Pre-workout (Breakfast 1): 1/4 cup steel-cut oats with 1 tablespoon almond butter and a splash of almond milk
Post-workout (Breakfast 2): Egg scrambled with broccoli OR veggies with hummus OR Van's blueberry waffle with fresh fruit and almond butter
Lunch: Bowl of soup (usually chicken and rice or country vegetable) with an apple, veggies (usually cucumbers, carrots, or celery), and a granola bar or soy crisps. "Lunch" is spread out from 2-6 while I'm at school; I typically eat the soup and apple in one sitting and the rest during class.
Dinner: Totally varies. Today, I had half a bagel with tomato sauce, cheese, and broccoli and a Skinny Cow bar for dessert.

When it comes to snacks, I pick here and there - sometimes to a fault. I've been more accountable since joining this site, though!
