a burger or a sandwich what's the healthy option

. While every sandwich outlet may be claiming that   their food is the healthiest, their bread the freshest, or the veggies the most nutritious, your heart may still draw you towards the sauces and the flavour of your favourite burger. While you stand at crossroads between the burger and the sandwich joint, trying to choose which of the two are better for your body and your health, read this to decide.

While some people think sandwiches are clearly healthier, there may be much more they need to consider before they reach that conclusion. So how do you know the healthier choice between the sandwich and the burger? Let us make them compete and see which one wins!
Calories
While sandwich joints try to use chicken that is low in calories to make the sandwich healthier, burger patties are mostly deep fried and therefore contain considerably more calories than grilled chicken used in the sandwiches. If you are on a weight loss diet, a sandwich is definitely a healthier choice when it comes to the calories.

Sodium
While the chicken in the sandwich may be a leaner source of protein and also low on calories, it is definitely high on sodium. High sodium can cause heart conditions like hypertension, heart attacks, strokes, and also lead to kidney diseases and osteoporosis. If you suffer from any such problems already, the burger may be the better choice since it contains almost half the amount of sodium than the sandwich.

Purity
When you compare the sandwiches and burgers served at most fast food joints in terms of purity, the burgers may win this round. While the chicken on the sandwich may be mixed with other ingredients to fill the sandwich with, the patty of the burger maybe  made100% the ingredient you have asked for. In that case, the burgers may be healthier as the food that you are eating is pure.

Other factors
At the end of the day, both food items can be easily customized according to the choice and preference of the consumer. Depending on what kind of bread you use and the vegetables you add to your burger or sandwich, and how much of the sauces you consume with it will determine which is healthier and which is not.

Try to choose a burger or a sandwich that uses whole grain bread, grilled fillings, lots of raw veggies, and only the healthy sauces to make sure your meal is the healthiest
