Sandwiches you pick up from the supermarket aren't exactly the healthiest of choices.
There's 600-odd calories in some Pret-a-Manger baguettes – and many lunchtime favourites are also packed with additives and preservatives that could have a disastrous effect on the gut.
It's no surprise, in the era of wellness influencers, that increasing numbers of Britons are ditching the supermarket sandwich and instead opting to make their own.
Recent polls show around two thirds of UK adults are making a conscious effort to eat out less due to the rising cost of living.
Around half of all working Britons take a packed lunch into work and, according to surveys, the sandwich remains the most popular choice.
