[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who has time for all of this? When I saw the study, I thought through our family eating habits and I just don't even know where to start - my kids eat cereal or oatmeal or toast (store bought bread) for breakfast. Then for lunch, they take a sandwich - usually with storebought bread and either storebought jam or peanut butter or cheese. They also may take store bought popcorn, or a fruit roll up or a store bought cookie. Maybe store bought hummus and crackers for dipping. For dinner, we have store bought pasta sometimes - I will make my own sauce but I don't have time to do that all the time (and don't suggest making a huge batch - I have 4 kids to feed, I'd have to have an entire freezer to keep it in!)

And then they have ice cream or maybe make a store bought cake on the weekends and eat that for dessert. On the weekends, they eat fast food. And don't even get me started on snacks.

Literally every meal has some element of super processed foods in it. My kids seem healthy enough, play sports, get good grades. Can someone post their no-super processed foods meal plan? [/quote]

I have teen boys so they eat more than usual.

Here are some things they might have that are l relatively easy

Breakfast:

Smoothie with frozen fruit, whole milk Greek yogurt, handful of spinach

and one of the following

Scrambled eggs and toast made with bakery bread
Bakery toast with peanut butter
Oatmeal with peanut butter and other stuff added in

Snack

I totally understand when you say there is not enough time, small changes can help. A few month back I got by 10 and 12 yr old on better eating track, breakfast options;

Steel cut coats with little maple syrup, walnuts and half cup of fresh berries.

Mashed avocado on bakery sourdough bread with a fried egg on top.

Boiled eggs with a cup of banana, strawberries and blueberries.

Cheese omelette with a cup of banana and orange slices.

Vanilla yogurt with granola and a cup of fresh berries

Once in a while they eat plain bagel with cream cheese + cup of fresh fruit.

No cereal, only bakery sourdough bread.

I am spending a lot on berries but honestly it’s 1/3 of what I was spending on takeout.
