Teenagers tend to have better metabolisms than adults do. This means teenagers can burn calories faster and longer than their parents during the same activities. In order to keep your metabolism on the right track, it is important to feed it healthy foods. Eating breakfast jump starts your body and gives it fuel to start the day, without it, you are running on fumes. Stay away from high fat pastries and junk as well as fatty meats like sausages and bacon, they are not healthy at any time of the day.

For lunches, make sure you have fresh fruits or vegetables instead of chips, even low fat cheese is better than a bag of BBQ grease. Use whole grain breads and lean lunch meats. Don't forget to add some some veggies to that sandwich and cut out the high fat mayo for a low fat version. If you buy your lunch from the cafeteria, check with the staff to see which items have the fewest calories. Never get the fries or anything else that is fried and the pizza is usually a bad option as well. After you have been eating healthy for a while, you can have some fries every once in a while, just be mindful of how much you are eating and how often.

Snacking at school can be a minefield of bad choices. Avoid the snack machine at all costs because it is full of bad options. If you must get something from the machine, try the trail mix and buy a bottle of water. Soda's and juices are big no's for healthy eaters. They are liquid calories without any nutritional value. Sure, fruit juice can be good for you, however it is loaded with sugar as well as calories and often comes in double serving sized containers.

At dinner time, cut back on the size of your meal and eliminate seconds. If you are having pasta, skip the bread and make a salad with low fat dressing as a main part of your meal. Do not add extra fat to your vegetables, for instance, there is no need to slather a tablespoon of mayonnaise onto your broccoli or a quarter cup of ranch on anything you eat. While eating, slow down, this way you can stop as soon as you feel full and you will bypass a lot of extras your body does not need.
