What the perfect lunch (nutritionally) look like?!


Question: What the perfect lunch (nutritionally) look like?
What would the best lunch be to have on a daily bases? I'm 16 and bring a lunch to school. I play water polo and workout a lot, so I want something healthy, but it has to be able to fill me up. An example of an answer would be something like: turkey sandwich, yogurt, banana, assorted nuts, and some kind of juice/milk. I'm looking for the healthiest and most balanced lunch that would keep me sharp mentally and physically daily. Thank you!

Answers:

For me, I love salads.

In school, I used to make pita bread (but you can buy your own obviously) and stuff salad in the bread and put dressing on it when I was ready to eat.
I had an apple with some nut butter (almond is my favourite) on the side.

I really don't like most commericial juices because they have a lot of sugar (some even add sugar) and non-organic juices contain a lot of pesticides. I love drinking Kombucha (G.T.'s is my fav), but they are a very acquired taste - i used to dislike the stuff but now I love it and it makes me feel great. Pure green tea or white tea (make sure it doesn't have sugar in it) are fantastic. Green tea has a tad bit of caffeine which can help you power through the rest of your day.

I am not into all the sugar laden yogurts available, greek yogurt (Fage is the best, imo) is awesome. 0% fat is so decadent but very low cal (~90 calories). If you like the lunch I gave you above, you can sub the nut butter for Fage.

2 slices multi-grain bread
1 cup fresh baby carrots
