Health and Diet
It's important to properly pack your food. Insulated, soft-sided lunch boxes are best for keeping food cold, but they still require a frozen gel pack. If you use brown paper bags, create layers by double bagging to help insulate the food. Include a frozen individual juice box (which will thaw by lunch time) or reusable freezer gel pack to keep the food cold.

Fitness
Experts suggest that water burns twice as many calories in a 45 minute workout due to the amount of energy that is used while the workout is in progress. In a typical land workout an individual can burn anywhere from 100 to 500 calories in a 45-minute workout depending on the type and intensity of the workout.
