No matter your age, your body is constantly changing, so it is vital that you eat enough good quality food that delivers the right nutrition and energy you need.

Bio Complete 3 contains a potent blend of probiotics, prebiotics, and

Over 1/3 of the adult American population is suffering from Obesity which is a major cause of chronic ailments.

What’s more, it starts off when we are young and becomes grave as we age and hit adulthood.

For teenagers, eating healthy food can be fun, but it can also be challenging especially as the shape of their bodies change.

These physical changes, most of which are unexpected, can also be difficult to deal with, what with the external pressure from friends and peers to look a certain way.

The body also demands more calories at this stage, than any other time in life, with boys requiring about 2,800 calories daily, and girls 2,200 calories.

However, it doesn’t mean you should go on a crash diet because your body won’t get the nutrients it needs as you’re still growing.

If you’re a mom, you have a lot more on your plate, besides the dynamics of your lifestyle from the home front to the workplace.

There are some smart and easy diet plans that work for teenagers to mommies – from breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks that everyone can enjoy.

Pick some and alternate the days for easier, hassle-free planning.

 

What Should You Eat?

Ideally, you want to eat a balanced variety of foods from grains, bread, and cereals, which are rich in carbohydrates that give your brain and muscles the energy they need.

These foods are also an excellent source of B vitamins and fiber. Without them, you may feel run down and tired so you must try and include them in every meal.

Fruit and veggies offer the minerals and vitamins that boost your immunity, keeping you from falling sick. The daily recommendation is 2 servings of fruit and five for veggies.

Foods like fish, legumes, meat, nuts, eggs, and chicken are great protein and iron sources. For teenagers, especially girls, these foods offer much-needed iron, especially during their period.

Iron makes red blood cells that carry oxygen around your body, so when it is in short supply, conditions like anemia can develop making you feel light-headed, tired, and short of breath.

For growth and healthy muscles, protein should be included in your diet plan, otherwise, it can delay or stunt your height and weight as you go through adolescence.

Dairy foods like cheese, milk, and yogurt help build teeth and bones while keeping your nerves, heart, and muscles in proper working condition.

Fluids like water and fresh juices help keep your body hydrated so you don’t feel thirsty or tired. Let’s look at some easy diet plans for teens and mommies:

Breakfast

 

This is the first meal of the day.

Pick fast and easy items for breakfast so you don’t have to overthink what to eat, especially on busy mornings.

Add plenty of grains to your day, and probably switch things up on weekend mornings.

Some easy diet plans for breakfast would include:

 

1. Good ol’ breakfast cereals

Go for cereals with high fiber and low fat, and little sugar.

 

2. Whole-grain toast with peanut butter, or, baked beans on toast

Whole-grain bread is a rich source of protein, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals, unsaturated fat, and three types of fiber: insoluble, soluble, and resistant starch.

Because it has a dense wholemeal flour base and lots of seeds and grain, it keeps you feeling full, plus you get the added benefit of healthy omega 3 fats. Easily among the best of diet plans.

Adding peanut butter ensures you get more from breakfast as it is high in protein and contains essential minerals.

 

3. Yogurt with muesli (berries and granola)

Get some muesli and add to a glass of yogurt for a fresh burst of energy in the morning. It also keeps you feeling full for some time, so you’re not tempted to overeat.

 

4. An assortment of fruit

If you’re looking for clean and green diet plans, one mouthful of exotic fruit salad in the morning would be great. You can almost feel the sunshine as you start your day.

 

Lunch

 

A homemade lunch is a great strategy for good nutrition. You can make simple sandwiches with turkey, lean meat or tuna, and add loads of vegetables on whole-grain bread.

Alternatively, if you’re not a fan of sandwiches, make a salad and throw in some almonds, chicken strips, and creamy dressing.

Create some easy, healthy snacks a part of your diet plans. You can pick the ones that you like at home and pack those for your school or office lunch. These can be:

 

5. A veggie pizza

Snacks

 

These are small but frequent bites that you can eat in between meals for extra energy, and concentration. These are mostly called energy diet plans.

They can be assembled the night before so that you stick to your meal plan and make them faster on your way to school or work.

Keep fresh fruit, nuts, yogurt, and dried fruit with you, plus, if you need a ‘pick me up’ beverage to feel more alert or awake, take water, herbal teas, or decaffeinated coffee.
