The key
No one likes counting calories, no one likes planning their meals, so why bother trying, right. People have only 24 hours in a day and why spend the 16 hours you are awake writing down everything you ate. Hello! You have other stuff to worry about, like school and being a teenager. In order to make sure that you are having a healthy, balanced diet ( or what works for me) is eating six small meals everyday and having a mental checklist for each meal.
Here is the checklists for each meal
Breakfast-
Fat
Protein
Dairy
Grain
Snack-
Vegetable
Lunch-
Protein
Fat
Grain
Fruit
Vegetable
Snack-
Fruit
Dinner-
Protein
Grain
Fruit
Vegetable
Snack-
Fruit or vegetable and milk.
Note: This is the snack that I eat after my workout.
If you memorize this mental check list( you can carry a peice of paper the first few days) you will know what to eat, without planning, counting, or writing. It is really simple.
