text: am i living a healthy lifestyle? i am 16, and am 5'8.5 , and weight around 154 pounds. i don't have a belly, as i am working on the abs. i only eat a small breakfast (usuallycereal), don't eat lunch, and then eat an average dinner (such as spaghetti). i am athletic, i play basketball. i drink too much 0% milk, water, and sometimes soda. i rarely eat fast -food nowadays. i was just wondering if i am living a healthy lifestyle. breakfast should ideally be the largest meal of the day to provide fuel for the day.  unfortunately in our current civilisation this rarely happens.  you should also eat 6 small meals a day, and many people, myself included, advise avoiding carbs after 4pm.  i would suggest eating a bigger breakfast, make sure you have a good healthy lunch, and have a small evening meal of grilled meat and salad or fish and salad.  when you skip meals, you body gears itself for famine and slows the metabolism, which is not what you want.  at your age, you can get away with it, but as you get older (and that happens to us all) you will find it harder.  develop great eating habits now and they will last you a lifetime.
