I know it's pathetic but I'm 17 and can't cook. Anyways, my mom ALWAYS offers sandwiches and claims I turn everything down, but that's because it's always the same thing. Then if I say "no to everything" she goes to Wendy's. I'm tired of eating there because she literally gets it at least 4 times a week. It's giving me break outs which is the main issue. I'm not fat by any means but I'm going to the gym and want to achieve the look I want without all this junk. I also need to gain weight. She then offers yogurt which I don't even consider lunch nor is it helping me gain weight. Then she goes on to salad. Again, doesn't help with weight. I also have steak pretty much every night for dinner. Any suggestions?


Answer
I am having a baked potato for lunch today, but that is kinda a splurge on the calories.

My favorite lunch is cottage cheese with fruit, preferably canned unsweetened peaches.And a few soda crackers to go with it.

a wrap that you make yourself, with chicken and cheese and veggies would be healthy.

I buy chicken patties, and buns, and make my own chicken sandwiches. I get the patties for $2, and the buns for $1. A smear of mayo, and it is good, and cheap. Add cheese if you want to.

Make your own healthy tacos. Use ground up turkey or chicken, spice it up so you can't tell it is not hamburger. use the low cal re-fried beans. Diet sour cream, and some lettuce, tomatoes, and some mexican cheese would be good.

Homemade soup, like vegetable, or chili. Make a batch, and put it in the refrigerator, take out servings as you need them. Fix some unsweetened cornbread, or use crackers.

A healthy hot dog, kosher beef, with low cal toppings like onion, mustard, ketchup, relish, pickles, or kraut. Splurge a little and put a little chili over it.

Having steak for supper is bad. Too much cholesterol.
Learn how to prepare chicken. Saute chicken breasts, serve with some stove top stuffing and some veggies. Find other recipes that you might like, like chicken parm,
Go to Kraft Foods for help with quick and easy meals.
Look around in the store, see what is available for a balanced supper. Check out the banquet boxed meals, and Hamburger helper type things.

and beware of salad, the dressing and some of the toppings can have many calories, 1000, or 1500, according to a recent article.

One thing, your diet, and the grease and chocolate in it, does not cause acne. But a balanced diet would help heal it.

there are so many sites that give cooking lessons, on tape, that there really is not an excuse for not knowing how to cook, unless you are a straight "A" student, and taking a big course load, and play team sports too.
Go to allrecipes, or Betty Crocker. Cook's Illustrated is excellent, they tell you why they do what they do[but some of the site costs money].

When in doubt, go to the brand name website. Philadelphia cream cheese, Nabisco, Kraft, and on and on.
I wanted a recipe for catfish, so I went to the catfish farmers. Quite a number of free recipes.

What are some healthy but tasty sandwhiches I could have for lunch at school?

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
