What are your staple meals?

cwolfman13

Breakfast is most often scrambled eggs and chicken breakfast sausage...oatmeal a couple days per week

Lunch is usually leftovers from dinner...like last night we had chicken thighs so I just made a bunch of extra for a couple days worth of lunches. I had mine today chopped up in a spinach salad.

Dinner always varies. In winter, more soups and stews. It's becoming very spring like now, so different grilled proteins with some kind of veg and starch or grain. If I'm cutting weight I usually skip the starch or grain in the evening. Grilling pork tenderloin tonight with asparagus...baked salmon tomorrow with broccoli.

Taco meat .. ground turkey w/kidney beans or beef with salsa and corn - both freeze well and can be added in wraps, salads and eggs dishes :-)

Ground Turkey with taco seasoning, rice and lentils or black beans. Can top with salsa ,fat free sour cream and avocado if you like. High in protein low in saturated fat. Not extremely high in calories

Breakfast is nearly always low fat greek yoghurt with sugar free almond granola and fresh or frozen berries with fresh coffee.
Lunch is usually a salad with some protein - fish or eggs or chicken.
Dinner is whatever family is having without the bulky carbs, with a glass of wine at weekends.
Snacks are usually fruit or veg but sometimes popcorn or lentil or potato chips or crispy seaweed.

I usually eat one or two meals per day--usually skipping breakfast and lunch and having a big dinner w/dessert and/or a late night snack. I usually have some kind of yummy exotic teas for breakfast and lunch and the type of foods I eat for dinner are usually so-called "comfort" foods and/or something utterly delightful, which usually has meat/seafood, lots of veggies and fruits. I don't keep/put myself in a box about meals/times of meals. I eat whatever I want to, whenever I want to...just much smaller portions and/or less frequently thru-out the day. I don't and refuse to eat "diet type of foods and meals". I like to eat and eat GOOD, all the time, again just NOT as much (eating much smaller portions and/or not eating frequently thru the day (a.k.a. I don't snack and/or eat all day and night anymore) like I did when I was obese and overweight.

For breakfast I almost always eat 2 eggs scrambled together with a huge pile of spinach and black beans. It's like a meal in one pan with protein, veg and carbs and takes like 3 minutes to make. I throw 1/2 a cup of frozen berries, a kiwi, another 2 cups of spinach, ground flax seeds, and water in the blender and drink that with it as my morning "juice". Again super easy and gets a lot of my needed nutrients in. Dinner is usually a rice and bean based dish or soup, or fish/tofu, with roasted veggies - almost always sweet potatoes and either brocolli or cauliflower. Whatever I eat for dinner I usually quick sautee up some spinach with garlic on the side (I obviously eat a LOT of spinach).Lunch is dinner leftovers, maybe with a chopped up avocado on the side, and ALWAYS a carrot. Maybe sounds boring, but it's all the foods I like to eat so works for me. I actually think most people are pretty boring with their day to day meals.

I go through stages with breakfast, right now I'm having a protein drink in my cold brew, wait a few hours, then have steel cut oatmeal with flaxseed, chia seed, apple, half serving of yogurt, cashew milk, and cinnamon. Lunch is a large salad with lots of vegetables, tuna chicken or beans/lentils, and usually one of a bunch of Bolthouse dressings. Dinner varies but usually roasted vegetables and salmon or chicken, turkey taco meat, soups, stews, or chili.
