healthy recipe ideas?

Q. I am trying a new diet of only eating healthy foods, and I need some lunch ideas...please help!

Answer
Well, i am following this diet where i have to eat alL these things for lunch, i will list them down, you can probably follow the same. This diet is called IDIOT PROOF DIET.
The trick with this diet is to stop eating when you feel you are almost full, but not completely full. youhave to stop eating just when you feel you can still eat a few morsels.

besides, this diet tries to trick your body by giving carbs every 2nd or 3rd day. just so that you dont become weak & still continue loosing weight.
it has been very effective for me.
check out the deit on this website, www.fatloss4idiots.com / and decide if you want to give it a shot.

The following things can be eaten for lunch.

- scambled eggs & walnuts (no bread)
- deli meat sandwich w/bran bread
- stir fried sausges & macadamia nuts
- spiced or stir fried or mashed cottage cheese & cashews
- grilled chicken or shrimps with sauteed or grilled veggies. ( the best way to cook these is, take all your fav veggies, sautee them with prawns with olive oil & oyster or garlic sauce)
- garden salad with banana milk shake
- peanuts & fresh oranges
- baked beans & apples
- fresh peaches & oat meal

i hope this helps, as it has really helped me, this is a 11 day diet, its better if you read up on the website to get convinced.
even without the diet, the above foods are very light & healthy. and help in further weight loss.

P.S try to avoid rice or bread for lunch. eat your veggies raw.

Healthy Diet?

Obsessive

Cheerleading season is HERE! and I have done nothing but gain weight. I need to start eating healthy. My biggest problem is breakfast. I know I am never suppose skip breakfast but I do... until now! The hardest obsticle is finding the right thing.

I need to have it as a schedual. Is "Fibre 1" good?? I don't like lettuce, I don't really like any veggies (I try sometimes to eat some, but they are gross!! lol ) - I do love fruit, but they are full of sugar and simple carbs aren't they? I don't do anything to work out yet - what should I do. I really need to tone my thighs and my stomach area is gross.

I am 16 - 5'3" and 146lbs. I know my biggest thing is to stop eating junk. I don't drink pop (sometimes diet) but not enough water either. I think if I have every moment of my life on a shedual I would be more likely to follow. I can stand the feeling of hunger, which I read is often just thirst?? - but what are simple snacks and meals I can have that are low cal?

Answer
Have fun with cheerleading the more you dance and jump will tone your body really well.

Breakfast:
whole grain toast with peanut butter, jam etc
oatmeal

snack:
handful of nuts
fruit of your choice
muffin ( I have a great recipe for banana muffins)

Lunch:
tomato sandwich with whole grain bread
salad
canned tuna

snack:
trail mix
fruit

dinner
1 oz of chicken breast or fish
salad with pumpkin seeds
baked potato

Here's the Vegan food guide and no you don't have to be vegetarian or vegan to enjoy any of the foods on this list. Also, try new foods you might find something that you like

The sugar in fruits is easier on the body than added sugar in products.
Drink water not this new vitamin water shit, it's got tonnes of sugar. Sip water throughout the day. You don't have to drink 8 cups a day, you drink for you and when you feel satisfied, stop

Healthy Chicken Sandwich recipe ?

Jess

Heyya...if someone could type an easy to make..or a bit tough....healthy yet tasty chicken sandwich recipe then that would be really helpful. Thanks a lot!
@ Edit : Ok I changed my mind..it doesn't have to be THIS easy!
Spicy...tangy is the main criteria

Answer
Well its not so hard really, here what I eat everyday for dinner since im on diet:

Spicy Chicken Sandwich:

First you buy those packages at Walmart or something that have like 5 pieces of chicken breast. I like to pick the Tyson brand. Each serving is 110 calories and around 5-10 calories from fat and 26g of protein, which is very good.

Then buy Bimbo Soft Wheat bread, or if you can find it, buy Bimbo 100% whole wheat. I buy mine off H.E.B. dunno if you have that store where you live. 2 slices are 120 calories, 10 calories from fat.

And finally a spice called Cayenne Pepper Powder. Its very healthy and helps increase metabolism. Maybe perhaps you would like to add a little pepper too?

You can add lettuce or avocado if you wish!

Just sprinkle the desired amount of Cayenne Pepper on the chicken breast & cook it on high. I cook mine without any oil because it already contains fat which works well to not stick so much.

And vuala, you have a very delicious chicken sandwich for less than 300 calories and high in protein & wheat

And if you cant find the Bimbo brand, make sure the bread you buy does NOT have high fructose corn syrup. Many breads do.

EDIT: Hmm well if you prefer tangy...you could always add a little lemon. Maybe perhaps you would like to cook the chicken breast in lemon juice or celery leaves for a change?

But whatever you do, do not add mayo, mayo is never healthy even though it claims to be "low fat".

Healthy Sandwich Recipe, please help!!!!?

Billie Jea

Hey guys, Im on a diet and i go to a school that has no cafeteria which means we have to bring our own food. I usually take to school a turkey sandwhich with mayo, tomatoe and lettuce and white bread and i know it has many calories. I would like to know an easy to make sandwich recipe with not many calories and that is easy to take every where. Thank you.

P.S. Not a very hard to make sanwich, just a VERYYYYY simple sandwich with few calories, and which has fewer calories, brown or white bread? Thank you sooo much :P

Answer
First off, sandwiches are a fine food to eat if you're on a diet. They incorporate several food groups and include good nutrition. Whole grain bread is better than white bread - it has more fiber and better nutrients. If you want to cut calories, make a large half sandwich using only one piece of bread, but adding more meat and veggies. Lowfat wraps are also a good way to get lots of protein and veggies in sandwich form without too much bread.

The sandwich you're eating is perfectly healthy. Mayo is an OK condiment if used moderately. It's made with eggs and vegetable oil, and the fat in it helps to keep you full (thus preventing you from overeating and extra snacking later). Don't use more than 2 tbs.

I'm not a big mayo eater, and have lots of things I like to put on sandwich bread instead:
Mustard (try different kinds - Dijon, whole grain, spicy)
Cranberry sauce (great with turkey!)
Hummus
Pesto
Avocado (also has fat and calories but is super healthy)
Oil, vinegar and herbs
Salad dressing

You could also think about salads. They're a great meal, and easy to make the night before.

Healthy sandwich recipes?

Q. Any really healthy sandwich recipes? NOTE: I'm on a diet, so no fattening things! PS NOTE: I'm 14, keep it easy. Something that I can take to school!
NOTE: I don't eat pig at all. Also I don't want meat/chicken in it xx

Answer
Choose whole wheat bread, because it's more nutritious than white bread, plus it keeps you feeling full for longer.

Add some salad (lettuce, sliced tomato and cucumber, for example) and then a sliced boiled egg, some smoked ham (or a non-meat alternative, something in slices) or some sliced low-fat cheese, then add some low-fat mayonnaise or salad dressing. Wrap the sandwich in foil to keep it really fresh. You can also take an apple or orange.

Make sure the salad makes up half the filling though, because that bulks out the sandwich and is almost calorie-free. If you want to make something you can scoop into the salad, you could finely chop some celery and onion, and stir it with reduced-fat salad dressing plus a can of tuna or some chopped boiled egg, and use that.

I need help deciding on a healthy diet for a teenage girl?

healthy sandwich recipes for diet image

Julia T

So what would be a healthy diet for a teen girl trying to lose 20 pounds? Like eat 4 or 5 times a day and very healthy food. What is easy and good like I can make before school, I can take to school, and I can eat after and for dinner. Please help give me a healthy diet plan!! Thank You (:

Answer
The best thing for you to do would be to seek the advice of your doctor or a registered dietitian who can work out a plan with you for your specific body's needs and your goals! That being said, I know that isn't cheap, so I'll try to give you some basic healthy meals and snacks that you could try...
The best thing to do is eat 5-6 smallers meals/snacks per day in a way that you're eating something every couple of hours. That keeps you from getting overly hungry and it keeps your metabolism going strong! So for example breakfast at 8, and snack at 10, lunch at 12:30, snack at 3, dinner at 6, and another snack at about 8:30.
Here are some healthy ideas for breakfasts,lunches,dinners,and snacks (I tried to include some that are easy to grab and go or to pack ahead of time for school!):
Breakfasts-
1.) 2 pieces whole grain toast, 1-2 Tbsp. natural peanut butter, a medium sized apple, and milk
2.) Oatmeal (prepared with milk/soy milk) topped with nuts and dried fruit and a scrambled egg
3.) Greek yogurt, 2/3 cup granola (go for one without added sugar!), and fresh berries
4.) A cup of whole grain cheerios, milk/soy milk, and a banana
5.) Peanut butter and banana quesadilla (take a whole grain tortilla, spread it with a thin layer of natural peanut butter, slice up half a banana and lay that on there, drizzle a small amount of honey on top, then fold in half and pop it in the microwae for 20 seconds! so yummy!) with a Yoplait yogurt or glass of milk/soy milk
Lunches-
1.) A turkey sandwich on whole grain bread with lettuce, tomato, mustard, and a slice of cheese or avacodo, a handful of grapes, and a cup of milk
2.) A pita stuffed with tuna, lettuce, and tomato, served with fresh cut up veggies dipped in hummus, plus a cup of milk/soy milk
3.) A peanut butter and jelly sandwich on whole grain bread, a single serving of pretzel sticks or sun chips, and carrot sticks
4.) A bowl of soup, whole grain crackers, and a fresh fruit cup with a cup of milk/soy milk
5.) English muffin "pizzas" (take an english muffin, split it in half, cover each side with some marinara sauce, then sprinkle on some part-skim cheese, lots of fresh veggies, and a sprinkle of oregeno and garlic powder. toast it for about 2 minutes before you are ready to eat it!), fresh apple and orange slices, and a cup of milk/soy milk
Dinners-
1.) A turkey or veggie burger on a whole grain bun with lettuce,tomato,onion, and a slice of cheese or avacodo, a side salad with light dressing, and a fruit cup
2.) Whole grain pasta in marinara sauce tossed with fresh veggies and spices, a side salad with light dressing, and a low-fat pudding cup (it's ok to have a portion of dessert a couple times a week!)
3.)A black bean burrito (made on a whole grain tortilla and stuffed with veggies, guacomole, and salsa!), a fresh fruit cup, and a cup of milk/soy milk
4.) A serving of salmon, a small baked potato, and a cup of steamed veggies
5.) Tofu or chicken stir-fry (all the veggies you want, a small handful of cashews, plus a serving of grilled chicken or tofu, lightly marinated in reduced-sodium soy sauce) over whole grain (brown) rice and a small sering of frozen yogurt for dessert
Snacks-
1.) Protein bars! (My favorites are Luna, Clif, Kind, and Pro bars...all available at Target and Whole Foods)
2.) Homemade fruit smoothies (google recipes!)
3.) An apple or banana with 1-2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter
4.) "Ants on a log" (celery sticks with PB and raisins)
5.) Dried fruit, nuts, seeds, or trail mix
6.) Nature Valley Oats and Honey all natural, crunchy granola bars
7.) Greek yogurt and a little granola
8.) Fresh fruit and cottage cheese
9.) String cheese and whole grain crackers
10.) Baked pita chips dipped in hummus, guacomole, or salsa
11.) Half a PB&J, PB&Honey, or PB&Banana sandwich on whole grain bread
12.) A cup of whole grain cereal with milk/soy milk
13.) 2 graham cracker squares with Nutella
14.) Fresh veggies dipped in hummus or low-fat french onion dip
15.) A mini-bagel or half an english muffin with low-fat cream cheese
16.) Frozen yogurt or low-fat fudgesicle
17.) 2 hard boiled eggs
18.) Microwave popcorn (get the 100 calorie individual pop bags for portion control, and skip the added butter. I like to sprinkle a mixture of cinnamon and 0 calorie all natural Truvia sweetner over mine to make it a little sweet!)
19.) A serving of pretzel sticks, baked Lays, or Sun Chips
20.) A 100 calorie snack pack (they have so many different kinds at the grocery store) or a chewy granola bar with a cup of milk/soy milk
Also, make sure you are drinking PLENTY of water throughout the day! This helps keep you full and hydrated, which can also in turn help your metabolism and energy level! Aim for 8 of the 1 cup glasses of water a day, or carry a cute, reusable bottle with you everywhere and just sip on it throughout the day!
Good luck! :)

I've been working all summer on improving my diet, limiting how much I eat, and working out more. Until the recent flood (in Toronto) I was running several times a week and I've lost a bit of weight. But my BMI is still in the High Zone so there is room for improvement.

I'm working full-time so there's not a lot of time left for food preparation. I also take a bagged lunch with a lunchmeat-sandwich every day, so if I could find a better option I'd use that. I also eat a Fibre cereal for breakfast and supper is wildcard depending on what my parent's cook.

I'm also using an app that tracks my Nutritional information based on foods I eat, and I'm quite concerned about my Sodium intake. Health Canada recommends 1,500 mg of salt a day and I'm usually in the 4,500 range. Another concern, I never get enough Protein in my diet.

I'm looking for healthy, tasty foods that I can incorporate or replace my staples with. Basically I need:
-Book Suggestions
-Recipes or link to recipes
-Low sodium, High protein
-I cannot eat Fish, Grapefruit, Pineapple, or Tropical fruits

Thanks, as I am making an effort to maintain a healthy diet.

Answer
An excellent subsititute for butter, cheese and fatty meat is avocado. You might hear people say that it is high in saturated fat (true!), but it is still much, much better for you than other fillings, especially if you have more than one (ie butter AND cheese).

Rather than having a boring sandwich with salad and not much else, try adding avocado to chicken and salad; alfalfa sprouts, spanish onion, carrot, lettuce etc. It's nice with salt and pepper, or a light dijonaise as well, and quite healthy! A lot of lettuce seems quite bland and won't add to a sandwich, so if you can afford it, go for different varieties. Asian ones especially have quite a lot more taste than a traditional cos or iceberg.

I know it's not easy to get Vegemite etc in the States, but any of those yeast or beef extract spreads are very nice on rice-cakes with alfalfa sprouts - for some inexplicable reason, it tastes a bit like chicken! Don't make the mistake of spreading it thickly, you only need a smear. The rice cakes are quite filling, but bland. This way, you don't add heaps of fat, but you get filled up!

Another thing that might be hard to find in the States is tinned beetroot - I'm not sure if you have it at all... It's an aquired taste, but adds sweetness and freshness to sandwiches with few nutritional negatives. If you can get it, it should be tinned in its own (pink!) juices, I guess its kind of pickled...? And it is generally sliced, but you can get baby ones like this too, I think. It's not nice by itself, and will go soggy fast, so it's best in a salad sandwich, eaten straight away.

On that note, pickled things in general are probably a good way to add a lot of flavour without too much fat or salt...

For something a little unusual, you can make fillings of leftover lentil or chickpea salad (you can find recipes everywhere online), which is incredibly cheap to make. If that seems quite heavy, you can substitute traditional bread for lavash or pita bread.

And always eat a wholegrain bread - not only is it full of things you don't get in white bread, it will fill you up, and contributes a lot more to you RDI for grains.

Another thing that might be hard to find in the States is tinned beetroot - I'm not sure if you have it at all... It's an aquired taste, but adds sweetness and freshness to sandwiches with few nutritional negatives. If you can get it, it should be tinned in its own (pink!) juices, I guess its kind of pickled...? And it is generally sliced, but you can get baby ones like this too, I think. It's not nice by itself, and will go soggy fast, so it's best in a salad sandwich, eaten straight away.

On that note, pickled things in general are probably a good way to add a lot of flavour without too much fat or salt...

For something a little unusual, you can make fillings of leftover lentil or chickpea salad (you can find recipes everywhere online), which is incredibly cheap to make. If that seems quite heavy, you can substitute traditional bread for lavash or pita bread.

And always eat a wholegrain bread - not only is it full of things you don't get in white bread, it will fill you up, and contributes a lot more to you RDI for grains.

How long do you have to diet to start noticing weight loss results?

Q. I'm currently sixteen years old, five feet seven inches, and one hundred-sixty pounds. I downloaded this app called Lose It and it says (for my weight) that I should only eat 1,312 calories a day. So if I stay within that budget, how long will it take for me to start noticing results? My goal weight is one hundred pounds and the app says that if I lose two pounds per week I should reach my goal by November 24th. I've never dieted before so I no pretty much nothing about this. I also exercise every night with an app called Easy Abs. Thank you to anyone who answers!

A. Yikes! That is scary!!!! Do NOT lose that much weight in that short amount of time, it's extremely unhealthy. What I suggest you download is an app called FitnessPal. I use it. The healthy calorie intake for me is 1800 calories a day. But I drink skim milk, eat whole wheat bread, and eat lots of veggies. I treat myself to junk once a week, like a small cookie.
I also run on the treadmill for 30 minutes every other day. Some days I do a Julien Micheals workout.

I was overweight before, and I've the course of four months I now have abs! :)
The calories don't matter as much, but Fitness Pal gives you a way to view the sugar and fat intake as well. Don't get too obsessed with the calories, exercising or weight. The best thing to do is to read up on healthy foods. I could give an example of what I eat pretty much.
Breakfast:
2 large eggs with chopped peppers and tomatoes in it, 2 Morningstar sausage, 1 banana, 1 cup skim milk.
OR (different day) 2 cups of 80 calorie fiber one chocolate cereal with 1 cup skim milk
Lunch:
Apple, Clementine, 2 pieces of whole wheat bread, 1 oz. Cheese, 1 oz almonds, fat free yogurt, tuna in water, 2 tablespoons mayo
OR (different day) Turkey sandwich instead of tunafish
Dinner:
Recipe out of the south beach diet
Or a salad with lots of different veges

What is a good diet for a Highschool student?

Q. I feel that I'm not eating right and my energy is taking a toll. I don't need to loose weight, I just need to be healthy. So what would you recommend for a good breakfast lunch and dinner. Being a student I don't have time to cook up major things.

A. Breakfast : Fruit Smoothies, Instant Oatmeal, Yogurt, Granola Bars, Fruit
Lunch: Salad (easy to make), if one day of the week you have a lot of time make a lot of something and keep it for left overs, like soup. I recommend Kale Lentil Soup, Black Bean Soup, Quinoa Soup. You can google recipes of these. Sandwiches (try whole wheat bread, and low sodium whatever you want on it)
Dinner: Fish if you eat is it good Salmon especially. Pasta with vegetables easy and good, another good grain is Quinoa. Tofu if you are up to trying it, has various various recipes Veggie burgers (yum) . Some servings of vegetables. A yummy one is Kale Chips. Basically wash dry kale, put on pan with some olive oil and cook for a little bit and they get a bit crunchy I love them. Another is baked potato wedges those are one I recommend.
