okay for the following i want to know at least 5 good things to eat that are very healthy:
-Breakfast
-lunch
-dinner
-snacks
-other healthy items

thank you =)
 
Breakfast:
- whole grain cereals
- soy protein breakfast sausage
- Canadian bacon
- Egg beaters (or similar)
- omelets made with Egg Beaters, with red. fat cheese, gr. peppers, and/or spinach, onions
- French Toast made with Egg Beaters, whole grain bread, REAL maple syrup

Lunch
- Salads (with healthy proteins - chicken, tuna, salmon, etc.)
turkey burgers (with or w/o bread. if bread/rolls - whole wheat/whole grain
- turkey or chicken sandwich. There are some good quality reduced fat cheeses (not processed crap like Cracker Barrel brands), and again.. whole grain bread choices
many more choices

Dinner
(almost too many choices here)
Portion size is important
- ww pasta with chicken, shrimp either with a red sauce or olive oil & fresh garlic & herbs
- large dinner salads, w/nuts, red. fat cheese, chicken, salmon, etc. (broiled, of course)
- Steamed broccoli as a side
- Grilled or broiled swordfish with olive oil & lemon
- broccoli slaw cole slaw (home made)
- Sweet potatoes, slices, cut in chunks coated w/olive oil, herbs and roasted.
- Chicken fillets or fish fillets can be dipped in Egg Beaters and coated with almond flour instead of flour & bread crumbs and fried in a little olive oils (delicious!) Sooo much healthier, and very tasty.

The list goes on, and on, and on.

Snacks
- apple wedges with natural peanut butter
- small (handful) of almonds
- mozzarella cheese sticks (part skim or red. fat)
- hummus with baby carrots and/or gr. pepper strips
- banana, oranges, etc.

If I had time... I'd list more w/recipes.
