BORED OF SALADS-others things i can order out
I used to be heavy but ive lost a good amount of weight over the last months & am know skinny. i let myself have a cheat meal every once in a while but mostly i like to eat healthy. i pack healthy lunches at school & during the week im good. its the weekends when i want to look hot & skinny but still look forward to meals. Im 13 so i dont chose or have much say in what my family does. We eat out most of the time & thats where i want to look forward to eating something good. I really like salads but i'm bored of my usual casear salad with chicken or shrimp or salmon. Is there anything else healthy i could order? sandwiches or something. please help ~EAS

You're doing great--but don't forget to allow yourself to cheat occassionally for the emotional high you need or your healthy eating habits will crash and burn.
You're in luck nowadays-- almost every menu has a low-cal or heart healthy section of delicious meals. Look there or ask your waitress.
Then, as far as salads go, treat yourself to a Sante Fe Salad with the grilled chicken and different lettuces, and corn chip strips, with salsa and maybe (ask your waitress) low-cal sour cream.
It's a nice change with lots of texture and crunch which is satisfying and the variety is marvelous and still low-cal and heart healthy.
You can always ask for grilled chicken, grilled salmon with lime or lemon squeezed, broiled or partially bolied fresh veggie--cut the potatoes and cut breads.
Milk is good- not sugar-free sodas--but 2% milk or water with lemon twists. Ask your waitress.
Have fun.

As a general rule, anything grilled (as opposed to fried) is good. Like grilled chicken sandwich over fried chicken fingers, for example. A sandwich is good, especially with tomatoes, lettuce, onions, etc. Order it without mayo or condiments, and add them yourself if you really want them (you'll put less on and therefore, fewer calories).
I don't know what restaurants you go to, but there's a lot around where I live that will put pretty much ANYTHING you want on a garden salad - tuna fish, ham, any sub topping, etc. If you go to Subway, you can make any sub sandwich a salad. There's a lot of toppings, so they won't be boring either.
hope I helped, & congrats on losing weight! =]
