Exersize/Diet Plan
Hi. I'm 13/f. I am a very unhealthy eater and am not active what-so-ever. I am very skinny, just not in shape. I am 5'3'' & weigh about 95 lbs. I am not worried about my weight or anything, just am worried about my health.
This is where you come in.
I need a plan.
I need some breakfast ideas, lunch Ideas
& for dinner, I have no control, but its usually home-cooked & healthy so I should be okay with that.
I need some exersizes also. I am going to try and start running once around my block 3 times a week [my block is small, but I will increase the distance gradually]. I will also TRY and do 30 situps a night. ANY OTHER IDEAS?
Thanks so much in advance.

Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Fitness?
stick to the food pyramid.
breakfast- a bagel with some fruit. or a fruit smoothie. or maybe just some healthy cereal.
lunch- PBJ or turkey sandwhich on whole wheat. carrots &/or celery. (some kinda of veggie) and an apple (or some kind of fruit). water. you deffinatley want to replace all of your drinks with water and/or low fat milk. & if you drink fruit juice dilute it with a little bit of water due to high sugar.
snacks- fruits or veggies or some nuts.
dinner- lean meats. chicken & fish. pork isn't that bad for you either. just not fried stuff.
always have a rainbow on your plate. have your meat, a green, and another veggie.
& if you have desert you can have a bowl of fruit or a smoothie.
now to excersise!
your excersising sounds about good.
you could also do jumping jacks or something during commercials if you watch alot of TV.
& then theres always fit tv on cable.
hope i helped :)

You shouldn't be worried about your health I am the exact same height but I weigh 100 lbs. Anyway if you want to get in shape thats a great way to start. You could also try taking vitamins in the morning or eating fruit to start your day off. Another idea not sure if this is very good or not, but jumproping. For lunch maybe soup and a sandwhich.

First of all, let me say that it's incredibly refreshing to hear a weight/exercise question from someone purely concerned about their health. Good for you for that.
You might want to consult a nutritionist when it comes to your food intake. You're underweight which could be because of your age, or it could be caused by something else. A nutritionist could assess this, as well as giving you healthy food ideas.
If that's not an option, there are many, many sites that will tell you approximately what you should be eating. Canada's food guide might give you a bit of a start:

Exercise wise, anything that gets you moving is good for you. Cardio (running, walking, etc.) is excellent. Weights can be good but aren't necessary. Are there any sports you enjoy? Badminton, swimming, volleyball, skiing (I don't know where you live), or even something unconventional like juggling? If you like what you're doing, you're more likely to be able to stick to it.
If you're really out of shape, you might want to start by walking around the block, or running half and walking the other half--don't push yourself too hard or you'll crash and hurt your body. Slow with gradual increases (which is what you seem to have in mind) is the best way to avoid injury and have a better chance at sticking to it.
It's great to see you being responsible about this--I can't say that enough. Good luck!
