    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!

    On a normal work day I eat:

    Breakfast -
    Oatmeal with apple butter or yogurt with berries and granola or toast and eggs
    coffee

    I have to ask, what's apple butter? It sounds delicious!

    Anyway I basically eat the same exact foods everyday. It makes groceries cheaper.

    Breakfast:
    Plain oatmeal with either granola or applesauce mixed in
    Apple

    Lunch:
    Turkey sandwich
    Pear

    Dinner:
    Grilled chicken
    Spinach or spinach salad with almonds

    Snacks:
    Yogurt
    Carrots and celery with either hummus or guacamole
    Rice Chex

    Breakfast:
    Oat Brits or Porridge

    Morning Tea:
    Usually a protein bar

    Lunch:
    Usually a sandwich. Sometimes a 1/2 dinner serve of leftovers. On Saturdays, often a burrito bowl from an Australian mexican food chain.

    Afternoon Tea:
    Fruit
    Whatever I need to balance my macros out

    Dinner:
    I cook at home mostly. Must have lots of veggies, some protein, some carbs, but I make a variety of Mexican, Italian, Chinese, Thai and even Anglo Australian dishes. And I try new recipes out fairly regularly.

    And I drink a whey protein shake after I work out.

    Hey, we eat very similar! lol. Yes, how do you like the ezekial bread? I just disocvered it and I don't think I want to go with others because of the low calorie, carb, and high protein and fiber content of this bread.
