Breakfast, lunch, & dinner?

Xtina

I have a clean refrigerator (no food). I figure a perfect time to eat healthy. I am a fast food junkie & love soda. I need help. I'm a very picky eater, so does anyone know what I ca do? Any ideas what I can buy?

Thanks,

Hi Xtina! Seems like an empty fridge is a great place to start! Like a blank canvas!!! Fill it up with fruits and veggies, high protein, low carb snacks, like greek yogurt. Cutting soda will be a huge step in losing weight. Eliminating most of your fast food is also going to help. I find that I need variety in order to eat healthy! Try to buy a variety of things that you like...good luck to you!

You can substitute pop with juice like v8 splash, and sobe life waters, those are good. For alternatives to chips, you can go with wheat thins, and goldfish, and other crackers. And like pink paper said greek yogurt is also a good idea. There are a ton of health bars you can eat that taste good. If you like fast meals try and find individual tv dinners or hot pockets that are lean cuisine or lean pockets etc.. Try and make salads you can find all kinds of types of salad ideas online etc..

As Pinkpaper & Deads2289 stated Freggies, whole grain crackers, are a great place to start. If you find you need to eat out get a side salad instead of fries, try grilled chicken instead of a burger, have them not put on the sauces. Tea is a better option then soda.

what do you like? I make alot from scratch and fast type meals as I am mom of 3 kids so never a ton of time you can take favorite dishes and find healthier ways to make them. We snack alot on fruit. I love salads so most always have that in my fridge. I keep frozen veggies and fruit at all times.

This website is great and has a lot of meal plan guides especially if you wish to lose weight. http://www.freedieting.com/free_diet_plans.htm

What are your goals? Generally you should keep a ratio of 45% Carbohydrates, 30% protein, and 25% fat for balanced nutrition and take a multivitamin. Of course if you want to lose weight you'll need less carbs and more protein.

If you are trying to gain muscle mass you should eat 1.5x-2x your body weight in pounds as grams of protein

    I'm horrified!  I knew my insurance would go up due to getting a new car but I didn't expect it to go up over $2,000.  I did have an accident with the snow/ice in the winter.  I was just telling my brother that I have had my car since March 2, 2026 and have only spent $75 on an oil change.  Now this!  I called another insurance company and their quote was over $4,000.  I guess I have to pay...
