My idea of healthy eating for anyone (vegan, vegetarian, everyone)

Eating Guide:

Breakfast:
Pure water, tea or coffee (no cream or sugar! Use honey or sweetener if you must have it)
Fruit only (shouldn't be hard considering you usually probably don't eat anything for breakfast)

More options & Weekend breaky:
Hard boiled egg, omelets (filled with veggies!), or porridge (but make your owe!) 1/2 whole wheat toast with peanut butter.

Lunch:

Salads (no creamy dressing or use no fat)
Soups (stay away from creamy, and sides of buns/rolls)
1/2 sandwiches (filled with MOSTLY veggies! Stay away from mayo)

Weekend lunches:

Stay away from sides like potatoes of any kind... FRENCH fries!! Don't be tricked by Sweet potato fries...

Dinner and weekend dinners:
Just remember how your plate should look. 1/2 plate add veggies/ salads/ greens (does not include potatoes)
1/4 plate add protein (meat, lentils)
1/4 grains/carbs (pasta, rice, potatoes)

Snacks:
Nuts, seaweed, rice crackers, cheese, boiled egg, veggies

Drinks:
Water, plain teas

Weekend drinks:
Diet pop to mix with alcohol or sparkling water, light beer
Stay away from fruity mixed drinks!

**not for growing children, eat often, NEVER GO HUNGRY!!**more option available this is brief, get creative and keep your plate COLORFUL!)

This is my guide to loosing weight I am not a nutritionist. More carbohydrates and energy foods MUST be added if your exercising. Think balance, don't just pick out the carb options from each category!

GOOD options:
Breakfast: banana, boiled egg, plain tea
Lunch: miso soup, salads with veggies
Snacks: any if the above
Dinner: 1/2 plate steamed spinach and brocoli, 1/4 plate roast potatoes, 1/4 plate grilled chicken

BAD options;
Breakfast: toast and fried eggs
Lunch: sandwich and cream bacon soup
Dinner: plate of creamy chicken pasta
Snacks: only crackers
