In this episode of ‘What’s for Lunch?!’ nutritionist Amy sits in the park with a New Yorker eating a gyro. While there are some veggies in his sandwich, Amy says it is important to be careful of the amount of meat consumed due to all the saturated fat. While drinking a sugary drink like lemonade or iced team may seem refreshing, switch it out with regular water instead. This will prevent your blood sugar from crashing later in the day.
