healthing my diet...

welll hiii..

i am 16 and a boarding school student. well you know school does not provide anything that is healthy to eat espeacially boarding schools. i have to eat what they serve or i did not have anything to eat . my meals at school is full of fats and carbs which is not good .

breakfast we will have fried foods like puffs , recess we will eat fried foods too but more heavier like fried noodles, fried rice or anything similar. lunch normally we will have rice two protein dish like chicken curry and fried squid and a veggie dish . one thing that i cant avoid all of these are cooked with too much oil and msg. dinner will be the same like lunch and for supper we will have fried carbs again or burger or noodles soup. its hard and i cant make my own food. if i avoid to eat it i will starve.

Any suggestions ...??

Hi,pink, a big fat complaint from your parents might help. Healthy options should be a choice. I hope things improve soon for you.

Have a word with your house tutor. Let them know you would like to have healthy options as you are concerned about quality of food and fat in it. There should always be healthy options especially for children.

Well, School days!. I am afraid all you can do is to control your portion and avoid what you do not want to eat, this may be difficult.

Are you over weight? what is your weight to height ration?

There are lot of food in your list is good food.

Think of students in some countries at the age of 16 go without any food!

I take it you are in South East Asia?

Do you do any exercise?, if you can do at least 30 minutes of exercise, walking or running or cycling you can control your weight.

I'm 14 and I'm in the same situation with PinkMe.

I'm in a boarding school and the food they give us seems way too unhealthy.

Especially since I have issues with food, it is hard to eat every single meal.

Reading your comment made me think a lot.

I know it's hard, but I'll try to eat somehow healthy

and try to exercise to control my weight.

Thanks.
