Answer
Chicken salad sandwich
Sliced chicken by itself can be pretty plain, but chopped up into a salad tastes simply scrumptious. We always used cooked chicken leftover from yesterdays meal, which has been chopped in the blender. To the chopped chicken, add a little mayonnaise, some minced dill pickle, minced celery, chopped walnuts and a smidgeon of Dijon mustard. We serve up this winner on either whole wheat hoagie rolls or in a whole wheat wrap for a sandwich that's both healthy as it is tasty.
Ham and Potato sandwich
This crazy concoction has been a children's favorite for decades, at least at my elementary school! To make this silly sandwich, place a couple of thin slices of turkey ham on wheat bread, add a thin slice of American or cheddar cheese and a dollop of mayonnaise. Where does the potato come in? Include a container of five single potato chips which the children can add to their sandwich during lunch. The salty crunch of the chips against the sweetness of the ham is so tasty, they won't want to be trading this sandwich.
Peanut butter and jelly
Organic and natural peanut butters are high in nutrition and pack a lot of protein in a single serving. Since a peanut butter sandwich a la carte can be a little tough to eat , we always match it up with Mom's homemade low-sugar blackberry or strawberry jam for a sandwich that has the kids asking for extras.
Tuna Salad
Tuna salad gets a bad rap, but it's both low in calories and high in protein. The best tuna salad sandwich is a combination of low cal mayonnaise, minced celery, sweet pickle relish, a dash of sugar, and water packed tuna. To add some greens to your child's sandwich, stir in 1/2 of cup of chopped, fresh spinach.
Green eggs and hamwiches
Egg salad sandwiches were mainstay picnic fare when I was a kid, but aren't quite as popular as they once were. It's a shame too, because egg salad really is a healthy, low calorie, low cost sandwich ingredient.
To trick my kids into eating egg salad sandwiches, I turned them into Green Egg and Hamwiches. To make this silly recipe, use any basic egg salad recipe, but add a tablespoon of minced ham and a drop of green food coloring. If you really want to be sneaky, this is a great time to add alfalfa sprouts! The sandwich looks crazy but is so weird looking that your children can't help but gobble it down

What is an extrememly fast way to lose weight?

I'm 13 and I already keep a food journal, count calories (trying to stay between 1,000 and 1,500) and work out...a lot. I still need to know some exercises and foods that help you burn fat, though. I am basically living off of smoothies, salads, and sometimes a treat like an eggroll or something but basically mostly salads and smoothies. I'm starting to get tired of them so if anyone has any recipes (that dont include seafood) that are only 300 calories or under will you please post them? Also if anyone can tell me how to lose more weight faster or something I'm doing wrong..please help. Thanx in advance!
Answer
I would stop doing the smoothies as there are lots of calories in them; I know because my husband & I tried them for over six months and we did not lose very much weight. And we were still hungry afterwards. What really helped us was Weight Watchers and eating a variety of foods and of course exercise. You need to do aerobic exercise. Your body also needs to have energy (calories) to lose weight and I think you are actually giving yourself too few calories. I would try to up the calorie count a little bit, say to 2000.
Drink your milk with 1 or 2% fat, eat apples and berries (lots of fiber) have some lean meat (like broiled chicken or pork loin), eat oatmeal (not the little packs but the real stuff) for breakfast (my husband swears by it-and he lost lots of weight by having breakfast) have sandwiches with low cal bread and low fat meat or cheese with mustard for lunch and have veggies like brocolli and carrots (broiled or steamed) with your meat for dinner. Do not eat fried foods at all as they will set you back a bit. And lastly, drink your water - you do not talk about that at all and that is probably the most important thing about nutrition and being healthy. It will also keep you feeling fullish. One last thing, I would strongly recommend going to a doctor and a nutritionist to make sure about what you are doing and before you start to do any of these things recommended by anyone on this topic.
