breakfast: oatmeal, banana, soymilk, green salad w.salsa for dressing

lunch: bean burrito (veggie beans, tortilla), green salad, apple, corn

dinner: hummus sandwich, orange, baby carrots

dessert: 5 hershey's kisses

and I don't like snacks.

I've been eating Grape Nuts for breakfast and I eat black beans or pintos for lunch or dinner.  every day.   I drink kefir almost every day.

everything else changes,  I just bought a bunch of meats so I don't burn out on beans or chicken.  I also keep different frozen fruits for my kefir smoothies.

hmm breakfast i dont usually eat , lunch either whole wheat bread wor wraps with turkey / roast beef and a low cal cheese , and dinnr - tilapia fillets with a veggie and eitehr 1/3 cup of mashed potatoes or 2/3 cups rice :) and snacks ( fruit , cottage cheese , or popcorn )

oh and to drink .. water water and more water lol with dinner then diet a&w root beer or diet dr pepper ( caffeine free ) or kool aid with splenda :)

I always have yogurt as my after dinner snack!

Breakfast- usually cereal with fruit, but if I have time I'll make an egg white omelet with some veggies and a bit of cheese. If I'm really short on time, I'll have a carnation instant breakfast.

Lunch- varies depending on what I've cooked lately, but I always have some kind of vegetable and a fruit as well.

Dinner- varies a lot! been looking up a lot of really good recipes, I always include a veggie and some protein though.

Snacks- string cheese, pretzles (I LOVE sourdough nibblers!), fruit, rice cakes

I also always have coffee every morning, and while I've switched from half and half to skim milk (VERY hard for me to do!), I still put raw sugar in it ! One step at a time!

Varies a bit, but there are definitely some staples in there such as: grapefruit for breakfast, lots of turkey sandwiches on whole wheat bread, protein meal bars, and i only drink water....other than that i mix it up a lot.

ALWAYS oatmeal and fruit for breakfast.
toast and fruit for lunch
 tomatoes, and veggies with dinner.
cereal and instant hot chocolate for supper.

lately i've been eating oatmeal a LOT. not just for breakfast, also for a snack and sometimes for dinner :) also cream of wheat with blackberry jelly mixed in.

breakfast: protein pancake (see recipe on CC) with better 'n peanut butter & sugar-free syrup

during day (not really "lunch"--more like "multiple snacks"): two pieces of fruit, fat-free greek yogurt, home-made low-fat energy bar

at night: anyone's guess. my favorite meals involve a mix of lean meats & veggies or lentils/beans. also, usually 6-8 ounces red wine and probably a piece of dark chocolate. yum. unfortunately, my boyfriend lives on delicious bread from the local co-op so I usually have a piece of that too...sigh. night usually does me in.

btw: I'm not sure why you're asking this, but I'll say that this routine is keeping me at a good weight (I'm 5'6 and 127), but it is decidedly *not* putting me at my goal of 120.

I wake up about 7am and eat 4 or 5 green seedless grapes. I repeat this about every half-hour until around 11am. Then I have a Dannon no-fat vanilla, orange mango or cherry vanilla yogurt.

Between 12-1pm it's 3/4 cup cooked white, long grain rice prepared using no-sodium/no-fat chicken broth powder. I cook it with a sliced ring of sweet red bell pepper chopped. I melt in a slice of Smart Beat fake american cheese, add 1/4 cup of 'I Can't Believe It's Not Butter' liquid from the spray bottle and a packet of VIGO Spanish flavoring/seasoning stirred in. Sometimes I'll add in some flavored ground beef or some diced smoked Canadian bacon.. about 2 Tbsp, or just 6-8 shakes of Cholula hot sauce.

Around 2pm I fix a low-sodium ham sandwich on multi-grain bread with yellow mustard and a side of salt-free/cholesterol-free kettle potato chips and a glass of instant tea with Splenda.

Another yogurt at 3pm and several grapes every 20 minutes or so until 6 or 7pm, then another ham sandwich or rice deal with an orange for dessert. Then I just snack on grapes and salted pistachios every hour or so until bedtime.

That's the basics. Some days I squeeze in some prepared Healthy Choice entrees for dinner.. like grilled chicken with roasted red peppers and garlic in a balsamic vinegar sauce over pasta... or grilled chicken margarita with broccoli & pasta.. mmmm.

I'm hungry again...

 i've been wanting to try that. is it filling for the amount of cals used up?

breakfast- fiber one with unsweetened almond breeze or oatmeal, blackberries or strawberries if we have them. Illy espresso, green tea, or lately sugarfree RedBull(badbadbad) b/c I study the night before really late

lunch- a few pieces of this ready-made macrobiotic vegan sushi I live on, or a bag of soy crisps( I have a lot of small meals-small stomach)

snacks are generally berries, apples occasionally, edamame, soy crisps, air-popped popcorn, Tzu-the T bars

veggies-portobella mushrooms, baby spinach with red wine vinegar, zucchini mostly

dinner-something like edamames in short grain brown rice, I have dance after

I have honey nearly everyday - I know it's full of sugar, but it keeps me going.

Oh, and I also have a glass of orange juice nearly everyday, and at least one apple.

I'm a sugar freak. But I'm just starting out, gimme a break!! At least I'm not chowing down on biscuits and crisps anymore....

Lentils. I live on lentils.

And fruit, oatmeal, boiled eggs and peanut butter.

optimum power high fibre cereal with boiled chocolate milk is very fulfilling for brunch on weekends abt 400cals

yoghurt is very fine in the morning but not advised to have it after dinner because it ruins the digestive system, not right away but gradually

protein, all sort of, but basically meat like beef, turkey and duck are my favourite for both lunch and dinner, and of course with veggies

soup, water type is very fulfilling but also very low in calories, i have soup before any meal except breakfast, because i just cant eat in the morning

i am allergic to pollen and any kind of fruit with seeds-in so i dont always have fruit but still i weigh 52kg which is good enough for 170cm body and i am a part-time model ^________^

oh plus have dark chocolate, very good for both skin and diet, high in calories but still very very good and i am almost addicted

I eat a cup of Fiber One cereal with a box of Sun-maid Raisins in the cereal with skim milk everday for breakfast for almost 300 calories.  I love it so much I could eat it for every meal I think.

i eat different things for lunch and dinner everyday, but breakfast is ALWAYS basically the same; a whole grapefruit (red or white), an organic whole milk yogurt (banana, apple-pear or strawberry), an omelet made with 2 egg whites and 1-2 organic eggs and somedays a light hot-chocolate.
