The only way I can eat at school is eat something bad. either fries, cookies, muffins, chips, etc. There is no fruit I can buy. Also, all the entrees are usually pretty bad for you. I have no time to pack my own lunch. What should I do?

By the way, since school started, I haven't been able to lose anything.

You can make time to pack it. It takes five minutes to throw some fruit, nuts, and a sandwich into a brown bag. Stick it in the fridge the night before and grab it on your way out the door the next day.

Pack your lunch the night before if you don't have time to do it in the morning. If you don't even have time for THAT you can make meat/cheese/peanutbutter sandwiches in bulk on the weekend, wrap them up indivudually and freeze them (just don't put any vegetables into them becuase they go soggy.) You can also freeze homemade baked goods like muffins, and they can be very nutritious. Fruit doesn't need any preperation time at all - just grab it and go. Want something different? You could get tuna snack packs, fruit in individual serves, any of the myriad of 100-calorie packs, fiber one bars or other snack bars etc. Grab an assortment and fling it in your bag and off you go.

if you really care about losing weight and your health, you will make the 10 minutes (max) required to make yourself a lunch.  I thought the same thing last year, that I didnt have time to pack a lunch.  But this year, Ive made time..waking up 10 min earlier really isnt a big deal.

WHAT?! NO FRUIT?! Well, I shouldn't be so surprised, because my school sells fruit $2 each and they are well bruised. -sigh-

Just try to pack your lunch the day before. Like if you usually watch tv before bedtime, just do it while packing your lunch. Or, tell your principal how unhealthy the cafetaria is.

you have to pack  your lunch!!I usually pack mine the night before school because I never have time in the morning either.I like to throw some fruit,granoloa bars and sandwiches for my lunches.

no time to pack your lunch? outta a 24 hour day you can't find time to pack your lumch? I don't think so. Stop searching for a magic answer and just pack one the night before!
