I drink milk and eat eggs still but I love it. I don't really like yogurt. I don't eat meat obviously. I am kind of a picky eater. What are some healthy school lunches that are easy to eat that I might like?
Answer
Sandwiches on whole wheat bread wraps with tofu (extra firm) or if you dont like use some vegan hqm or turkey col cuts, or half a mashed avocado they are all good sources of protein also on your sandwich have some hummus(whatever kind you like, my favorite is jalepeno and roasted red pepper) or veganaise and your fav cheese (i use either vegan swiss or laughing cow lite spreadable cheese) and your favorite veggies, i like cucumbers, bean sprouts, spinach, onions, but red peppers, tomato, or lettuce would all be good mix it up andtry all different stuff throughiut the week
Make some vegetable soup, or but some tomato or whatever kind you like from the can (just make sure its not made with chicken or beef broth) keep it warm in a thermos and bring a toasted cheexe sandwich to dip in or eat sepertatly
Bring your favorite cold cereal in a thermos and milk or buy a milk and have cereal as a little treat
On the side make some wholesome cookies with lots of whole grain oats raisins and seeds or trail mix with your favorite dry cereal, nuts, and dryed fruit. Or fresh fruit. Or hummus with veggie sticks.

What are some very fast and very healthy meals i can make or buy for cheap?
Q. Due to me working full time and going to school at night i barely have time to make breakfast, lunch, or dinner and barely have an option of eating healthy so i was wondering what are some healthy, fast meals i could use for breakfast and lunch and supper and that are on the cheap side. Thanks for all the help.
Answer
I can eat as cheaply as someone bankrupt or as well as a working person.
I have tried the vegan route with beans, brown rice, fruit, vegetables, and started looking very doughy and gained weight.
I will describe the simple plan I follow, and also, I, too, worked full time and went for a masters degree plus taking extra graduate credits on weekends. The key is simplicity, health, and learning to eat less; otherwise, the vegan route of hydrating beans is the cheapest.
You will want to feel satiated, but not ill from greasy vending machine food. You will want to feed your brain. This means fish, eggs, olive oil, oranges, lemons, bananas, apples, broccoli, spinach and other greens. If you omit all the starchy, gummy food that stick in your gut and twist it into knots, you will be able to maneuver your schedule with aplomb. I will provide sample meals, and you can vary as you wish.
Breakfast: poached egg, greens, sliced orange, coffee
Lunch: Deli meat wrapped in lettuce leaves, berries, almond milk or plain water (drink lots of water)
Dinner: Poached fish (poach it in white wine, put a lid on it) served with tartar sauce and lemon, green salad with cut up tomato dressed with olive oil and Balsamic vinegar, medium sliced banana.
If you need more fiber, encapsulate ground flaxseeds or take psyllium fiber tablets.
For supplements, take Vitamin B group, Vitamin D, Magnesium, Calcium (the last three come together with Caltrate). You save money as you don't buy fast foods, don't buy soda, eat no sugar, no salt, don't buy coffee outside of the home, no booze.
If you want to go really cheap, make rice and beans, black bean soup, canned chili with beans, and additional fruit and vegetables. Add lemon to the water. It makes a cleansing beverage. I didn't eat like this when I did the double thing. I think I was a vegetarian then. Also, I would stop at the deli and buy lots of sides to go with the fresh sandwiches, because I don't like to be hungry.
However, the way I am eating now, with fish, and I eat actually more, as I buy expensive smoked fish and smoked lox as well, and organic greens is so filling, I can hardly manage to eat another bite.
If you start your day with oatmeal, you will crave carbohydrates throughout the rest of the day, and be miserable at night classes for cravings. It is better to get the brain food from the fish, not fried from the franchise at the corner, but poached with no butter added. It does take a while to get used to it. The recipe for a poached egg made in the microwave is in YA if you search for it. Unfortunately, food prices have risen, so it is hard to get fine food at a cheap price. There is a market, called Aldi's, that has bargain food, if you have it near you. It is still good to be a man with a plan.
