homemade healthy sandwich bread recipe image
Kate Sterl
I am going into senior and need some healthy choices to get fit and healthy!
Any ideas?
Answer
Fresh and dried fruit is really good for snacks.
For lunch I make a big batch of pasta (with whatever sauce I feel like) and then eat it for lunch during the week. It usually keeps well and tates great. You can also have wraps, salad sandwiches, and other breads with salad fillings. I take cous cous (which can be a bit messy) and leftover dinner.
The easiest that I find is little cans of tuna (but obviously only if you like the taste of tuna.)
You can take vegetables like carrots etc. for snacks as well.
Take a drink bottle as it is easy to mistake thirst for hunger. Just make sure you don't drink too much as you will need to go to the toilet during class.
You can make healthy muffins (with fruit etc in them). Look on google for healthy muffin recipes.
Cheese and crackers are good - just make sure that you get low fat cheese.
If you make grilled homemade pizzas with healthy ingredients, you can then take them to school the next day.
Nuts are also great for quick snacks.

What is a good diet for someone trying to stay healthy?

I want to go on a diet to be healthy, but I don't want it to have to be too hard. I work out a lot, and am very fit, but I feel that I am not making the healthiest choices when it comes to eating. What should I do when it comes to disciplining my food choices?
Answer
Thats great that your active and want to eat healthy :)
Go for natural, organic foods. Eat smaller portions more often rather than big portions less often. Avoid things like soda, diet soda or any diet drinks, artificial colors or sweeteners, too much sugar, overly processed foods. Remember to drink plenty of water. Green tea is great to =) As well as water with lemon which is cleansing, good for your skin, digestive system.
You can also try out healthier alternatives with food.
Examples:
- Replace fast food french fries with homemade sweet potato or regular fries (made with a touch of olive oil, salt)
- For chips, you could try natural sweet potato chips, pita chips, fat free popcorn, pop chips or a natural potato chip brand like Kettle. You can also make your own chips by thinly slicing potatoes or sweet potatoes, glazing with olive oil, sprinkling with salt (pepper, basil if you'd like - cinnamon goes well with sweet potatoes) & baking them.
- Replace candy with things like frozen grapes or banana slices, dried mango strips, dried blueberries/cranberries/cherries/papaya, raisins, etc.
- Try a veggie burger on a whole wheat bun, topped with some things you like.
- If you want soda, try cold sparkling water with lemon or mixed with 100 % organic fruit juice instead
- Replace white pasta with whole grain in pasta dishes + add veggies (for example adding baby spinach to pasta, grilled vegetables to lasagna, broccoli/grated carrot/spinach/kale to pasta salad, etc.
- For a creamy pasta sauce try tomato sauce with goat cheese mixed in, for a healthier dish
- Enjoy pizza, try it on thin multigrain crust topped with fresh veggies.
- For healthier treat options try things like: frozen yogurt, vanilla greek yogurt with berries & grated dark chocolate, whole grain baked goods, etc. Desserts are fine in moderation :)
Here is a list with some healthy food ideas :)
~ Greek yogurt or yogurt (nonfat) - Greek yogurt has more protein than regular yogurt
~ Eggs, cheese, cottage cheese (2% is fine), goat cheese, skim milk or goat milk, etc.
~ Vegetables
~ Fruit & Berries
~ Beans (chickpeas, black beans, kidney beans, mixed beans, etc.) - full of fiber and 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, etc.
~ Sweet potatoes or potatoes
~ Hummus
~ Oatmeal - great source of fiber, you can add toppings like: almond butter or peanut butter, nuts, fresh berries/fruit, raisins, dried fruit like cherries/cranberries/blueberries, cinnamon, skim milk or non-dairy milk, nonfat greek yogurt, jam, honey, agave nectar, maple syrup, etc.
~ Healthy cereals (Kashi, Nature's Path Organic, etc..high in fiber like raisin bran)
~ Nuts, seeds, almond butter, peanut butter
~ Non-dairy milks like soy, almond or rice milk
~ Ground flax seed to add into a smoothie, top yogurt, etc.
~ Olive oil, good healthy fat, great for stir frys with lots of veggies.
~ Salmon & Tuna
~ Tofu & Tempeh - are great in sandwiches, wraps, on salads, etc.
~ Whole grain crackers
~ Whole grain waffles or pancakes
~ Dark chocolate
