Healthier foods for me.
F/15 . I'm pretty skinny. Weight :120. Height :5'6.
But I eat like crazy. I could eat 2 breakfast burritos for breakfast ,nachos for lunch ,chips during the day ,Mcdonalds after school ,and pizza for dinner . So theres obviously a problem . . . maybe even an eating disorder? Anyways I've recently become VERY worried about gaining weight.
So basicly I just need help with some kind of healthy foods. Does anyone know anythinq I could replace these foods with? Because I can't really think of any.
Please & Thank-you.

You have normal weight and even if you gained a few pounds, it would still be normal. :]
Have cereal or a bowl of fruit for breakfast. Yogurt, orange juice, etc.
Eat whatever you want for lunch and dinner.
You can't expect yourself to cut out food that you enjoy. Eating healthier is a lifestyle. It takes time to get the hang of it. It's like saying you won't have dessert or chips again. In moderation it's okay but for example, eating fast food every day for a month wouldn't be. Take your age in consideration. You are still young and growing, you need meals and snacks. You don't want to turn into bones. Just because you eat food that's high in fat doesn't mean you will gain weight. You sound like you have a high metabolism and your body may need the junk food.
I have a friend who has a high metabolism like me that went vegan and she looks sickly thin. If you decide to cut back into certain foods, you should take vitamins too.
You should go to a library and look into some cookbooks. There's really good healthy meals to make and not so healthy but still delicious meals. :P

For breakfast, cereal which is high in fibre with yoghurt, fresh fruit and juice is a healthy start to the day.
For lunch and dinner, try to get a mix of all the food groups. Grilled chicken, steamed fish, fresh vegetables, e.g not out of a tin, pasta, rice. Just try to maintain a balanced diet with plenty of vegetables and fruits. The things you mentioned are acceptable for a treat every once in a while.
Once you get used a healthier lifestyle it will become easier to maintain a better diet.

burriiots are HORRIABLE for you. very high in fat and saturated fats and carbs!
replace it with an eggwhite (or even a normal egg- bc anythings better then burrito, but eggwhites if your serious about your eight) and add in all the veggies ud want in your burriot- spinach, mushrooms,peppers etc. but be very light with the cheese.
NO NACHOS! replace that with carrots or celerey or fruit or an 100 calorie snack- anythings better then that.
NO MORE MCDONALDS. it plain old BAD for you. replace that with grilled NOT fried chicken.
you can have pizza for dinner- as long as you dont eat high fat and high carb foods before that- maybe even change it to wholewheat pizza. or just have a salad with pieces of grilled chick or salmon in it.
or just have chicken or salom for dinner.
if u want bread- change it whole wheat.
if you want help or a great eating plan email me at sasa9821@aim.com!
goodluck
