Thanx for that but here, it's strange to give kids that type cos their teachers will expect u to give them a full meal. |

Sandwich and Orange Juice Ommellete and juice or milk |

Gabry: Omelette as a pack lunch? |
Re: Ideal Lunch Package For Kids by Gabry(f): 7:02am On Sep 16, 2009 |
TOPE2000!: Yeap. But Spanish Style. You do an egg wash and than you get a pan. You pour the egg wash very thinly on the pan and sprinkle spring onions and mushroom (to be chopped finely) and fry it and toss it the other way so its like a pancake but thinner. And than in the middle of the egg, u can put some cheese or some sliced bacon and some chopped parsley and than you fold it nicely like a dumpling. It will look like a finger food in the end of the day. My mom use to make that for me for school as a packed lunch. |

@Topic, the Ideal would be fruits, veggies and water or 100% natural fruit juice. |
Re: Ideal Lunch Package For Kids by kellorah: 11:31am On Sep 16, 2009 |
Full meal. . . hmm. Is that really advisable? How long is he in school for? Jollof rice, or fried rice, or rice and stew Mashed potato, steak/sausages and gravy Fried plantain Pasta Pastries Sandwiches [u can make him like 5 slices if ur worried he'll remain hungry lol] Avoid eggs, and beans, so he doesn't get bullied. 3 Likes 3 Shares |

Re: Ideal Lunch Package For Kids by cheries: 8:19am On Sep 17, 2009 |

Re: Ideal Lunch Package For Kids by Gamine(f): 3:31pm On Sep 17, 2009 |
Im just saying. .pumping your child with carbs and unhealthy foods isnt exactly an ideal package. |
Re: Ideal Lunch Package For Kids by cheries: 3:49pm On Sep 17, 2009 |
@ Gamine Are u residing in Nigeria, If yes, which area? |
Re: Ideal Lunch Package For Kids by Gamine(f): 7:18pm On Sep 17, 2009 |
What would my location tell you |
Re: Ideal Lunch Package For Kids by kellorah: 7:45pm On Sep 17, 2009 |
Kids don't exactly eat as much as adults, so a small plate of rice won't exactly make the child put on that much weight, or have a heart attack. At the end of the day, he does loads of exercise at school by running around. I don't think such meal will kill him. He can have salad and fish when he gets home; something healthy anyway. |
Re: Ideal Lunch Package For Kids by Gamine(f): 8:34pm On Sep 17, 2009 |
so a small plate of rice won't exactly make the child put on that much weight, or have a heart attack. I wonder when obesity starts, i dont think its just happens on an adult. and its really sad you should mention heart-attack, i had a family friend who died at 25 of a heart-attack, he was tall, fine and lean (not thin/underweight) one doesnt have to 'put on weight' to have health problems and i think healthy living should start from childhood most of our parents weren't enlightened, i don't think we have any excuse now. Dont get me wrong though (some carbs arent bad) but giving your child steak?? c'mon. Mohawk and Chaircover's package is more of what you should emulate. A vegetable, A fruit and some form of meat, i wouldnt go with Ham or Tuna though. |
Re: Ideal Lunch Package For Kids by Fhemmmy: 9:27pm On Sep 17, 2009 |
chaircover: Those are all nice, but the sweet could backfire, as it can make some kids hyper. |
Re: Ideal Lunch Package For Kids by cheries: 9:31pm On Sep 17, 2009 |
@Gamine so this package is really ok for the kid? I really want to know @Flemmy Thanx for that pls more contributions |
Re: Ideal Lunch Package For Kids by Gamine(f): 10:20pm On Sep 17, 2009 |
Like Fhemmmy said, Sweets could trigger ADD also avoid; chocolate bars Potato crisps Sweet drinks Donuts and cakes Lollies, chocolate spread and jams The Essentials; Vegetables: carrot, corn, peas or cucumbers. Fruit: Fresh, or tinned fruit in natural juice Dairy : Cheese, Yoghurt (natural or fruit) like Chaircover suggested Protein : – slice of meat (chicken,beef), hard-boiled egg or beans Carbs – bread, roll, fruit bread or crackers Water or Milk, some fruit juice could be too sweet. |
Re: Ideal Lunch Package For Kids by kellorah: 10:48pm On Sep 17, 2009 |
Diff between steak and beef? Obviously I don't expect her to give the kid 100kg of meat. At the end of the day ur grilling it, and not frying. If a pack of biscuits, like someone suggested, will cause ADD then u wont give ur kid that, but until it happens sweets wont kill the kid. Your not exactly filling his lunch box with sweets. You guys are being too strict on a kid's diet. . .dayuuum. I know I wont be too pleased if my parents give me sandwich as my lunch. Even schools feed the kids pasta! Just make it as healthy as u can. Then again, it depends on the metabolism of the person cos from now till tomorrow I can keep eating steak without putting on weight. |
Re: Ideal Lunch Package For Kids by Gamine(f): 10:51pm On Sep 17, 2009 |
You dont have to put on weight to get dead. i guess, it depends on the type of steak. first thing that came to my mind. . .lol, not a goodlook. Theres no ban on sweets and such, but they shouldnt be packed as a reg. we are talking Ideal here anyway, healthy suggestions |
Re: Ideal Lunch Package For Kids by kellorah: 10:57pm On Sep 17, 2009 |
Wot? The child's gonna have heart problems? LOL! Why can't he run around like everyother kid? EXERCISE!! Anyways, I believe when it's ur time to go, u'll go. You could be the healthiest person in world. |

Re: Ideal Lunch Package For Kids by Gamine(f): 11:01pm On Sep 17, 2009 |
Wot? The child's gonna have heart problems? LOL! Laughing at your ignorance, When its your time to go? who decides that |
Re: Ideal Lunch Package For Kids by kellorah: 11:07pm On Sep 17, 2009 |
God! But it doesn't mean I'm gonna go stand in the middle of the road, or drink FAT! But yeah, I eat reasonably and will feed my kids reasonably. She wanted MEALS for her kid, and I listed meals for her. . .I don't even have a kid. And the food my child will eat will be decided by my husband and I. Besides it's not like I'm gonna wake up in the morning to make steak. Chill! |

The Same God, that gave us all these natural things to keep us healthy But it doesn't mean I'm gonna go stand in the middle of the road, or drink FAT! Why not, how will a car hit you if it isnt your time to go . . .And i told her some of your suggestions arent good, but i'm gonna let you finish. |
