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
after school: a peanut butter sandwhich on whole grain & an orange
dinner: probably light soup & a salad or something!

don't be shy XD

breakfast:
fiber one cereal with 1% lactaid milk
egg whites, couple strips of extra lean turkey bacon

dinner:
cobbish salad (lettuce, turkey cold cuts, egg whites, roma tomatoes, green onion, extra lean turkey bacon, salt, and pepper)

Original Post by yyonah:

i had to go veggie due to some reactions i was taking to the histamine in meat and eggs (i.e - fits and sweats in my sleep) any good ideas for veggie sources of protein and iron? (: much appreciated.

Heres a link with some details of iron in different foods (obviously, there are other foods that are good sources of iron that are not on the link!). There are also some information on there about iron absorbtion, which is just as important as actually taking in the iron.  http://www.vegsoc.org/info/iron.html

For protien heres another link: http://www.vegsoc.org/info/protein.html

Also, B12 is important if your cutting out meat (I'm so hypocritical , I'm terrible when it comes to getting B12) http://www.vegsoc.org/info/b12.html

If you'd like any veggie recipes, feel free to PM me! Or the veggie forum on here is fantastic!

brown_paper_bag, here is the recipe for the gronola :)

it is honestly amazing.. so enjoy:

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup crispix
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup shreddies (or wheat flakes, or both!)
1 cup raw unsalted almonds (sliced or unsliced)
1/2 cup unsalted sunflower seeds
1/4 cup sesame seeds

COATING MIXTURE:
1/2 cup sugar (organic if you can)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tsp vanilla extract (or maple extract)
1/4 cup honey (the hard kind)

PREP:
1. preheat oven to 300, in a lrg bowl mix all dry ingredients until evenly distributed
2. in a small saucepan, place all cating ingredients. gently warm ingredients until honey is melted
3. pour coating mix over dry ingredients. Using a wooden spoon(or hands) mix all ingredients until all are coated.
4. spread gronola onto a baking sheet with parchment paper.
5. Baking time is 40 minutes, but you cant walk away from the oven, you need to stir the gronola while it is baking so that all becomes toasted.
6. transfer baked gronola onto a cooling rake and wait until it is completely hard. When its cool you can break it apart and put it into a container or even freeze it and save it for later!!
