Lunch box???????????

Question

what should i put in it for a 15 year old

Answer 1

I agree with most of the answers.  You should be asking him/her what they want in their lunch, then make him/her prepare it.  However, I bought my lunch in high school.  No one ever brought their lunch.

Answer 2

Most 15-year-olds buy lunch or just ask them they aren't 5 anymore

Answer 3

You ask him what he wants and go from there....

Answer 4

a 15 year old should be making his own

Answer 5

he should be making his own. so ask him what he wants and buy it for him, and he can prepare it.  provided he eats a good breakfast, he should have a main course like a sandwich/wrap/left-overs, some veggies + dip like carrots, brocolli, cherry tomatoes, or peppers (whatever he chooses), a fruit like grapes, banana... whatever he likes, something sweet/filling (but nothing too junky like chocolate bars) try granola bars, homemade muffin/cookies, or cereal bars.  A juice box and a bottle of water.

Answer 6

With a 15-year-old I would be talking to them about what makes a healthy meal, and allow them to select (and make) their own lunch as long as it's nutritionally balanced.  So make sure they know they need a protein food, a carb, and a fruit or veggie without a lot of sugar or salt, and then as long as it meets those requirements it should be up to them.

Answer 7

Ummmmm... 15 year olds are SUPPOSED to make their own considering they would be a SOPHOMORE whoever it is should grow up! and not use a lunch box for crying out loud! get rid of those by 5th grade.

Answer 8

Same stuff as for younger kids only get the larger boxes from the store of chips; cookies; crackers; whatever; and put as many as he/she will probably eat in ziplocs rather than getting individual sacks.

You can put greens; tomatoes; cucumbers; in a little gladware container then have a tiny container of dressing plus snack size ziploc with croutons and bacon bits to put on at the time of eating. To make it a full meal you can put in strips of cheese and lunchmeat and crumbs of hardboiled egg to make it a chef salad.

Wraps -- spread tortillas with cream cheese and put on lunchmeat; cheese; lettuce shreds with ranch dressing. You could make a Hawaiian one with ham; swiss; shredded pineapple.

Make up a container of egg; tuna; ham; chicken salad and include a ziploc of whole grain crackers for dipping or a knife for spreading.

One day or weekend you can make up lots of loaves of banana; pumpkin; zucchini bread -- slice and freeze. Then you can throw a slice or two of that in as well for more nutrition and yumminess.

Leftover roast mixed with mashed potatoes OR spaghetti and sauce; OR mac&cheese OR chili warmed up in the morning and put in a thermos container.

Cereal bars

Clean and reuse water bottles. Freeze a bottle overnight and put it in for cold refreshing ice water at noon.

Works for Crystal light; iced tea; the occasional kool-aid also -- at least it will hydrate them.

Put chocolate milk in the freezer for an hour right before they leave for school -- it should stay cold until lunch.

This way they have it out of a gallon container or whatever instead of paying $0.50 a half pint which is what milk will cost at my kids` school this year.

Answer 9

lunch money   lol

Answer 10

they would probably  prefer to buy lunch.

Answer 11

In ours (for ages 7- 14) we include - crisps and a small biscuit bar (ie kitkat, penguin) a piece of fruit and a snack box of raisens, a sandwich or filled pitta bread (we use the 50/50 bread so the kids cant complain about brown bread which they hate and i dont feel bad for giving them white bread which I hate them having) and a yogurt (either a pot or a frube - those ones in a tube so you dont have to bother with spoons).  We also include a bottle of sugar free juice or water.  The younger primary school kids also get some money to buy milk at school if they wish too.

Answer 12

crisps , drink, chocolate bar ,apple and maybe a a healthy sandwhich,salad or cheeese anything really =]

Answer 13

Nothing. A 15 year old should br packing his/her own lunch.
