Can I ask what your current weight and height are?
We can provide you with some great healthy, filling and low-calorie lunches that you can make yourself, as well as alternative foods you can eat.
I think most people would not recommend "dieting", as that doesn't really work. You are on the right track, though, in trying to figure out what foods you can make for yourself. Would you be taking your lunches to school, and do you have access to a refrigerator, or does the meal need to be OK in a locker or classroom for several hours?
I'll write back later (and I'm sure you will receive more responses), but the best way to eat in a healthy manner, and feel full, is to eat fiber-rich foods which are fruits and vegetables. Are you eating the recommended 5 servings of produce every day? There are so many great options that taste great, are quick and easy to prepare. Another "trick" to eating healthy and feeling satisfied is to pair a protein and carb, and there are so many options to do this: beans and brown rice, hard-boiled egg and crackers, hummus and pita chips, peanut butter, crackers and apple, cheese and whole grain crackers, and more. Laslty, healthy fats can help keep you feeling full, and are great for your body. This can include a handful of nuts, or avocado on a turkey sandwich.
Do you do the grocery shopping in your household, or are you able to influence the shopping list?
