I’ve eaten unhealthy all my life but now it’s time to turn my life around. How do I go about eating healthy for breakfast , lunch and dinner. How many servings of vegetables and fruits shall I eat. Could I substitiute fruit juice for fruit? What are some healthy alternatives for snacks? Food really isn’t an option I here at college and they have all sorts of food options. Even if the main course is unhealthy there still the salad bar and sandwich bar and fruit. So can ya help?
Go to the American Heart Association website. They have every thing you need to know. The servings and sizes. Good luck.

You know what’s right and what’s wrong. READ LABELS Fresh natural is good, almost anything man-made is not a good choice…Just think healthy every time you reach for food. Eventually you’ll train your brain to think healthy first! You can have as many servings of fruits, veggies and salads as you can eat. Subway is a healthier choice, in a pinch, as well. Visit their website for nutritional info on 6 under 6 subs, I was surprised at what I learned. Whole wheat bead no mayo or cheese, lean meat, load up with veggies and devour with enthusiasm..! good luck

you should have protein for breakfast, like eggs or something.
You should get 5 servings of veg/fruit.
Fruit juice is really bad for you [tons of sugar] so just eat raw fruit. it’s way better for you.
protein bars are good snacks & so is fruit.

start slowly and don’t punish yourself for having lapses. anytime you lapse and eat unhealthy food, at the next meal tell yourself "every meal is a new chance to do the right thing." i have recently lost 20 lbs by eating better and working out 30 mins 3-4 times a week. i’m not perfect, but i definitely correct any overeating at the next meal.
if i know i’m going out to lunch with friends, i will eat:
breakfast – fruit, milk, 1/2 cup cereal
lunch – whatever i want at the restaurant, but only half of the portion they serve. bring the rest home.
dinner – salad full of veggies
dessert – small portion of ice cream or sherbert
have a small snack a few times a day. you should be eating either a meal or a snack every two hours to keep your metabolism up and avoid starvation hunger pangs and binge eating. just realize that you are making CHOICES, not being ruled by food. besides, you can eat way more fruit and veggies than pizza and still consume the same amount of calories. make other changes, like buying whole wheat bread rather than white.

Do like I have been doing, eat like you normally do but make sure you eat your fruits and vegies first before each meal. for example if I have spegetti, I eat a big salad, I eat some of it before the meal is done, and after ward if I feel like a piece of chocolate I go ahead.
when I get hungry again (I eat my biggest meal in the morning due to work schedule of my hubby) I make a fruit smoothie with a couple of bananas with strawberries and yogurt with a little milk, even a scoop of ice cream depending on how hungry I am.
then when I get hungry again I eat a bowl of my favorite cereal and add strawberries or apples or bananas depending on what I have and fill it up heavily with the fruit.
If I don’t feel like a smoothie I will make my salad with tuna or some croutons, then if still hungry have some chicken noodle soup, and if that don’t work I eat some yogurt or eat a fruit I have not eaten in a long time like watermelon. Yummy!

Look at How to Start in my blog for my meal plan.
Try low carb, low fat, high fibre, high protein, and exercise. The foods are low caloried, and yet filling and healthy. Brisk walking is great for burning body fats.
It is my lifestyle now. I am on low carb, low fat, high fibre, high protein and a hour brisk walk 5 times a week, and I have lost 31lbs/14kg and gained better health. I am now maintaining my 108lbs/49kg for more than a year, with more fruits and complex carbs.
Details such as my experience, meals, snacks, recipes, foods to buy, reading labels, walking as an exercise and to shape the body etc etc, are in my blog
