What are good healthy options to eat?
Q. Im trying to tone up my stomach and flatten it out. I've been doing cardio and ab exercises everyday but I know that eating healthy is important too. What foods do I need to be eating to help me get skinnier?
A. Here is a list with healthy food ideas :)
If you can, go for natural organic foods.
Avoid sodas, diet sodas or diet drinks, artificial colors or sweeteners, white flour, too much sugar, overly processed foods, fast foods.
~ Greek yogurt or yogurt (nonfat)
~ Eggs, cheese, cottage cheese, goat cheese, skim milk or goat milk, etc.
~ Vegetables
~ Fruit & Berries
~ Beans (chickpeas, black beans, kidney beans, mixed beans, etc.) - full of fiber & protein
~ Veggie burgers (Amy's makes great veggie burgers)
~ Whole grain breads: multigrain bread, ezekiel bread, rye bread, whole wheat pitas, whole grain tortillas or bagels, etc.
~ Whole grain pasta or brown rice pasta, brown/wild rice, quinoa, buckwheat, barley, millet, etc.
~ Sweet potatoes or potatoes
~ Hummus
~ Oatmeal
~ Healthy cereals (Kashi, Nature's Path Organic, etc - high in fiber and not too high in sugar)
~ Nuts, seeds, almond butter, peanut butter - nut butter without added sugar
~ Non-dairy milks like soy, almond, rice or coconut milk
~ Ground flax seed to add into a smoothie, top yogurt, etc.
~ Olive oil - good healthy fat
~ Salmon & Tuna
~ Tofu & Tempeh - are great in sandwiches, wraps, on salads, stir frys with a little olive oil, etc.
~ Whole grain crackers
~ Whole grain waffles or pancakes
~ Dark chocolate - in small amounts
Here is a website with good nutrition information, healthy recipes, meal ideas, snack ideas, etc.

What are some healthy, easy meals to make for myself?
Q. So I've been trying to work out and get a little bit more health oriented. But, when I run or do anything my stomach tells me that what I've chosen to eat agrees with it. In other words, microwave dinners and fast food aren't helping me any.
So, I was wondering if anyone knew some easy, preferably cheap, healthy foods that I could make. Like, for example, peanut butter and honey sandwiches are delicious and healthy(ish), but that's about as far as I can think of anything I've eaten that's close to healthy lately.
Thanks!

A. PB&J may be delicious. But it's no where near "healthy-ish".. it' contains carbohydrates, fat and sugar.. so.. not good! only gonna make you gain weight!!
Eat lean meat (chicken, turkey, some kinds of fish). Avoid dark/red meats as these tend to contain the most fat.
Idk if you're trying to lose weight or just maintain it?
If you want to lose weight: simply cut down on carbohydrates.. so Pasta, Bread, Rice, Potatoes.. and this will do you wonders!
Buy some skinless chicken breasts and season with basic dried herbs (found at every supermarket) and bake or cook in frying pan. You can buy other cuts of chicken, but I suggest chicken breasts, as although thighs are cheaper.. they contain lots of fat.
Eat wholegrain bread instead of white bread. White bread is just full of refined sugar. They say that if you can squish a piece of bread up into a ball, and if it stays a ball, then it's probably not healthy.
Change milk to 2% or 1%
I'm not sure how often you use flour.. but change to wholegrain flour from the normal white stuff
In terms of meals...
Get into the habit of grilling, poaching, steaming or baking foods.
Try steaming or stir frying your vegetables to retain nutrients.
Use oil sprays or olive oil to cook with.
Drain off any excess fat. Fat will rise to the top of dishes and can be removed.
Use lower fat / lower calorie alternatives for recipes.
Eggs are awesome. The whites are the best for you. I suggest cooking a basic 2-egg omelette.. and throw in as many veggies as you like.
Stir-fry is another option. Cook up meat of your choice, throw in loads of frozen vegetables, some premade stir-fry sauce (make sure you buy one with low sugar/salt content) and you can either serve it by itself, with rice, or noodles
Some recipes:
From: http://m.askmen.com/sports/foodcourt_100/120_eating_well.html
3 Healthy Breakfast Ideas
2 slices of whole-wheat toast with 1 tablespoon of peanut butter or apple butter (apple puree that tastes great but does not contain any actual butter and has very little fat) and 1 medium apple.

What to avoid:

Extra Knowledge:
Breakfast
You've probably heard this a thousand times: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. According to The National Weight Control Registry, breakfast is one of the key factors to long-term weight control. In fact, studies published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition show that people who skip breakfast tend to be heavier than those who eat a healthy morning meal.
Eating within the first hour after you wake up helps to maintain your blood sugar and hormone levels, which keeps your energy level high throughout the morning and ensures that you don't overeat at lunchtime. It also kick-starts your metabolism, which will actually burn more calories throughout the day.
However, choose wisely since lots of typical breakfast foods are comprised of simple carbohydrates, such as white bread, many breakfast cereals (particularly brands for kids) and regular bagels. Because they are very easily digested, simple carbs send your blood sugar shooting up. When it comes back down, you'll feel ravenous.
