LOCKED TOPIC

Teens: what did YOU eat today?

I'm kind of copying the oh so popular topic found in the food forum. This is different, though: for teens! I think it's pretty interesting to see what we teenagers eat, and this will kind of give the chance for teens to see what other healthy foods they can add to their diet.. I sure know that my diet needs improvement XD

Oh, and the same rules as the one in the other forum applies.. especially do not post if you are not eating enough. Nobody wants to see it, and you're only hurting yourself in the long run; believe me, I found out the hard way.

I'll start!
breakfast: cheerios, a yogurt, & and orange
lunch: a turkey sandwich (i love low carb bread! really.) an apple, another yogurt, &wheat thins

so...after 3 years of being vegan i have decided to try an experiment.
i have had a really hard time concentrating lately.
i thought it was due to the fact that i was under eating for a very long time but for a fairly long time now i have have been eating plenty and getting lots of sleep. but still i am always feeling like a deer in headlights and drained. well i got to researching and i decided that i would try to include salmon (for it's high omega-3, protein and b-12 and low mercury content) in my diet 1/2X a week for a few weeks to see if that helps any.

i'm going to say that today it wasn't very good. i bought henry and lisa's grab n' go salmon packets and it was such a weird texture (though maybe that's just me thinking that because i haven't had fish in such a long time.) and very dry (though i did bake it in a toaster oven. i don't know if that matter.) and made my stomach kinda upset.

does anyone have any suggestions on how to cook salmon as i have probably about four more salmon dinners in the next few weeks of my experiment and i would like to not have to gag the stuff down and drown it in pepper like i did today.

i'd probably poach it if i were going to eat it, or bake it in foil with a little water (although im not totally sure about the latter). it's not surprising that it made your stomach a little upset if you've been vegan for three years, but i think if you carry on eating it you may get used to digesting it etc.

salmon has a really strong flavour, i'm not an expert but i think there are other oily white fish that also have high levels of omega 3 (?). it might be an idea to try these first, because they can have a less overpowering taste.

but you can get fish oils in pill form. i don't know the specifics but i was told to take them before when i was having treatment for something. if you really couldn't stomach the fish then maybe that's something you could look into.
