Hi, I am 16 years old and i weight 250lbs. I am going to start exercising tomorrow and I really have no idea what kind of food to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I will be walking/jogging the treadmill in the morning and i am also planning on doing it sometime at night also. If you guys can give me a list of what to eat/drink for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, then I would appreciate it. Oh and also what kind of fruit should i eat? Do any fruits make you gain weight also? Thanks!
Breakfast: Oatmeal with raspberries and blueberries, or an egg white omelet with spinach and mushrooms. Orange juice is alright sparingly, but it has a lot of sugars and should only be had in an 8 oz. glass once a day.
Lunch: A salad with leafy greens (such as spinach) rather than lettuce, with skinless, grilled chicken.
Dinner: A lean meat, such as fish, with at least two types of steamed veggies.
For snacks, you can try nuts, yogurt, and fruits such as strawberries, apples, and apricots. Exotic fruits like pineapple and mango are high in sugar and should be eaten sparingly.
Try to revolve all of your meals around vegetables instead of meat, and avoid too much bread and pasta.
Good luck!
