Although I have a lunch with a banker coming up at a great seafood place, so I plan on letting loose a little5

Usually yogurt or cottage cheese with fruit or veg.
Usually around 300cals with 25-30 protein.
Usually aim for 1600 cals a day.
5'1 maintaining at 100-105lbs for 8 yr.
Above is usually because it is not written in stone, I can also skip lunch or have a huge lunch out.
Cheers, h.4 -
Lately I've been having
1 builder bar (270 calories, 20 g protein)
beef jerky (100 calories, 17 g protein)
a piece of fruit (80 calories)
This is my lazy lunch that my dietician despises but she'd prefer I eat something rather than skipping. I'm supposed to be adding in an additional 200 calories. It'll most likely be in the form of protein powder.
I'm female, 5 foot 9, 133 lbs. Total calories are supposed to be at 2500.1 -
loaded smoothie! my job involves a lot of running around and unpredictability so it works for me.
generally has protein powder, yoghurt, berries or banana, spinach, other supplements (collagen, fish oil, greens powder) . some days I amp it up with cocoa powder and cacao nibs. 250-400 calories depending1 -
I usually have leftovers from last night's dinner. Macros are all over the place.2
-
Breakfast : porridge : granola (300kcal) + 1 banana (100kcal) =400kcal
Snack : 1 banana (100kcal)
Lunch : Boiled sweet potato (about 350kcal) and gravy (87kcal). =437kcal
Snack : lettuce (20kcal) with salad dressing (35kcal)
Dinner: soup : water, coconut milk, vegetables, tikka massala sauce, a bit of some meat ( around 330kcal)
Female, 5'10, 188lbs, daily total around 1322kcal
If I work out (which I do most days), that will be around +500kcal, that's usually a steak or some craving (fruits, crisps, sorbert or sour candy)

That’s my salad meal. Spinach cucumber tomato half an avocado and some kind of protein light salad dressing2
-
Macros? Heck, I dunno. I have a protein shake because I want protein. I have a slice of bread and a little piece of banana for lunch. My lunch varies slightly during the week and the macros are never identical from one day to the next.1
-
A cup of beef broth with 85grams of spinach, 50 grams of mushroom. On the side, 300grams of egg whites. I've had it for 3 weeks straight.
51p/2f/8c 250 calories
I've been eating this while cutting, or while at maintenance of 1800-1900 per day.4 -
white bean, turkey sausage, kale, onion, diced tomato, and chicken broth soup2

PB&J with a banana 540 88C/18F/12P
During bulking I just make 2 sandwiches3 -
I never eat the same thing for breakfast, lunch or dinner so I can't say. But I try to balance my fats, carbs and protein the best I can because I do better in the afternoon and with my workouts with an equal or higher amount of protein to carbs. My macros are set at 35% carbs and prot. and 30% fats.
Very short, very old female in maintenance for almost 8 years; I set my own calories to 1350.
Note: maybe if I was cooking for myself I would eat the same thing few days in a row (not always), but since I cook for my husband too, I need to change things around to avoid boredom at the kitchen table.3 -
During the school week I usually eat a couple fried eggs from Jack in the box for breakfast and a grilled Artisian chicken fillet (just the meat) and a hot Apple pie from McDonald's for lunch. Generally save the rest for a bigger dinner.1

Monday though Friday my lunches are ALWAYS the same, mostly because it's easy, filling, and delish.
1 cup of full-fat Greek yogurt and mix it with some Hidden Valley ranch seasoning(I get the container at BJ's, I don't use the little packets)
raw veg(celery, carrots, peppers, ect)
1 serving of Tyson chicken tenders(found in frozen foods)-I'll use the yogurt as dip and it's really satisfying
I'll then pack a serving of flaming hot Cheetos for a snack. Fills me right up until dinnertime and I only have coffee for breakfast.1 -

I usually have turkey and cheese, or tuna fish or salmon on a flat-out flatbread. Some kind of vegetable, like baby carrots and Greek yogurt dip. Or maybe a little fruit cup of applesauce. My lunches typically are between 325 and 385 calories and I usually have somewhere between 25 to 30 grams of protein give or take a little.
