Any healthy meal/snack ideas?

Question

Obviously, fruits and vegetables; chicken and salmon-but what else?

Answer 1

hummus and olives with some cheese and whole grain crackers or bread

Answer 2

Nuts (raw and unsalted) are fatty but filling and nutritious. Yogurt can be tricky--a lot of it is full of sugar, so check the label. Plain yogurts or yogurt with probiotic cultures is even better. For a dairy alternative I recommend almond milk. It's high in calcium, lower in calories and is simply scrumptious. Also, be careful about "whole grains". That term gets tossed around a lot. I think for a while Froot Loops had a big "Whole Grains" stamp on them. I would go for more veggies than fruits--fruits are mostly natural sugar, water, and some fiber. That's not a bad thing, and can easily fill you up, but not as good as filling up on a more nutrient rich vegetable like broccoli or kale or (yum!) avocados. Buy things that are in season--they'll be cheaper and fresher and more local. For protein, chicken and turkey are good sources, and tofu is excellent as well. As far as fish goes, be careful about what you get. Sustainability, nutritional value, and mercury content are important. Sockeye salmon is an excellent choice, whereas Orange Roughy (though delicious) is not.

Answer 3

Most fish is also very healthy. One of my favorites, however, is pork. These chops are easy to make (under 1/2 hour), low in calories (about 130) and low in fat (5 grams total, 2 grams saturated).

Pork Chops

1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce for chicken
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard
4 3-ounce boneless pork top loin chops, cut 3/4 to 1 inch thick
1/2 to 1 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon snipped fresh chives, parsley, or oregano

For sauce, in a small bowl stir together the water, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and mustard; set aside.

Trim fat from chops. Sprinkle both sides of each chop with lemon-pepper seasoning. In a 10-inch skillet melt butter over medium heat. Add chops and cook for 8 to 12 minutes or until pork juices run clear, turning once halfway through cooking time. Remove from heat. Transfer chops to a serving platter; cover and keep warm.

Pour sauce into skillet; stir to scrape up any crusty browned bits from bottom of skillet. Heat until bubbly. Pour sauce over chops. Sprinkle with chives, parsley or oregano.

Answer 4

snacks- 1 cup unbuttered/unsalted popcorn, handful of nuts, yogurt fat free, and yes fruits and veggies...
healthy meals...grilled chicken, salmon, egg sandwich on whole wheat bread., tuna over greens, salads., whole grain pastas, tomato sauce (not creamy sauces), ...turkey meat, legumes, hearty veggie soup,
..just about anything as long as you eat in moderation. Cut out all chips, pop, fruit juices, sugars, flour, ice cream, cakes, cookies and start buying fresh fruits, veggies and whole grains(rice pasta flour)
