Need some meal ideas

jenklausy24

What does everyone eat for meals and snacks? I need some new healthy meal plans...breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks? Any advice would help! Running out of ideas...

Apples and peanut butter
Hummus and veggies
Popcorn
Hard boiled eggs
Nuts
Quest bars
For meals, eat what you always do, only in a deficit.

I often eat Greek yogurt for breakfast. Sometimes with prunes or fresh fruit. Sometimes I eat cereal, a sandwich, a granola bar or leftovers. I had leftover pasta and vegetables for breakfast today.
Lunch is usually a sandwich or leftovers. Today I plan to have a spinach salad with chicken, hard boiled egg, tomato and ranch dressing for lunch.
I generally have something different for dinner every day but not really "diet" food. Last night dinner was eggs, toast, and vegetables. Tonight is chili. Tomorrow is probably going to be a chicken spinach lasagna.
I frequently have popcorn for a snack. Carrots, fruit, trail mix, cheese or a granola bar are also common snacks for me. I don't eat a lot of sweets but occasionally have chocolate, cookies, cake or ice cream.

Last night I had a 112g (4 oz) turkey patty (patty I formed and froze, not the pre-flavored ones) on a toasted whole wheat english muffin with 50g avocado, thin onion slice, lettuce, ultra thin cheddar slice (leave off if calories too much since you can't really taste it) and a tablespoon of bbq sauce. It was the best burger I've had in awhile and it fit my macros beautifully.

My current snack or meal I'm addicted to is 1 or 2 toasted corn tortillas with 45g refried beans (on each) and 20g plain yogurt (again each) Either hot sauce or fresh diced hot pepper, onion and lettuce. Every day lately lol

Eta : on the tortillas a poached or fried egg would boost the protein - I do that sometimes for breakfast
