some other breakfasts I eat are:
an egg w a piece of toast
yogurt and berries with a granola bar.

Fattack

It varies but today's quite typical

Breakfast: Porridge oats, with skim milk and some orange blossom honey
Lunch: Parma Ham in wholemeal pitta, low fat yoghurt
Dinner: some roast chicken breast with side salad
Snacks: Nuts, raisins, a small apple and a satsuma (spaced out throughout the day)
And a protein shake after my workout (about an hour before dinner).

A bad day for me would be very similar to the above, but with a chocolate bar or a bag of crisps thrown in as a snack instead of the healthy things. Luckily I don't have days like that too often

On an average day my breakfast is usually 1/2 small slice wholemeal toast with peanut butter, a small (children's) yoghurt and a rice cake with humous.

Lunch is normally something like scrambled egg on wholemeal toast / beans on toast / soup and small roll / chicken salad

Dinner is normally white meat (turkey or chicken) with small amount of carbs (new potatoes or wholemeal pasta) and stir-fried veg or salad. I do lots of stir-fries...

I use lots of herbs and spices to jazz up my rather bland sounding meals though. My current fave is chilli chicken and balsamic new potaotes! Yum!
