Healthy lunch?

[Danni1738]

What would be the healthiest and most filling choice for something to pack for school lunch?

I've tried packing a ham and veggie sandwich with fruit but I usually end up getting hungry again after school. I try to avoid the school lunch so it's packed with fats and sodium, even the salads. I don't get home until 5 since I have track practice so I try my best to stay full during school.

I'm looking for something under 300 calories since I usually eat dinner when I get home and a little bit of cereal before bed to satisfy my sweet tooth. Im considering packing a torta but I'm not sure how much calories it would have, even if it's just ham and veggies.

You are 16 just eat leftovers or a peanut butter sandwich. Stop stressing over food.

Just red up on some of your previous posts op and for someone who is 100 pounds you should not be worrying about your food and just eating all you can get.

Are you being treated for an eating disorder?

You are a 16-year-old boy who weighs about 100 pounds - and yet trying to keep lunch at 300 calories or less.

You need to close your computer and go tell your parents that you need some help. Now. Seriously.

Stop thinking in terms of "healthy" and "unhealthy" at your age.

I would avoid throwing out statements like this.

Personally I eat PB and J, almonds, an apple and something sweet for lunch just about everyday.

You should probably be focusing on eating more and gaining a little bit of weight, and honestly, enjoy food while you can, because eventually you won't be able to.

I don't really agree with comments saying healthy eating doesn't matter at 16. Being young isn't an excuse to eat a ton of garbage. Feel free to treat yourself, yeah, but keep it mostly not junk food.

A lot of things would be fine to eat, though. Don't stress about it. A couple hundred extra calories won't make a difference.

burrito, casserole that you split up, chili, egg noodles with garlic and butter.

You don't have to agree with anything. But believing in "junk food" is the problem.

After reading these replies I've decided on the torta and stop stressing over it. After all I am considered under weight but will continue to try to stay as healthy as I can.

I realize that it's all just food and that reasonable amounts of it won't hurt you and everything. I just find calling stuff "junk food" a quick way to summarize foods that generally are okay to eat in reasonable amounts, but won't necessarily benefit your health or anything, and could be detrimental to your health if eaten in excessive amounts.
