hello im 14 and i really want to start eating healthier to lose some weight. i don't have any food allergies. i like some veggies like corn peas and carrots, but there are others i don't like - onions, radishes, spinach. i love all fruits, i don't like beans or any kind of fish/seafood (except tuna for sandwiches), i do like chicken. i can be kind of a picky eater as u can see. i am looking for breakfast, lunch and dinner recipes. also lunch that i can pack for school. if u know any good recipes or websites, i'd really appreciate it. thanks!:)
