Reply from Orcy, Age 15 - 10/29/06 - IP#: 70.172.200.xxx ok well, try to pack your own lunch for school. you can buy fruits and veggies, turkey, whole grain bread, water, etc. if you have to buy lunch, does your school offer something better, like salads or turkey sandwiches? most schools offer fruits and veggies so eat some of that. and always buy water or milk. avoid soda and juice with high amounts of sugar. as far as work, try to eat something before you go to hold you over until you get home. Or, Mcdonalds does have a few healthy options. you can get a fruit and walnut salad (try to avoid the walnuts though, they contain a lot of the calories), other salads (without fried chicken though or high fat dressing) etc. if you don't want to do that, one of the healthies things is the plain old hamburger, because its relativily small and isn't loaded with other crap. as far as sleep, try to get eight hours a night. find away to organize your time. Maybe you could get home from school, do all your homework, relax for like, 1/2 an hour, go for a jog or do an exercise video or some form of exercise, shower, then go to work. that why, when you get home your can just have something to eat if your hungry and then go right to bed. hope i helped, good luck!
