken fingers are not bad. The two sandwiches uses up the entire day’s DV for sodium. For about the same price, I probably like the chicken fingers the best, especially if you eat it as soon as they give it to you. They’re not as good when they cool down.

Long term thought, I need to find a lunch solution. I don’t mind getting take-out every day but it does get expensive. The Box Combo is $9 with tax. Most of Jersey Mike’s sandwiches are $9 before tax. If I get the chicken kabob at Panini Grill, it’s $15. I tried getting frozen meals but there are a lot of added phosphates that I should avoid. For awhile, I was eating salad that were freshly tossed at work but it turned out they used a lot of dressing. The salads taste great but the dressing basically kills the nutritional part of it with lots of calories, fat, and salt.
