And how long does it take take cook meat, it really doesn't take long, not compared with time to cook veg or carbs.

Chicken is comparble to salmon, 100 grams chicken (skinless): 31 grams protein, 4 grams fat, 2 grams sat fat. Salmon (Atlantic): 19 grams protein, 11 grams fat (admitedly they will be EFA), 2 grams sat fat.
Veg only take a few minutes if stir fried, little oil, use broth if more fluid is needed during cooking (only a little to produce moisture to basically steam the dish); make sure veg is cut into thin strips; you have a meal in one, and get to hone skills that will impress the girls at the same time.

They usually suggest that you go for the entire colour of the rainbow where veg are concerned: so yellow (peppers, sweetcorn), orange (carrot), green (broccoli), white (cauliflower)...etc...obviously not all in the one meal, two or three veg a meal is usually suggested, and try to keep portions balanced; put sensible amounts of veg in the dish. If you ask your parent to show you how to stir fry, or check up a recipe on the internet, and the instructions, that will leave you room to adapt all your dishes, and they will all be healthy and quick, and then go from there.

Oh and, cool that you're learning to cook, it will put you in full control of your meals, and it does get easier.

I don't think either method is better, but the stir fry seems to retain more flavour...and we got rid of our microwave years ago, so everything is fresher. A microwave is useful for haeating things up, when in a hurry, but you can soon become over dependant on it, and then end up eating microwave meals...which is not so healthy.
