I'm going into 7th grade and my parents want to cut back on spending money, so I have to pack lunch occasionally. I want to know what yummy lunches I can make at home. Ideas?
Thanks!
I need some recipes guys!



Answer
Depends on your taste of course, but you could try the following:

- Pasta salad - easily made the night before, put over a dash of olive oil, cover in clingfilm and leave in fridge until you're ready to take

- Crackers

- For a change on sandwiches, try wraps, baguettes and bagels (you could try mozarella, tomato and rocket; chicken and bacon; prawn and avocado; egg and cress; bacon, lettuce and tomato; chicken and sweetcorn; fajitas with chicken or beef, peppers and onions). To save time, you could buy the ready-made sandwich fillers but healthier to make your own up

- Fruit salad - cut up a mixture of strawberries, pineapple, kiwis, oranges, apples, etc. Bananas are also good for energy

You might also find inspiration by looking up "Bento" boxes - these are like small lunchboxes that the Japanese take to school and work and contains lots of small portions of healthy food!

Will I definetely lose weight by doing this? And how to start becoming vegan?

Eating 5-6 small meals a day!:) I heard its actually pretty healthy for you! and that's what Ariana Grande did to lose alot of weight if you've noticed. If you've looked at her current pictures, and she's the red headed girl on Nickelodeon's hit TV show VicTORIous. Here's my plan.(Times)

Breakfast:7 AM
Mid Morning Snack: 10 PM
Lunch: 1 PM
Afternoon Snack: 4 PM
Dinner: 7 PM
:)
Alright. This also contains eating plenty of fruits and veggies and all that healthy stuff. I was also thinking about becoming a Vegan? But Idk where to start? Any ideas? I know to cut out meat but what specifically should I be eating? Thanks for your answers guys.



Answer
Now I do not know much about how the dieting vegan works, but you are leaning to the vegetarian side with the no meat process. I know some recipes for vegetarians and some do not cut out meat by replacing it with fake veggie meat.

Breakfast: Special K Parfait 160 calories
â¢1 container (8 oz.) low-fat vanilla flavored yogurtâ¢Â½ cup fresh fruit (sliced strawberries, sliced banana, blueberries or raspberries)â¢1 cup Special K® Original cereal Directions:1.In 2 tall glasses, layer yogurt, fruit and cereal until glass is full. 2.Top with extra fruit. 3.Serve immediately.

Lunch:Veggie-Bacon Avocado Sandwich 360 Calories
â¢3 Morningstar Farms® Veggie Bacon Stripsâ¢1/2 medium ripe avocado, seeded, peeled and mashed (about 1/4 cup)â¢1 teaspoon lemon juiceâ¢1/8 teaspoon saltâ¢3 to 4 drops liquid pepper sauceâ¢2 slices whole grain bread, toastedâ¢1 lettuce leafâ¢4 thick slices plum tomato or 2 thick slices tomato Directions:1.Cook Morningstar Farms® Veggie Bacon Strips according to package directions. 2.Meanwhile, in small bowl stir together avocado, lemon juice, salt and pepper sauce. Spread on one side of each toast slice. Place lettuce leaf, tomato slices and bacon strips on top of one slice. Top with remaining toast slice, avocado mixture side down. Cut in half. Serve immediately.

Dinner:Southwest Vegetarian Chili 250 calories
â¢1/4 cup chopped onionâ¢1 clove garlic, mincedâ¢1/2 to 1 teaspoon chili powderâ¢1 can (10 oz.) diced tomatoes and mild green chiliesâ¢1/2 cup kidney beans, rinsed and drainedâ¢1/4 cup no-salt-added tomato sauceâ¢1 tablespoon shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese (optional)â¢1 tablespoon fat-free sour creamâ¢1 tablespoon sliced green onions Directions:1.In medium saucepan coated with cooking spray cook and stir onion and garlic over medium heat about 3 minutes or until tender.2.Stir in chili powder. Cook and stir for 30 seconds. Add undrained tomatoes, beans and tomato sauce. Bring to boiling. Reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 3 to 5 minutes or until desired consistency. Ladle into bowl. Top with cheese (if desired), sour cream and onions.3.Southwestern Turkey Chili: Prepare chili as above, except cook 2 ounces extra lean ground turkey along with the onion and garlic about 3 minutes or until turkey is no longer pink. Drain off any fat. Continue with recipe as directed in step 2 above, except decrease kidney beans to 1/4 cup.
For your 2 snacks I prefer a snack bar or shakes that can help you lose weight.
Hope this helps.
