im vegetarian, and i do things like live off maccas just without meat in the burgers(:

what are some healthy recipes for breakfast lunch and dinner i could use ?
thankyou !!
i said vegetarian, not vegan people !

Answer
I would cut out the dairy. Many omnivores don't consume dairy because it makes them fat.

For breakfast:
You can make a smoothie with blueberries and strawberries and a small piece of banana. In addition to that, you could have one thin slice of healthy (look at the ingredients) toast with a little bit of non-hydrogenated margarine spread (if you can only find hydrogenated just use olive oil & salt) and a hard boiled egg.

for lunch:
a really good salad with a vinagrette, non-hydrogenated, soy-free dressing. Watch out for soy sauce because MSG is naturally occurring in soy sauce and many other soy products. MSG is known to make people eat more because it keeps you from getting a natural feeling of satiety.

Dinner:

A reasonable sandwich.

i want some healthy breakfast recipes that are fun to make because i like to cook :) thx a lot!

Answer
Make waffles Sunday morning and freeze the leftovers. You can pop ‘em in the toaster for a homemade breakfast

Whole-egg or egg white omelets with fresh or frozen veggies (carrots, broccoli, celery, peppers, onions and even black beans make great additions).

Make a shake or a smoothie. Blend fruit and yogurt and then drink it in the car. A side option is a small bag of finger foods, such as a mixture of granola and grapes.

Bake bran muffins early in the week, then grab one or two each morning

2.Meanwhile, place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, rinse with cold water, 2 minutes, peel and slice.
