    I'm set at 1700 and my diary is open. Some days I eat around 1200 instead so I can eat (well... drink) more at the weekend, but that's my average. A quick sample day looks something like this:

    Breakfast: coffee with regular creamer, couple of eggs scrambled or fried with just a touch of cooking spray, light English muffin or side of fruit OR an egg sandwich on a light muffin with Laughing Cow cheese and fried ham OR cottage cheese with fruit and preserves.

    Lunch: big salad of greens, tomatoes, cucumber, and 6oz chicken, dressed with tarragon vinegar or a Litehouse dressing OR a quinoa salad over greens with a side of chicken or tuna.

    Snacks: piece of fruit, veggie chips or SnaPea crisps, string cheese.

    Dinner: big stir-fry of veggies and chicken or pork OR can of soup with veggies added OR a roast and veggies OR some kind of finger food like spring rolls (chicken, quinoa, and veggies) with a side of more vegetables.

    Extras: beer or mixed drinks three or four times a week.
