Perfect Macro Day? (prefer vegetarian but not req)

teacherbell

I love cooking, but I have found that left to my own devices my food is all over the place, mostly carb high and low protein. Anybody have a "perfect" macro day of meals they'd love to share? Ideally I'd like to shoot for about 1600 calories with a strong workout regiment from fitnessblender, but if your day has more or fewer calories I can adjust as necessary with different portion sizes or something. Protein shakes are acceptable but not required. I'd prefer to eat vegetarian, but that's not a hard set in stone rule since I have 5 other people in my family I provide for.

I just would love to see what somebody else's good macro day looks like. Thanks!

Vegetarian on 1200 cal net.
This is fairly spot on for my macro goals, although tend towards 70-90gm protein most days then over on fats or carbs. My diary is open if you want to see what I eat.

Sorry, I was probably unclear, I'm looking for like what you specifically ate that day to make a perfect macro day.

Stick to around 25% protein at the end of the day, with fat and carbs where you find they work best.

I log 4 meals plus a snack. My day starts around 4:30am, too busy to stop & eat while at work. Usually have home cooked meals in the evening. That particular day:
Breakfast & lunch: protein shakes
Snack: roasted seaweed & apple
Dinner: beet & farro salad with side of braised beet greens & mustard greens, a peach for dessert
Supper: Tomato, egg whites & smoked cheese on sprouted 7 grain toast. Pineapple spinach yogurt

Feel free to look at my diary if you're interested. Don't know if recipes can be viewed by others, but have logged several vegetarian/vegan ones I've made.
Highly recommend the cookbook "vegan under pressure" for quick easy vegan recipes. All based on pressure cooking, which is perfect for beans & grains Can always add animal to the dishes for rest of your family.

When I was vegetarian looked for protein and fat before I pre-logged each night for the next day:
tofu, chic peas, soy milk, eggs, peanuts, cheese, yogurt, split pea soup. I ate low carb vegetables like asparagus, mushrooms, cucumbers, snow peas, green beans, bell peppers, swiss chard, romaine, spinach.
In order to get enough protein, I skipped fruits most days.
