I need meal ideas for the week. variety would be nice. please help!!?!

Vitamin B's are important and so are lots of other things, too many for me to list here. From what I can see you need to include some nuts (do granola bars have nuts? I've never eaten them) protein and leafy greens in your diet. If your a vegetarian/ vegan you could look at some websites about nutrition.
So, to give you some ideas about a diet, try to work out what your diet is lacking by getting some good information, and add these things to what you love, but here's a start.
vegemite is good for B vitamins
So for breaky:
go for some vegemite on grainy bread toast, try to get bread with pumpkin seeds.
fortified cereals (added vitamins) Fortified means that the vitamins and minerals have to be proven to be beneficial by Food Standards Australia & New Zealand. Might help you get some added vitamins you might be missing out on.
Lunch:
If you don't like bread then you can use flat breads, just fill them with whatever you like, avocado has good oils and you need to get plenty of these. (walnuts have good oils too) cashews are really nice with salad stuff. Use the flat bread to make pizzas too.
Good old baked beans are awesome, plenty of protein, hardly any fat. Toasty with cheese. Mix them with chilli, onion and capsicum. freeze it. use in taco's, enchilada's etc and put cheese on top. Good for dinner also.
For easy - fruit, veg sticks, nuts, dried fruit, smoothies, or buy yourself some sushi if you don't want to make it, though if made the night before it keeps well in the fridge for a day.
Dinner:
Pasta with a shop bought pesto, add other stuff you like to it, eg pepper, lemon oil, lots of spinach, parmesan.
My best salad ever: Lots of green leafy's, cashews, mersey valley (or a sharp, crumbly) cheese, red capsicum (put in the oven for about 1/2 hour peel skin off and slice) raw corn kernels cut straight off the cob, red onion.
Vegie grill - big mushrooms, asparagus, corn on the cob, tomatoes- all in the same pan, colourful and so yum.
Ceaser salad, you can buy pre packaged, ready to make up varieties, add eggs if you eat them.
If you like curry they are easy and tasty. Use chick peas for meatiness.
You can chop up little pieces of root vege's, roast them (this is a quick way to get lots of flavour and you can put garlic etc on them) and add them to salad or pizza.
Make soups with lentils, chick peas and loads of veg and veg stock. Serve with bread/ crackers.
So many things...... but the most important thing of all is that your body is getting what it needs to function properly. Good luck x

There is a GREAT Casserole that makes plenty. If you are only cooking for one two or even three, you can make four little ones and freeze three. Go to tasteofhome.com and search for "meaty pasta casserole" and it is the first one that comes up. It requires a lot of ingredients but is well worth it for taste and quantity!

Busy schedules can really make eating a healthy diet difficult. I plan my meals for the week and do all my prep work on my day off. I start with cooking a batch of steel cut oats. Simple (directions are on the package). Instant oatmeal cannot even compare in fiber and nutrients. I wash my fruit and cut it if necessary. There's Breakfast. I spice it up by varying the flavors like changing up the fruit or adding cinnamon or nutmeg. I also make a batch of quinoa (directions also on the package) which contains all your aminos and makes a complete protein. It's delicious and can be served hot or cold. I keep frozen veggies handy (while fresh is optimum) to add to it. I like to season it with garlic, sea salt, pepper maybe some oregano. Play with your spices, find out what you like. I also wash and cut lettuce. Romaine is my favorite but choose what you like. I can make a quick simple salad or add it to a wrap. Which brings us to wraps. I like to keep whole grain wraps on hand. I cook up some Gardein "chicken" scallopini (in the frozen section at Whole Foods and sometimes at your regular grocery store) and cut it up into bite size pieces. Now I can throw that on my wrap, in my salad or even in my quinoa. So that takes care of lunch and some dinner. If you are wanting something more hardy for dinner, casseroles are your friend. It's a great way to throw healthy veggies and beans or whatever you like into a warm satisfying meal. This is my favorite recipe http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/2006/07/mex… I always add my own flare. You should too. It sounds like a lot of work, it's really not once you get it down. You will thank yourself during the week when you are eating yummy healthy foods!

Here's a terrific dinner recipe:

Creamy Spinach And Tomato Tortellini

1 package (16 oz. size) fresh or frozen tortellini
2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 package (9 oz. size) frozen, chopped spinach, thawed
1 cup cubed, seeded, fresh or canned tomato

OR

This next one makes a great lunch. Easy to transport and doesn't need to be kept cold because it's served at room temperature.
