Is this a healthy lunch/snack?
Keep in mind that I would be taking this to school.
Lunch
*Turkey/chicken and cheese on wheat bread with some mayo and a lot of lettuce and tomatoes
*Fruit, about 1/2 to 1 serving
*Some kind of veggie, maybe carrots, celery, sweet peppers or cucumbers, about 1/2 to 1 serving
*Quinoa, koos koos or brown rice (a healthy seed/grain), about 1 serving
*Thermos of water
*Occasionally a sugar free sweet treat
Snack
*Hummus or tahini (sesame) sauce
*Healthy dipping chips, veggies or nuts
*Thermos of water
Oh, I also wanted to ask if that was too many grains or too little veggies. Also, feel free to add, take away or change any items on my menu!

Yeah its hard going to school and still being able to eat clean because you have to have your food with you pretty much all the time because out in town its difficult to find healthy foods. I think your list of foods is good. Have a bit of food after every 2 hours and that would help you sleed up your metabolism. You could add a bit more protein if you can and maybe take out the "healthy" chips but all in all its really good

Grains aren't healthy, so you can't pack a 'healthy grain'. Grains spike insulin levels which not only makes you eat more, it makes you hungrier later and promotes fat storage. A nut bread is healthier, aka bread made from almond meal. Mayo is okay, but try to keep it lite. Seeds are very healthy, I would suggest bringing sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds etc. Chips are also not healthy, many are made from corn, which is a grain, and they are highly processed. Veggies are a way better option for hummus. Nuts are great too. Overall it's good, just ditch the unhealthy grains and replace them.
