What foods should I eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner to stay healthy?
Answers:
For breakfast something light that can get ur metabolism started like whole wheat bread, oatmeal, or cereal with little sugar. For lunch, a ham sandwich or something with fish and for dinner chicken with no skin and salad. Make sure to have plenty of fruits and veggies throughout the day. At least once a day eat some type of soup and calcium (milk, yogurt, or cheese). That would be a healthy diet.
cereal and a fruit for breakfast..
a grilled chicken salad and a fruit for lunch..
homemade stir fry and veggies fro supper..
and lots of water to drink
Healthy food idea:
Breakfast -1 slice whole wheat bread with low fat cheese and a boiled egg
Branch - 1 apple / 1 low fat yogurt / any fruit in moderate proportion
Lunch - Salad (don't use too much dressing), soup and grilled/baked/lightly fried fish
Tea - fruits and milk (1% is better for you)
Dinner - Grilled chicken, a small portion (2 table spoon) of rice (can replace the rice with a slice of bread or half potato baked ) and lots of vegetable
For a healthy diet overall you want to eat (in moderation) a combination of the following:
Lean Proteins, i.e.:
Egg whites
Skinless turkey breast
Skinless chicken breast
Lean red meat - top round, top sirloin, eye round, round tip, top loin, tenderloin, bottom round
Center cut pork
Fish (especially salmon for it's omega's)
Canned tuna (in water, drained)
Beans (use canned if you like but rinse to eliminate added sugars and salt)
Veggies, i.e.:
All cruciferous (broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, brussel sprouts) vegetables
Peppers, tomatoes (I know they are a fruit, but everyone thinks of them as a veg), onion, garlic, mushrooms, asparagus, green beans, eggplant, squash, zucchini, spinach, lettuces (the darker the green the more nutrients in it), etc.
Low fat Dairy, i.e.:
Skim or 1% milk
Low Fat sour cream, yogurt (without sugars), cheeses
Cheese choices that are naturally lower in fat or tend to be used in smaller moderation are - parmigiano reggiano, feta, and goat cheese
Whole Grains, i.e.:
1/2 cup of whole grain pasta (make sure it is whole grain, not just wheat as wheat can be processed and stripped of nutrients)
1/2 cup brown rice, quinoa, barley, oats, buckwheat
Popcorn (air popped, no butter)
Whole grain bread or crackers (make sure your bread contains at least 3 g of fiber per slice)
Fruits, i.e.:
Apples, berries, melon, pears, oranges, peaches, bananas, etc.
Good Fats, i.e.:
Olive oil (or a few olives), avocados (which can fall under fruits too), canola oil, flax seed oil
Drink lots of water, 8-10 (8 ounce) glasses per day....eat in moderation, and try to incorporate the above items and you'll be eating healthy in no time.
One of the keys is variety.....so you don't get bored. Try a new fruit or veg at least once a week.
One of the secrets to shopping is stick to the outer edges of the grocery store....All the junk and processed stuff is on the inner aisles.
Hope I helped some....Good luck and BE HEALTHY!!
