What are your go-to Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner?

kait_marie24

My typical day looks something like this

Breakfast - Quest bar or an egg sandwich & unsweetened iced green tea from DD
Lunch - Turkey sandwich & granola bar
Dinner - Chopped salad

I'm bored and need ideas!

Breakfast - Egg whites with veggies, fruit, and coffee. I will often add turkey bacon and/or oatmeal or toast.
Lunch - big yummy salad with lots of good veggies and a wrap with chicken, turkey, or tuna
Dinner - This varies often but one frequent dinner is baked protein (tilapia or chicken most often) with salsa, brown rice, and roasted veggie (broccoli, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, eggplant, etc.)

Edited to add:
Snacks! Greek yogurt with a homemade muffin in the morning and fruit with turkey jerky or cheese in the afternoon.

That's not very many calories, OP.

Breakfast - coffee with cream and sugar, yogurt, and sometimes a protein shake with milk.
Lunch - Usually leftovers from the night before, or if that's not available, something frozen like bagel bites or chicken nuggets.
Dinner - Whatever my husband makes. Usually a 6-8 ounce portion of meat, vegetable side, and a starch like potatoes or corn.

I fill in between with plenty of snacks like m&ms or mini reese's cups.

One of my go-to lunches is a salad from subway: a little lettuce, a lot of spinach, green peppers, banana peppers, pickles, onions, jalepenos, tuna salad and avocado with a little bit of honey mustard dressing.

My go-to dinner would have to be fish (salmon or tilapia) with veggies steamed in the microwave.

Yeah, i realized that it looked that way after I posted. I always have little snacks in between.

breakfast: plain nonfat greek yogurt with a little bit of honey and fruit (usually half a banana sliced and some kind of berry) and two tbsp chopped pecans OR one fried egg on a bagel thin with some reduced fat cheddar

lunch: leftovers from dinner (i try to always make enough of dinner to do that) or low-sodium canned soup

dinner: some combination of lean protein/roasted or steamed vegetable/starch like quinoa or brown rice. sometimes if i'm craving cheese, i'll do a feta/spinach stuffed chicken with double vegetable on the side.

SNACKS: one light babybel cheese, kind bar, 80-cal. greek yogurt (if i didn't have it for breakfast) or fruit (usually apple or kiwi)

stephgas

breakfast is often chex with almond milk - either vanilla or cinnamon chex. sometimes it is 2 whole eggs with spinach and 1/4 ounce of cheese. also coffee with 2 sugars and fat free non-dairy creamer. ooh, and fruit/veg juice, usually bolthouse farms. once in a while i make bacon for dh and myself - yum.

lunch is usually a protein shake and a luna bar. dinner varies a lot: veggie udon, pasta with veggie meatballs, veggie burgers with mac & cheese, quinoa stuffed red peppers, quinoa and black bean enchiladas, portobello 'cheesesteaks', pancakes with real maple syrup (all dinners include a green salad with full fat dressing - sometimes i'll eat the salad while i'm cooking). snacks include watermelon, pretzel sticks, nuts, and 60 calorie jello pudding cups. depending on what calories i have, i might have a bit of ice cream or brownie brittle for dessert.

I have recently found and fallen in love with overnight oats. I struggle with breakfast in the morning so something with little or no prep is what works for me. You mix this up the night before and stick it in the fridge then its ready when you are in the morning. For lunch I love subway. I need to start packing lunch though. And dinner is usually a recipe off of skinnytaste.

Liftng4Lis

Breakfast- greek yogurt (non-fat) fresh fruit (whatever i have), walnuts.
Lunch MEAT -veggies
Dinner MEAT - veggies, brown rice.

(obviously I'm craving protein here)

scthomas100

Breakfast - Scrambled eggs with mix-ins, green smoothie with protein powder, or whole wheat waffles with nut butter and fruit

Morning snack - Greek yogurt, apple, or latte

Lunch - Usually leftovers from the previous night, but if I'm in a bind I'll make a salad from a restaurant near my work or grab a microwavable meal

Dinner - Lately I've been favoring a big kale salad with dijon dressing and a protein, but usually anything goes with dinner. Tonight I made roasted zucchini, black bean, and goat cheese enchiladas. Last night I made pizza with crispy kale and mozzarella. Tomorrow will be a portable burger.

Evening snack - Something sweet like ice cream, or a cocktail.

I get bored so easily so I will give you some things I choose from!

Breakfast: Thomas English Muffin (the high fiber ones), a boiled egg, chocolate vita top, fiber one cinnamon raisin toast

Lunch: salad with lots of veggies and chicken, egg, turkey or tuna,

Dinner: chicken sausage, spaghetti squash (tons of great recipes out there), salmon, veggie burgers, turkey chili

I find that I like to have small meals with snacks in between. This way I don't get ravenously hungry before I sit down for a meal.

CallMeCupcakeDammit

Breakfast: eggs (microwaved), ice cream, protein latte
Lunch: Veggie burger with fixin's, a veggie, protein latte
AM/PM Snacks: Protein shake, apple with peanut butter, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt with cereal/fruit
Dinner: Veggie omelet or a big salad with some type of protein

OldSportOldsport

Breakfast: water, green tea, normal tea, and if I feel hungry (I often don't in the mornings) I have bacon with a bowl of lettuce.

Lunch: generally either deli meats like thin sliced beef or pieces of chicken, or pan-fried chicken with lettuce etc

Dinner: panfried chicken with different seasonings, with red onion, red peppers, different lettuces etc. Or steak with the same salad. Basically any meat with that salad.

I hit my protein requirement fast but have trouble meeting my fat goals.

ELLager

During the work week I have two hard boiled eggs for breakfast, a few cups of black coffee.

Lunch is usually a chicken breast with veggies or a light chicken dumpling/noodle soup

Dinner is whatever either my husband makes or I find..today I had a mix of plain greek yogurt with a mashed avocado and I dipped a couple chips with huge scoops! I was in heaven and I'm full! I will be doing this more often..Then I usually just drink ice water before I go to bed.


Snack: I had a 55 calorie beer after work lol

The weekend is not so structured!

Andrezia

Breakfast-Overnight Oats with Coconut Shreds and Almond Milk

dukesangel

Breakfasts: cereal, eggs, or smoothie
Lunch: leftover from dinner or sandwich with fruit and something like veggie sticks
Dinner: always protien/veggie/starch

May be boring but I'm generally able to keep it at or under 1500 calories with my madness

AmZam05

Here's my favorite default fall-back meals when I don't make prior plans:

Breakfast - multigrain waffle with natural peanut butter and drizzle of honey
Lunch - grilled chicken spinach salad with chopped veggies, olives, feta cheese, and black beans for toppings
Dinner - turkey rice bowl (my own recipe) made of ground turkey, steamed brown rice, scrambled egg and sauteed kale, black beans, black olives and chickpeas, sometimes mushrooms if I have them

That of course doesn't include snacks which are fresh fruit in mid-morning and plain greek yogurt with berries in the afternoon.

Hope that gave you some different ideas!

Joannah700

Snack: Trader Joes Snack Pack of Almonds or Fresh and Easy Cranberry Nut Squares (So Good!)

Dinner: Grilled Chicken/Chicken Meatballs (Aidells has a delicious teriyaki pineapple meatball), Cous Cous/Quinoa, Trader Joes Frozen Veggie Mix of some sort

alyssa_6481

Breakfast : Protein shake or plain greek yogurt flavored with cinnamon/honey/and almonds

Dinner: Chicken or turkey with a vegetable and rice or potato

reachingforarainbow

Yeah, i realized that it looked that way after I posted. I always have little snacks in between.

I would suggest bigger meals. Snack foods can tend to be processed. I haven't had a look at your food diary so maybe you eat really clean snacks. Also, I am not super healthy myself and eat a lot of processed junk and sometimes not the best "meals" and snack a lot at night, so I should probably follow my own advice ... haha irony

keefmac

Toasted ham pita breads or a chicken/ tuna wrap for dinner for me, few apples during the day and a "normal" family tea..

Never been a big breakfast eater, nomally mug of white tea with two sugars..

healthym0m0f2

B- egg and vegetable omelet with fruit and sometimes meat like bacon or sausage.
Paleo muffins with bacon/sausage.
Today was really random because I was tired. Some cashews, sausage and banana. I try to keep it balanced as much as possible with healthy fats.
L- usually salads. Today I'm having sweet potato and tuna cakes over a salad. Or I'll have some kind of meat and vegetables.
D- usually meat and vegetables. I like to try new paleo recipes often.
S- I'll have some nuts/seeds, raw vegetables, jersey, fruit.
I try to keep it as whole as possible.

AmyRhubarb

Breakfast: Eggs, toast w/ butter & black coffee OR oatmeal with fruit, yogurt, nuts, honey & cinnamon.

Lunch: Burrito bowl is my fave - beans (black or pinto), rice if I have it on hand, leftover meat from last night's dinner, plain Greek yogurt or sour cream, avocado, salsa, cheese.

Dinner: Grilled or roasted meat (and I make extra for the next day's lunch!) with a grilled or roasted fresh veggie, rice/potato/sweet potato, fresh fruit.

I too get bored very easily and am always wanting something different.

Breakfast - 2 slices whole wheat French toast (using Almond milk), Nutella and fresh berriesin between slices ( or peanut butter and banana)
or 2 eggs and 1 almost too ripe banana, mixed and mashed together. Pour and sevve like pancakes. I top with a little honey and sprinkle of cinnamon.

I got this from Cracker Barrel - cut whole in slice of bread and put bread in frying pan. Crack egg into whole and cook as you like your egg. I add bacon or sausage.

Lunch - salad with fresh berries, cranberries and pecans and Italian dressing.

Dinner - whatever I make for my family, in smaller portions of course.

Hope this helps!

Breakfast: An egg sandwich (light rye, one fried egg, one slice chicken bacon, 7g low fat cream cheese, 1 tbsp salsa, and some spinach) with some fruit and a coffee. This combo never gets old if I switch up the fruit from time to time, and keeps me full til lunch.

Lunch: I like having an assortment of snacks with my lunch. I usually pack a few of the following: A yogurt, some Special K chips, sliced veggies and salsa or ranch, a banana, apple slices and cucumber, two cookies, a granola bar.... And then either a tuna sandwich, or leftovers like chicken and rice, lasagna, etc.

Dinner: Almost always a lean meat topped with a flavourful cooking sauce, and then either fresh veggies or half a bag of frozen veggies that I sautee or steam.
