Question: What is the best breakfast and lunch ideas for teenagers (girls) to gain maximum height and growth..?
Answers:
It's great that you recognize the importance of eating breakfast! Eating breakfast will help ensure you're eating sufficient calories and obtaining all of the nutrients you need for growth.

For breakfast, try:
- A whole grain bagel or a few slices of whole-grain toast with cheese or a tablespoon of peanut butter, and a piece of fruit or glass of orange juice
-a bowl of oatmeal (plain is best, as flavored oatmeal can be high in added sugar) with sliced banana and a glass of milk or soy milk
-One or two hard-boiled (ideally free-range) eggs with a few slices of whole-grain toast and a glass of tomato juice or low-sodium V8
-Two to three whole-grain waffles with a glass of milk or soy milk and a piece of fruit such as a banana, apple or orange
-Smoked salmon on whole-grain rye bread with a dollop of plain yogurt or cream cheese and a little dill or chives sprinkled on top

For lunch, how about:
-A sandwich made with whole-grain pita bread and hummus, a sandwich bag filled with sliced carrot sticks and cherry tomatoes, an orange or apple, and a healthy snack (perhaps homemade trail mix made with dried fruit, almonds or peanuts, and some whole-grain, low-sugar cereal such as Cheerios or Chex, or a Lara bar)
-A baked potato with protein (cottage cheese, beans or tuna) and a big salad
-Vegetarian chili with a sweet potato and string-cheese
-Vegetable soup with a turkey sandwich on whole-grain bread, an apple and a handful of almonds

A few words of caution: First, I'm not a nutritionist, so you ideally should talk to your school nurse or doctor (GP) to ensure you're eating enough calories and getting the right nutrients. Generally speaking, though, you'll need to ensure that you're eating three good meals a day, with healthy snacks in between, and a good mix of whole grains, proteins like beans and fish, lots of fruits and vegetables, and 'good' fats from nuts, olive oil, avocado and fish.

Calcium is also very important, so try fortified orange juice in the morning and if you don't like dairy, eat lots of leafy, green vegetables, dried figs and almonds, and consider taking a supplement as well.

also, while good nutrition can help you reach your ideal height and weight, there is a genetic component to height as well, so you don't have full control. Alas, I failed to inherit my dad's height as I had hoped and took after my very petite mother instead!Health Question & Answer

Radioactive waffles. Just kidding. Really how much you grow is in your genes. But for overall health and wellness you should eat all natural whole foods whenever possible. Stay away from refined surgars and carbs.Health Question & Answer

You need a diet rich in protein, dairy and foods with amino acids in them to grow. You also need leafy green veggies to keep your skin healthy.
