I'm the pickiest eater ever....

Just do as you say and "pick out" the foods you like and don't like . Then, find a way to make the foods you need taste better without too many added calories.

Make the granola stuff yourself!

Of the stuff listed, the fruit is the ONLY clean eating you are doing. Everything else listed is processed.
I know you say you getting out of "this house" is what will change, but why? Where you live has NOTHING to do with what you put in your mouth unless maybe you are in prison. Please explain WHY these are the only foods you can eat and perhaps we can help you find other, more nutritious things to try that fit the bill you are looking for. Like is there no fridge or freezer? We can work around this. Just give us guidelines so we can help you:-)

Yo.... just wait til your metabolism starts to slow down.... you're gonna get fat as *kitten*! Best to start those healthy eating habits now. Eat a damn salad with some grilled chicken! Stay away from the processed crap.... like granola bars.

do you talk to your wife daughter or mother with that mouth... you sound like somehting out of jersey shore *shudders*

Hahahahaha

Kashi Dark Chocolate and Coconut chewy granola bar 120 cals

Kashi Go Lean Berry Crumble cereal (mixed with) Kashi Good Friends cereal (1/2 cup each)

Remember that fruits do have a lot of sugar... try to get some good protein in your diet.

You will do what you want but, speaking from experience, you will regret it if you don't rethink the way you eat and the way you think about food. Educate yourself then decide.

Once you hit a certain age your body stops helping you fight off the fast food effect and you are left on your own and getting bigger faster and feeling worse faster and the longer that goes on, the harder it is to diet and work out because you don't feel good.
Good luck girl : ) it took me like a year to rethink and restructure my diet and I already knew what I was supposed to be doing...

Is there a place where you live where you could take a cooking class or something? It will be cheaper for you to try new things if you can cook it yourself, so try learning the basics. Also: bulk bins are your friend. If you've got a Whole Foods or something around you, the cheapest place there is usually the bulk bins, and you can get good granolas already made, oats and other grains, lentils, beans, etc. Sometimes you can even get spices in the bulk bins.

As for healthy things for picky eaters - try adding one new good food every week or so to see how you like it, like switching out french fries for baked sweet potato fries. Just cut them into french fry shapes, toss in olive oil and salt and pepper, and baked in a 375 oven for about 30-45 min (depending on how thick you cut the fries - I like them thick). You can eat them plain, or I like to dip them in the Bolthouse yogurt ranch dressing.

Try switching out hamburgers made with 80/20 chuck for turkey burgers - put them on whole wheat buns and don't use mayo.

If you want to eat pizza, get a personal sized Amy's pizza or something where the crust is whole wheat and you're limited to portion size.

For chicken nuggets, try buying grilled chicken strips that are already cut and cooked and frozen. You can thaw them and throw them on a salad, or eat them with something like sweet potato fries.

For chocolate cravings, buy a really dark high percentage cocoa chocolate (like 70% or higher). Your chocolate cravings will go away after a lot less chocolate with this stuff than milk chocolate.

You can eat crap food every once in a while as long as you budget it into your calories. Like there's no way I'm giving up shrimp and grits. Ever. I only do them every once in a while, but I plan for it ahead of time and make the real deal with cheese and butter, and it's super satisfying.

Are you unable to change your diet because your parents do the shopping?? Maybe you could talk with them about buying somethings that would be better for you. And I know you're just a teenager but are you able to get a job? Maybe you could work part time to buy yourself the foods you want and need. Good luck hun.

No one's as picky as my son. He is 11 and skinny but not healthy. What child do you know that doesn't eat any dips or condiments. He has never liked ketchup. I had to convince him once to dip an apple wedge into caramel. He has finally recently started to get braver with trying new things. He won't eat cooked carrots but, he likes them raw.

Just try new things and if in the case of vegetables if you don't like it cooked, try it raw (or vice versa). Start with little substitutions like instead of potato chips, eat pretzels, Instead of soda pop try carbonated flavored water or orange juice. You can get yourself into healthier foods if you do it slowly by substituting something bad for you to something meh... okay but not good and then eventually to something good and healthy.

If you've been eating unhealthy for all your life then you will not likely be successful if you try to make a drastic change. But, gradual changes can become lifetime changes.

Are you eating salad ? hmmm jk

Hell no!!! I eat 2 double bacon cheeseburgers with a diet coke for every meal!!!

I used to be you, eating wise, although I'm much shorter, older and was quite a bit heavier. My weird pickiness has been aggravated by dealing with way too many food allergies as well.

I do eat some veggies now, of course. What I have done over the years that worked is 1) pick out one veggie you think you don't like and try it. Try it prepared several ways. I learned to like carrots, for example, over time and now I love love love them. Also, 2) cook foods that have veggies in the ingredients but also other things you know you like in the recipe as well. For example, I regularly make a very healthy jambalaya and have got in the habit over the years of including more and more veggies with the chicken breasts and low fat turkey sausage. The veggies in there include celery, onions, bell pepper, and carrots. The original recipe calls for 4 cups total. These days I make it with 14 cups of chopped veggies but use the same amount of meat I always did.

FYI, due to an allergy, I never eat salad. Weight can still come off without eating salad. You just have to not eat so many calories in total. Neither, due to another allergy, do I drink diet colas (except one brand I can tolerate, but I don't drink it often). Diet colas and salad are not the key to changing your body. Of course, I gave up sugared colas years ago and don't miss them at all.
