MFP allows me for 1400 calories. My breakfasts are pretty much the same 30g of gluten free cornflakes, 2 tablespoons of alpro plain yogurt, 100ml semi skim milk and berries. Snacks,bananas, rice cakes or a handful of mixed nuts. Lunch,boiled egg and either gluten free bagel,thins or bread with dairy free spread. Dinner lean meat or fish, veg and either rice, potatoes (sweet or normal) or gluten free pasta. Drinks, water or decaff tea. Treats 3 squares of chocolate. I need a fairly low fibre diet.0

OP: Feel free to peruse my diaries for the past year.
I have evolved somewhat in that time. My GF and I have been heavily influenced by Michael Pollan's work, as well as the Whole30 protocol, so we try our best to create meals that are 2 to 5 servings of veggies, a palm-sized protein serving, and one or two servings of healthy fats.
My breakfasts are typically eggs, maybe some bacon, and either veggies in the eggs, or on the side, or a serving or two of fruit.
Lunch is usually a large salad of raw greens and assorted veggies, homemade dressings, and a serving of meat.
Dinner could be a similar meal to lunch, or at this time of year we tend to eat more winter vegetables, which we roast in a little oil and herbs - sweet potatoes, beets, turnips, parsnips, carrots, squash, Brussel sprouts, etc. - with a serving of meat and some healthy fats.
Snacks range from unsalted nuts (roasted or raw), Larabars (in MODERATION), fruit, mostly berries, once in a while a half-ounce of dark chocolate, olives, Epic meat bars...
Drinks are limited to morning black coffee, filtered water (home and office), herbal teas, and an occasional La Croix sparkling water. I have been known to indulge in a glass of good Merlot or Cabernet once in a while, at parties.
Supplements:
Garden Of Life Men's Formula
Nordic Naturals Fish Oil (2000 mg)
Jarrow vitamin D (2500 IU)
Natural Factors 12/12 probiotic
Rainbow Light Calcium/Magnesium (600/300 mg)
GNC vitamin C (1000 mg)
GNC Turmeric (750 mg)

Vegetables
Salad with a variety of vegetables (I usually do green leaf lettuce, arugula, grated carrots, grated beets, sliced mushrooms, zucchini and a home made Balsamic with a sprinkling of either Parmesan or Bleu Cheese)
