1. Keep veggies like bagged salads, precut carrots, etc on hand. It takes literally 3 minutes to make a salad to take. I pack my lunch the night before so I just grab my bag from the fridge and run. I also try to cook a few meals like Chili when I have time on the weekent to keep all week. Use quick meats like ground turkey to build around. Just keep thinking of small things to speed time and increase nutrition.
2. go to www.mypyramid.gov to find out exactly how much you should consume nad how much activity you need. when you are watchin TV maybe you should do sit ups or tune into Fit TV. Wake up a little early and put is some stretches or wahtever sport you like. afterschool do a routine that you will stick to. diet wise, stick to a 1,800 calorie diet. use a diet journal to help. record what you ate and it's calories. figure how much you went over and burn that. record the exercises and calories burnt. write in it daily. ask a counselor for school nutrition. exercise too. i do 50 push ups, sit ups and stretch a lot. i jog atleast 30 minutes a day, i do yoga in my free time and dance sometimes! have fun doing it too! get buds to join my food- i eat a bowl of mini wheats that have lots of fiber with an able on the side for breakfast, school i have no extras for lunch, snack is a handful of nuts and dinner i don't over eat. sometimes thirst is mistooken for hunger. so drink all the time to make sure. the average person needs 8 glasses a day! ha! and check some past questions about BMI and overweight/underweight to find out. and check your doctor or gym teacher to make sure dieting and exercising is okay. you cna damage yourself or hurt yourself a lot!
