I'm looking for high school lunches ideas and combo(snacks,water,meals/sandwich ideas). I'm a freshman this year and our school lunches suck. I want to go healthy this year too.)
Answer
Bring a sandwich on whole-wheat bread, or a wrap in whole-wheat tortillas. Fill with crisp lettuce, veggies, lean meat. You might need something to stop the bread from getting soggy or add some flavour to the wrap -make sure it's low-fat.
Definitely bring a thermal lunchbox/bag, so that you can bring a wider variety of items without worry that it won't stay cold enough. Try bringing a yogurt-cup (healthy yogurt, not full-fat), some veggies and dip, and some home-baked goods like muffins or banana bread (make sure you use healthy recipes), try wrapping & freezing individually so you can grab one portion to take with you (it'll be thawed by lunch).
You could also bring a tupperware container full of salad, or a cold pasta salad (or if you have access to a microwave, one that's meant to be served hot, just reheat it) with lots of vegetables mixed in, or a thermos full of hearty (but healthy) soup.

Healthy recipes for picky eaters!?
Brianna
I am getting ready to have gastric bypass (I am a big woman and need the help). My husband and my son (3 years old. Also have a daughter but she is 8 months) are picky eaters. My husband would like to get healthier and we both agree we need to set up our kids need to be taught to be healthy as early as possible. What are some healthy recipes for my picky eaters? No onions, peppers, or mushrooms please.
Answer
Oh hell, they don't seem so picky. Just no onion, peppers or mushroom. My kids ate what I put in front of them and liked it all. Just don't let them get away with saying they don't like something until they've at least tried one bite of it. If it really repulses them, then ya know that's out for them.
Grilled Lemon Herbed Chicken, grilled zucchini, garlic toast.
Greek Chicken and Potatoes with Greek Salad
Antipasto Salad and Crostini
Greens with Albacore salad atop.
Fresh sauted Spinach in garlic olive oil with a pinch of nutmeg, sprinkled with fresh lemon juice once cooked. Top with Seared Sea Scallops.
Lentil Soup
Chicken and Rice soup
Dijon, lemon juice and rosemary marinated lean pork chops on the grill, grilled veg kabobs, side salad.
Grilled lean steaks, small baked potatoes, bed of greens with slices of pears, topped with sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, gorgonzola and a homemade raspberry vinaigrette.
Lemon Glazed Ham steak (cut fat out first), potatoes galette, candied brussel sprouts.
Beef, Barley and veg stew with biscuits made with sugar free almond milk.
Deli sandwiches are good. Just use whole grain bread. I never had the opportunity to try white bread until sometime in the 70's when I was a teen. We ate healthy. Daddy was a farmer.
Puerto Rican Pork Stew (so good and full of veg's)
Shish ka bobs with any assortment of meat and veg's, herbed garlic toast.
Pasta, Asparagus and various veg salad with fresh basil, lemon and dijon vinaigrette.
Herbed baked Barrimundi served over spinach salad. Maybe top it with your favorite chimmichurra sauce. There are so many to choose from.
Stir fried vegs and protein of your choice over brown rice or whole wheat pasta.
Egg Drop Soup with Chinese Pea Pods in it. Really good.
Fresh fruit salad with fresh mint. No sugar. Pineapple is quite sweet as it is.
Anyway Hon, there's a lot you can do. Just have to limit the carbs a bit, and try to use olive oil whenever possible. Like when you make garlic toast, use half butter, half olive oil. When you need a bit of oil to toss oven fries or veg's in, use olive oil. Use olive oil to saute vegs, make vinaigrettes. It's GMO free and naturally good for you. I wish you and the family the best. Maybe ya'll could take a short walk with a frisbee after dinner. I can't do a frisbee to save my life, but perhaps you'll be busy chasing it like I would.
Best to ya.
