    Yeah, I started my diet that way and started to lose a little, but now I'm afraid to change it up. So, I really appreciate all the posts on this topic!

    Eat whatever you like as long as the portions fit into your daily calorie goal!

    Here's a typical day for me this week:
    Breakfast:
    Dunkin Donuts breakfast sandwich (egg white flatbread if I'm trying to keep calories low, bacon egg & cheese on bagel if I know I'm getting a good burn in that day) medium coffee with skim and 2 splenda

    Snack:
    Pure Protein chocolate peanut butter bar

    Lunch:
    leftovers from dinner or ham/turkey wrap and an apple

    Snack - grazing through the afternoon
    banana, greek yogurt and steel cut oatmeal with raisins

    Dinner:
    Casserole or meat and potatoes and veggie, sometimes pizza or thai food

    Hi...I recently joined and am starting to lose a little weight, however, I'm getting bored with my diet. I usually have a bowl of special k with almond milk and a cup of coffee for breakfast...an apple or yogurt for lunch..and then I eat dinner like I usually do. I limit myself to one soda a day (at supper) and the rest I drink flavored water. So, I was curious, what does everybody else eat?

    If you always eat the same thing, that would be boring indeed. And you seriously eat only a couple hundred calories for breakfast and lunch? I would be starving.

    Eating only yogurt and/or an apple for lunch, I would be so hangry in the afternoon that I would probably lose my job.

    My diary is not public for a few reasons, but occasionally I wish it was so I could share my meal ideas (the better ones anyway) hehe

    Yesterday I ate:

    hard-boiled egg
    1/2 portion steel cut oats (cooked in milk-water mixture the day before)
    a few black walnut pieces
    sugar-free maple flavored syrup drizzled over top of oats
    coffee w/ 1 packet sweetener and a splash of 1% milk

    Aldi Simply Nature southwestern fresca entrée (I don't eat frozen entrees often though! Too much sodium for my liking)...pasta with a creamy southwest flavored sauce, broccoli, beans, carrots, corn, etc.
    1 cup salad mix (lettuce, cabbage, carrots)
    mini size Ben & Jerry's raspberry dark chocolate frozen yogurt (180 cal)

    2 small size flour tortillas
    1/2 avocado
    2 TBSP garlic lover's hummus
    handfuls of baby spinach
    sprinkling of edamame, cilantro, and drained & rinsed black beans
    12 oz bottle regular Coca-Cola (I drink this like 3-4 times a year because I think it is delicious)

    another cup of coffee with sweetener & splash of 1% milk

    Everything! In moderation. I tend to keep good nutrition in the front of my mind more than I used to though...so my day to day choices are healthier. But if I want a burger, I have one. Or ice cream. Or chocolate. There's room for everything. Use MFP the way it was designed to be used...the possibilities are endless.

    I struggle eating breakfast on a work day so i manage a bit of fruit with some yogurt or this morning it was breakfast biscuits with a banana.

    Lunch i tend to have salad with some form of protein (chicken, prawns or seafood sticks seem to be a fave of mine) although today i made jerk veg soup and had that with a slice of bread.

    Dinners tend to be 4/5 portions of veg with some form of protein again, normally turkey/tuna/chicken. I seem to allow myself 2 meals a week which have pasta/ potatoes involved.

    i do snack between meals so i try to keep my meals low in calorie so i can make up for it in snacks as i know thats where my weakness lies.

    Im eating pretty much anything tbh, ive cut bread out mostly as i could eat it forever so its easier if i dont have it. Ohh and ive stopped eating ice cream!!

    I've learned, after being on crash diets for so many years, don't limit yourself. I eat what I feel like i want to eat but in smaller portions and I try to think of healthier alternatives. I won't eat fast food, of course, but if I want a hamburger I will make one with a wheat bun and veggies. You know? To mix it up, I'm ALWAYS looking for recipes to try and it does make it interesting. I make the recipes for my whole family so I try to pick things that I know my kids will eat.

    My tip would be just mix it up and try to find new recipes :)

    The only thing I have totally cut out from my diet is fizzy drinks and take aways- I used to be addicted to pepsi and dr pepper and I really think this was my main issue for my weight. And we were having a least 1 take away a week.

    I don't limit myself with other foods, I just make sure my portions are enough for what i need so I am not over eating

    Like this morning, I had a 'fry up' but only thing fried was the egg. I had low fat sausages, mushrooms, beans, 1 piece of wholemeal toast, and an egg. All for 400 calories!

    You can eat whatever you want in small portions. A typical day for me:
    Breakfast: plain oatmeal- 300 calories
    Fiber Bar- 90 calories
    Coffee w/ creamer- 70 calories

    Lunch: Protein bar 200 calories or cooked veggies or a cup of fruit

    Dinner: Turkey Burger or 4 oz Tyson chicken breast
    Veggies

    I've cut out snacking personally because I ate to much of chips or pretzels. Cutting out snacks made me lose almost 2 pounds (=

    Yesterday for breakfast I had a mushroom, onion, red pepper, roasted sweet potato fritatta, with 2 pieces of toast and butter followed by full fat greek yogurt with some frozen blueberries and strawberries.

    Lunch was panco breaded pickerel that I caught ice fishing cooked in duck fat.....I had some fortunately.....with a medley of roasted veg and an apple.

    Dinner was duck confit poutine that had cheese curds from a local cheese company and the gravy was from the duck I've recently used in a few recipes.

    Later on 1/2 pint of Hagen Daz rockey road.

    I can't even pronounce some of that stuff, but it sounds delightful!

    You can see my dairy if you want.

    I eat 6 small meals a day.
    Include as much fresh veg as I can.
    I never drink anything with sugar.
    I prepare all my days meals the day before.
    I eat what I want, anything at all, once a week.

    You are eating very little during the day. How about a chicken salad for lunch as well.
