Healthy foods.
Well, I am trying to lose weight, and I work out for track about an hour everyday. However, I need help on the eating part.
What are some quick, easy and healthy things I could make for lunch at school, or breakfast on the go?
and I'm anemic, so what some things that have a lot of iron in them?

As a father of two, I'm pretty busy myself. What I do is make a giant omelet: 3-4 bell peppers, a pound of mushrooms, some scallions, cheese and about a dozen eggs. I sautee the vegetables until they're soft, season appropriately, add the eggs, then put the whole thing in the oven at about 400 degrees until the eggs have set. Cut it into wedges, wrap in foil, and freeze. 5 minutes in the microwave, and there's breakfast.
Foods with a lot of iron: beans, lentils, meat, fish, poultry, bell peppers, broccoli, fruits such as cantaloupe and strawberries, etc. If you have access to a microwave or Thermos, you might want to try split-pea or lentil soup for lunch (at least in the winter) or hummus and pita. If you're seeing a nutritionist for your anemia, ask detailed questions.
One other thing: cook in cast iron pans. Whatever you cook will absorb iron from the pan. (Nonstick pans are bad for you anyway.)
Hope this helps.
