Hi help me balance my meals?

The dietition said it is important to balance every one of my meals.
For breakfast I included everything from the food pyrimid,except for the vegetables group. The dietitian mentioned that people usually don't eat vegetables for breakfast so it was okay as long as i included vegetables in my other meals.Today's Breakfast: 2 Slices of wheat bread topped with cinamin and syrup-grain group
1 egg scrambled-meat group
Kellog cereal 3/4 a cup with raisins-grain group/fruit group
Apple-fruit group
So For lunch i plan to have a tuna sandwhich with lettuce onion and well i'm out of tomatos so just lettuce and onion- Grain group, Bit of vegetable group and meat/protein group
I plan to include a fruit too but i still need more vegetables... does anyone have an idea on how to balance my meals.
I'm recovering from an eating disorder and welll, now i feel good when i eat but i only worry about balancing. also how many cups of vegies am i supposed to be eating i'm 15 years old girl tn

Hi try V-8, regular. (mostly b/c the low sodium kind is gross) but I find it good %26 low fat plus you get more vegatables without the feeling of having to "eat" them.

Eat as many cups of veggies as you want. Baby carrots, celery with peanut butter, cut up red pepper and hummus, salads, green beans, snow peas, etc all make good snacks and sides throughout the day. As long as the veggies don't have a lot of sauces or other additives, you should enjoy as many servings as you find throughout your day. you can also use lettuce leaves in place of the bread in a tuns sandwich. wrap bites of tuns salad in the lettuce and enjoy. super crunchy and delish. you could also toss some veggies in your eggs at breakfast and make an omlet. broccoli, tomato, spinach, corn, onion, etc. good luck! congrats on taking care of yourself!!
