Question: Does this sound like enough for an 11 year old girl's lunch?
1 cup broccoli and cauliflower florets with 2 tablespoons light raspberry dressing
1/2 cup blueberries
Slice of banana bread
because i packed this in my lunch and my mom says it was wayy to small, and me me eat a lot more. what do you think?
Answers:
That really doesn't sound like enough; you're growing and you NEED food. Lots of calories are good for you body right now.
Try have 1 or 2 servings of grains, 1 serving of fruit/veg, 1 serving of protein, and 1 serving of dairy with every meal.
For example, for lunch you might have..
A meat sandwich with whole grain bread, meat, lettuce, tomato, cheese
with some carrot/celery sticks or peas, broccoli, etc.. or a banana or apple, and orange..
accompanied by a nice milk, chocolate milk, etc.
Even some cookies or banana bread for dessert or something.
Or you could have some soup, a wrap, tacos.. etc. Hummus with veggies and beans..
Rice with chicken/turkey/some sort of fish, shrimp, etc.. with some carrots or broccoli or whatever kind of veg you like.
You have to eat alot at this time of life, girl!
