Q: Person from 1232- My typical day would be Breakfast- 1 chewy bar(Quaker granola) Lunch- at school peanut butter and jelly sandwitch (white bread) with iced tea sometimes a bag of chips Dinner- two scoops of potatoes(big scoops) 2 schnitzels, and grated beets. I would have a very recent snack in between in between all of them like Chewy Granola Bars(Quaker) Fruit snacks, Fruit Roll ups. And for drink i would drink a lot of V8 Splash and Cranberry Juice. AThis is whjat i would eat almost everyday. I hope this helps?

A: Yeah, almost all of those foods are pretty bad choices and are responsible for both your feelings of hunger and being overweight. Your dinner is OK on the whole, but everything else is bad. All of those things, from chewy granola bars to white bread to chips to even cranberry juice give you mostly simple carbs/sugars that go straight into fat deposits and do not provide lasting source of energy (hence your feeling hungry). Here are my suggestions...

Breakfast... Breakfast is probably the most important meal of the day and one chewy bar is not going to cut it. Try to have some plain oatmeal (not the sugared kind) with a piece of fruit and/or berries and/or cinnamon for taste. If you absolutely cannot stomach oatmeal, then at least have some cheerios with milk. Also have an egg or two or some cottage cheese.

Lunch... Chips, white bread and jelly are just junk and peanut butter is only so-so. Instead how about bringing a turkey or maybe tuna sandwich from home made on whole-wheat bread. And no chips :) If you do eat peanut butter, get 'natural peanut butter' (all stores have it) where the ingredients are just peanuts and salt. But better yet, go with a sandwich like I described. Would be great if you could eat some veggies too -- maybe bring a small tupperware bowl of salad from home or at least couple tomatoes and generous helping of lettuce leaves in your sandwich.

Dinner can be left alone, as I said. Schnitzels aren't the best for you, but not nearly as bad as some of the other stuff you eat.

For snacks eat whole fruits (bananas, apples, etc.) and drink plain water.

Those would be the first changes I'd suggest. It won't taste as good but it will be TONS healthier and keep you from getting so hungry. It's very good that you already swim in school -- try to play more sports with friends and just generally be more active -- anything from shoveling snow to mowing lawns. Good luck!
