What are some easy lunch recipe for school?

Q. I need something that is easy to make, tasty, healthy! I never have enough time in the morning to do anything! So something I could make the night before would be a lot better! There are no microwaves at school but I don't mind eating hot foods at room temp.. :)

A. - Egg Salad!- Hard boil the eggs, dice them, and mix them with mayo and seasonings. Put the salad in a container separate from the bread. When you get to lunch, just put it on the bread with a spoon. Have with a fruit, a cup of milk, and a little treat- that way you get a healthy balanced meal.
You can also do this with chicken salad, or tuna salad.

- Grilled Chicken strips and a soft pretzel with honey mustard dip. Have with a fruit and a cup of milk or fruit and a yogurt.

- Grilled chicken sandwich- Bring a packet or little cup of mayo, a container of grilled chicken breast with lettuce and tomato, and a separate bread roll. Spread the mayo on and put the chicken/lettuce/tomato on the bread. Have that with a side salad, or a fruit, or yogurt. You could also have it with cheese and crackers!

- Tacos! Make taco filling- I like some ground beef mixed into refried beans with salsa- pack it in one container. In another container pack some shredded lettuce and cheese. In a third little container have some sour cream. And then pack some taco shells of your choice. Put the tacos together when you get to school.

- Pasta Salad

- Chicken caesar salad wrap

- Tuna Salad Wrap

- Buffalo Chicken Wrap

- Yogurt parfaits with cereal and nuts. Fruit juice. And a snack.


What are some really healthy meal recipes/ideas?
Q. I like to exercise and cook, but I need some more ideas what I can make through my day: breakfast, lunch or dinner recipe ideas.

A. wraps are easy and healthy. you can make them for any meal and put whatever you want inside.
there is also grilled chicken with any kind of salad
tuna salad (sandwich or crackers) only use a tiny bit of mayo and squeeze the juice from one lime in it.
any lean meat on the grill is healthy (if it's too cold, broil it), serve with steamed veggies.
chili or vegetable soup (not high up on the healthy list, but not too bad)
fresh fruit, boiled eggs and cheese are good
you could also keep some fresh veggies already cut and cleaned in the fridge to have as snacks with ranch or any other dip


Can anyone set up a healthy diet for me?
Q. I exercise 45 mins a day. I just need a healthy diet to go along with it.

A. This is a sample of MY healthy eating habits.

Breaksfast:
A bolied egg with light or no salt and cracker preferably wheat read the food label to see how many cracker is one serving so you dont consume more calories/ fat than you should or if you are confident you can estimate.

Scrambled egg using olive oil w/ 2 slices of wheat bread use lite mayo or a lite butter like smart balance

I am not a pancake or waffle eater so I sometimes eat oatmeal boiled in water or you can use soy milk or skim milk and sweeten with honey which is healther than brown or white sugar.

Lunch

Boar's head turkey or any luncheon meat that is high in protein, low in fat , and low in sodium. Acompanied with wheat bread lettuce or any vegetable of your chance.

Salad lettuce I dont put salad dressing but if you must use it go lightly on it and make sure its lowfat.

Peanut butter sandwich

Pita bread with tuna

Salsa and chips 10 tortilla chips , tomatoes,beans , onions / gatlic

Make your own vegetable soups or you can buy a ready made make sure its low in soduim

Snack

Fruits dont overload yourself on fruits bc of the high sugar although it is healthy sugars they can lead to weight gain

Nuts like almonds, walmuts, peanuts and many others preferably unsalted OR EVEN YOGURT

Dinner

There is more options in this category

I try to do bake chicken with potato or brown rice with a side of veggies
Shrimp with wheat pasta or just shrimp with veggies
Grilled lean steak could be with rice, pasta, potatoes or veggies
you can boil salmon for dinner
You can grill lean pork
You can also make hamburgers or turkey burgers by buying grounded beef or turkey and season it and molded it and put it on a grill or flat grill and ofcrs wheat buns lettuce tomato and whatever else you like on your burger

The options are endless wheny ou get bored just look up healthy recipes and you can alter certain things so they remain healthy.

DRINK LOTS OF WATER IF YOU CAN DRINK 8 GLASSES A DAY DRINK 3OR 4 LIMIT YOUR JUICE CONSTUMPTION TO ONCE A DAY OR MIX A 100% JUICE WITH WATER
DONT DEPRIVE YOUR SELF FROM SWEETS EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO EAT IT ONCE A WEEK LIKE CHOCOLATE FOZEN YOGURT OR ICE CREAM
