Can I get some suggestions for what to eat, please?

Question

Okay, one important thing to note is that I am a 16 year old male, heavy build but still not much fat. I also am home schooled, so this means that I can do my school at whatever time of the day I so please. In other words, unlike most people, I don't have to fit my eating habits with my work schedule, since I have no work schedule.

With that said, what are some good ideas for things to eat? I can go to a grocery store and look around and have no idea where to start. There's so many options, and so many combinations possible with different foods (Meat + bread = sandwich, etc.) so I'm just looking for some suggestions.

Again, preparation time is not an issue. I've been known to spend 3 hours cooking a nice meal for my family. Yes, I'm... I am the cook of the house.

I have lots of recipe books, so I have lots of ideas for dinner, it's more breakfast, lunch and snacks that I seem stuck on.

One last thing to note - I go to bed at around 1:00am and wake up at about 10:00.

Thanks.

Answer 1

I'm the cook of my house as well and enjoy doing it! i suggest for breakfast smoothies(strawberry yogurt,banana,and ice blended with orange juice) or how about a nice western omelet( 3 eggs,cheddar cheese,peppers,onion,ham and sum salsa on the side with some toast)
Lunch-chicken Cesar wrap(any wrap u like filled with chicken romaine and Cesar dressing) or BLT wrap(wrap of choice,bacon,lettuce,tomato and mayo) or steak quesadillas(sauteed peppers onions and steak with melted pepper jack cheese between 2 warm tortillas)
snack-homemade muffins(banana nut,blueberry,cranberry etc) or something more simple get sum crackers and put peanut butter and bananas on top
hope this helps x0x0

Answer 2

I use my grandmother's rule of thumb, a pretty plate is a well rounded meal. In other words a plate full of color is often the healthiest. For example you could make an Omlette for breakfast and add to it any number of veggies and serve it with a bowel of fresh fruit and a whole grain toast. As to snacks I would stick with fresh veggies cut into bite size and managable pieces and again fresh fruits adding a handful of a good trail mix and thats almost a complete meal in itself. Your guide to a good nutritional meal is this, you only need about 6oz. of protien, the rest of your plate should be 2/3 veggies and only a 1/3 of starch. The fresher the better and if your looking for breakfast and other recipies you can try going to www.foodnetwork.com, they have a wide variety of recipies that you can draw ideas from and you can print them too. Happy Eating!
