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.
Re: Ideal Lunch Package For Kids by Gabry(f): 1:44am On Sep 16, 2009
Sandwich and Orange Juice

Ommellete and juice or milk

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. lipsrsealed lipsrsealed lipsrsealed lipsrsealed lipsrsealed

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 undecided
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. undecided undecided

He can have salad and fish when he gets home; something healthy anyway.

I wonder when obesity starts, i dont think its just happens on an adult. undecided
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:

I give my daugher;

1 sandwich - can be ham, jam or marmite
1 piece of fruit - can be an apple a banana, a few grapes or a pear
1 sweet - which can be 1 mini yoghurt, small kitkat bar or mini packet of biscuits
1 carton of fruit juice


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? undecided 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. undecided undecided undecided 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. lipsrsealed lipsrsealed 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.

Laughing at your ignorance,  undecided

When its your time to go? who decides that  undecided
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. undecided undecided undecided undecided undecided


Chill!

chaircover:

I Totally agree.

We are talking school age kids here and not toddlers.

Gererally speaking school age kids should be able tolerate a balanced diet. Age 6 - 16

When I said sweet, I was not rererring to a handful goody goody or bazooka but meant a dessert of some sort, which could be a yougurt, mini biscuits, jelly or something.

Those of us that pack school dinners on a daily basis know that our offsping somethines ask for a particular sweet not because they intend eating it but because Amy or John has it in his lunch box & these things sometimes change on a weekly basis.

The teachers make the kids eat the healthy food first and the not so healthy food last, buy which point the kids want to go out and play so most times my daughter brings back home her sweet and we could end up recycling a kit kat finger for 2 weeks!


I would rather refer to those as desert then, or "forest"
