Is a mango snapple and a soft pretzel an unhealthy lunch?

Question

Details please. Thanks

Answer 1

change the pretzel to something whole wheat, and eat a real mango instead....

Answer 2

A mango snapple and a soft pretzel would be an unhealthy lunch, yes. The sugar content (simple carbs, no fibre) of the mango snapple is no better than a fizzy carbonated drink. As for the soft pretzel, there's probably very little in the form of fibre, it has a lot of sodium and its got no nutrition.

Here's what you should substitute: An orange juice (though all fruit juices are NOWHERE near as good as the entire fruit) or a slice of fruit, and a whole wheat bagel topped with peanut butter (not jiffy, or skippy or whatever, the healthy kind of peanut butter -- without added salt or sugar or trans fats).

Take care,

Answer 3

It certainly is not a well balanced meal. Mango Snapple I believe is loaded with sugar, and a soft pretzel is devoid of vitamins and minerals. Having said all that, isn't it just great to sit in the park watching the world go by while eating a soft pretzel and and a wash down with Mango Snapple?

Answer 4

Depends on you. It's a low fat meal, but it lacks so much! And not to mention it's wayyyy high in carbs. If you gotta have the snaple, the add some green veggies to eat with the pretzel (broccoli, celery w/a little peanut butter, a green pepper, or a cucumber). If you're a diabetic, then yes, this is a very unhealthy lunch. Maybe you can replace the mango snapple with a flavored water?

Answer 5

Yes and here is why:

Snapple is full of sugar.
Pretzel is a bread, full of flour and yeast which can bring on a lot of health issues as far as weight gain, candida and whathaveyou.
Have a salad instead.

Answer 6

Yes, it is. You are consuming nothing but carbohydrates.
You need protein and calcium and other nutrients as
well. You are setting a bad habit that you need to break
now.

Answer 7
