Q. I need to some healthy sandwich recipes,..peanut butter and jelly isn't working for me (p.s. -i'm a body builder)
A. I like to make vegetarian sandwiches. Ubber healthy.
Take high fiber bread such as Squirrly bread, spread on light or non fat cream cheese to each slice, add thinly sliced tomatoes and cucumbers (whatever appeals to you) and some alphalfa sprouts.
NUM!
Or for higher proteins roast chicken or turkey slices with roasted red peppers on the same type of bread with low fat mayo.
Just an idea anyway.

What are some delicious, healthy, and simple recipes for a brown-bag-type lunch?
Q. I'm getting pretty sick of turkey sandwiches, so I was wondering if anyone had any healthy, relatively quick and simple recipes for a good brown bag lunch. Thanks in advance!! :)
A. Chop veggies. Chop your turkey. Toss with balsamic and olive oil. You gots lunch. Add a chopped boiled egg for extra protein. (I like to chop all of my ingredients, put them in separate containers, and mix them AT LUNCH time. I don't like how tomatoes can get gross and cover everything with slime, so I slice or chop them and give them their own brown bag vessel)
Cottage cheese is a good one. You can dress it up with all kinds of stuff. Toasted almond slivers and fruit pieces--dried fruit pieces, even. Very filling, adn good for you.
Fruit salad--grapes, apples/pears, berries, honeydew, jicama, cucumber-- with walnuts tossed with lime, salt, and honey -0r- yogurt and granola. I like to candy my own nuts (so I can control the sugar) and chop those up and top off my greek yogurt and fruit salad with them.
Tomato, balsamic, basil, olive oil, balsamic, salt and pepper=good snack
couscous or quinoa salad with sugar snap peas, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese.
Really, you just have to get creative with lunch combinations and cook ahead of time. Sunday night, prepare and grill 5-7 chicken breasts then reinvent the wheel--make chicken sammiches, chicken salad (with grape halves, or craisins, celery, onion, salt, pepper, maybe apple?, or pear?, perhaps a few of those candied nuts I spoke of previously.
Get in contact with me, I can throw lots of ideas your way. Prepare your stuff days in advance and it saves you time all week.

What is a good healthy lunch that I can take to school I have access to a microwave?
Q. I want a healthy lunch to take to school. Um I don't want any turkey sandwiches or anything like that they gross me out. I don't want it to have to much meat. I also want it to get me full. I have a microwave in school so I can heat it up .
A. Stir fried vegetables
Ingredients
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 lb chicken breast, cut in strips (marinate in soy sauce and garlic for great flavor)
2 cups cauliflower, cut to florets
2 cups broccoli, cut to florets
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 cup celery, sliced (2 stalks) (optional)
1 (15 ounce) can baby corn
salt (to taste)
soy sauce (optional)
Sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon cornstarch (just use enough to thicken slightly)
Directions
1Saute onions in oil.
2Add chicken and stir fry until browned. If not marinated, season with soy sauce and garlic.
3Add vegetables except for baby corn and salt. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes.
4Add baby corn and soy sauce to taste, if desired.
5Pour sauce over, stir till all vegetables are coated. If more sauce is needed, just double the recipe. I haven't made this in ages, so you might need more. I can't remember.
