How do we design our meals?
What do you have for your meals?

1 whole wheat English muffin
1 hard boiled egg
1/2 cup fat free Greek yogurt with 1/2 cup of fresh strawberries
Lunch
- Here's an example of a simple healthy lunch:Whole wheat pita with 3 oz. turkey breast, one slice reduced fat Swiss cheese and mustard
Side salad with Romaine lettuce, tomato, olive oil and red wine vinegar
Dinner
- Here's an example of a simple, healthy dinner:4 oz. flank steak seasoned with herbs and spices like parsley, black pepper and cumin
1 cup steamed broccoli and carrots with olive oil and lemon juice
1/2 cup whole wheat spaghetti with tomato sauce
Snacks
- Here are some examples of some healthy snacks you can enjoy:6 whole grain crackers with 2 tbsp. hummus
1 piece of string cheese
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1 palm full of almonds
1 apple with almond butter dip
Drinks
- Drink at least 8-oz. glasses of water every day. Avoid sugary sodas and juices.
- It's time for you to design a healthy eating plan and share it with your friends. Your teachers and your friends may give you some comments after you share your eating plans.

Countable and uncountable nouns
Countable Nouns

Countable nouns are easy to recognize. They are things that we can count. For example: "apple". We can count apples. We can have one, two, three or more appples.
Here are some more countable nouns:
apple, orange, banana, pear
dog, cat, animal, man, person
Countable nouns can be singular or plural:
The apple is sweet.
The apples are sweet.
We can use the indefinite article a/an with countable nouns:
A grape is a fruit.
A dog is an animal.
When a countable noun is singular, we must use a word like a/an/the/my/this with it:
I want a pear.
I want an orange. (not I want orange.)
Where is the bottle? (not Where is bottle?)
Where is my bottle?
When a countable noun is plural, we can use it alone:
I like oranges.
Bottles can break.
We can use some and any with countable nouns:
I've got some graps.
Is there any grapes?

Uncountable Nouns
Uncountable nouns are things that we cannot "count" them. For example, we cannot count "milk". We can count "bottles of milk" or "litres of milk", but we cannot count "milk" itself. Here are some more uncountable nouns:
- rice, sugar, butter, water, cheese, bread
We usually treat uncountable nouns as singular. We use a singular verb. For example:
- This bread is very soft.
- Is there any rice?
We do not usually use the indefinite article a/an with uncountable nouns. We cannot say "an information" or "a music". But we can say a something of:
- a bottle of water
- a grain of rice
We can use some and any with uncountable nouns:
- I've got some tea.
- Have you got any rice?
We can use a little and much with uncountable nouns:
- I've got a little money.
- I haven't got much rice.
