Answer by Faniya
i would say good choices and any kind because there healthy all of them

Answer by Jen
Don’t know what you define as healthy or cheap, but I typically make large batches of chili or pasta to take with me to work. The chili is pretty cheap considering the servings I get from it: Kidney beans, black beans, whole kernel sweet corn, brown rice, large jar (24 oz?) salsa… I typically use two cans/cups of each. The pasta is cheap too, and I either add sauce or saute it the night before with a bit of butter and onion. Soup is also relatively cheap and can be made in bulk to take to work. I use two cartons of broth, two packages of soup veggies, one cup corn, one cup broccoli, half pound ring-shaped pasta (look like Spaghetti O’s).

Best of luck!

Answer by Oldwhiteguy2earth
Don’t forget that if you do make dinners at home, you can always make an extra serving or two. Almost anything can be frozen and microwaved at work later. That way you would have a lot of variety.

Salad, wrap or sandwich, use whole grains, meat, reduced fat cheese, and veggies. Most lunch meats, turkey, chicken, roast beef are better choices than peanut butter and jelly.

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 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

Q&A:

Answer by cae
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!

Answer by cope_acetic
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.

Answer by aanstalokaniskiodov_nikolai
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.

What do you think? Answer below!

I’m trying to eat healthier. My goal is to be a model, so obviously I need not only to be healthy, but to look healthy as well!
MIz Lamb, not all models starve themselves. Don’t be so sterotypical. Models like Miranda Kerr and Adriana Lima are really healthy and eat really well. MIranda Kerr even once stated, “I only do things that are good for my body”, and obviously starving herself is not one of those things.

The answer in the following:

Answer by lone wolf
yup, sounds healthy to me.

Answer by jlplusec
Sounds good but you need to remember to use color if you are trying to be healthy. If it is white colors, it is starchy. Make sure at dinner to throw in some color, especially green.

Answer by Elena R
Yes it is…but watch the sodium in the soup.

Answer by bbgirl
No, bannanas are loaded with starchy sugar, and chicken noodle soup, if not homemade, is loaded with sodium, starch, and processed meat. There are no veggies in the mix, no fiber, and two many starchy carbs

Answer by Miz Lamb
NOT for a model!!! they must starve most of the time to maintain the skinniest of frames.

eat mostly dark green salad stuff with a little bit of other fruits and veggies!

chicken noodle soup and a banana are very heavy carbohydrate foods and the soup has way too much salt in it.
