I am a fourteen year old trying to eat lunch everyday, during summer. I wake up around noon or eleven and sometimes just eat just breakfast. I want to eat lunch, but cannot eat out and I don't like many cold cuts and processed food. I am on a semi-diet to prevent acne breakouts (not really weight loss diet) that is accompanied by a little weightlifting/aerobic activity. My preferences are spicy food, does not take long to make (or much skill), is at least under $3 in grocery, and is healthy. Thanks!

I am underweight around 100 lbs. Both of my parents work, so either them or I can cook on a stove. P.S. Tuna and peanut butter is not healthy

If you are on a semi-diet, try vegetables and fruits. They are healthy and eating tomatoes and cucumbers will make your acnee simply disappear. Try mixed salads of fruits and vegetables. When you are in mood of proteines, try easy meat like chicken or fish.

What about a salad topped with some black beans. You could make a sauce out of plain yougert mixed with a little chipotle powder for a dressing to give it a zing. You could also shread up some white meat chicken. Just a little bit. I had the same problem with funds as a teen and ate healthy at home. This could be done cold. Just get a can of black beans, a bag salad, and a chicken breast. Put all this stuff in refrigerator containers and out of the can. It will last longer. You can squeeze some lime over the salad also. I love the taste of chipotle and yogert. I love black beans at any time. Rice is really cheap. Price this out. I will cost some money, but if you buy it and make it into several meals probably not much.
It would be basically a cold salad
keep the parts separate until righ before you eat it.
I am thinking all food groups without hurting your skin and giving you energy to work out. Do not skip protein.
Get vegetarian black beans or fat free. Then you will not get lard.

Go with a pack of yellow corn tortillas, Bottle of hot salsa, eggs and green lettuce (cheddar optional).
The secret is to fill the entire skillet with scrambled eggs, then put them aside in a big bowl...Micro or steam a bunch of tortillas and put them aside. Now, make a bunch of scrambled egg soft tacos, adding a little extra hot sauce and/or cheese, enclose them in baggies and refrigerate for later days. Chop up the lettuce and store.
Every day, take out about 3 or 4 of them, lay them in a Tupperware, heat them up, pour on the salsa and add the lettuce.
This is a VERY filling, tasty and satisfying lunch!
Make sure you eat lots of oranges too.
All this is very cheap and nutritious!

Spicy Ramen noodles would be good, unless you are watching salt intake. They are VERY cheap, cook in 3 minutes, and are delicious. There are a lot of varieties, too. They are versatile, since you can add vegetables or meats to make a heartier meal.

First it would be helpful to know how big you are, if you are male or female, and how much exercise you get. P.S. getting acne from certain foods is an old wive's tale, it's not actually true... think about it.

Tuna fish and mayo sandwich. Put in a bit of onion and or celery for a bit extra.

Well, it's nice that you can sleep in so late. You should have your mother cook for you since you won't always have her there. Why not use her while you can? Don't tell me you're uncomfortable with that because judging by how late you sleep in, you don't respect her enough to get up early to help out around the house or such.
Eh, now to answer your question: diet celery. It will keep the weight off. And if you put peanut butter on it, that's good, and the healthiness of the diet celery balances the unhealthiness of the peanut butter. Just eat fruits and vegetables. Those are easy to prepare, and are not processed.

Yogurt, nuts and some fruit? Perhaps granola bar with it. Veggie wraps, things like that...
