What does your daily menu look like?

I am just looking for some new ideas. Especially stuff to take to work for lunch!

I usually have a potein shake and fruit for breakfast and lunch, since my job crazy the shakes and fruit are quick and easy. Dinner I have 4-6 oz of some kind of meat, lots of veggies.

I pack both breakfast and lunch for work everyday! Here's a typical day for me

Breakfast - 1 Multigrain English Muffin with 1 slice American Cheese (put it into the microwave for 15 seconds to melt the cheese and it tastes just like a cheese biscut) Yum!

Lunch - Weight Watchers Smart Ones Meal
1/2 cup grapes (halved) and 2 large Strawberries cut into pieces mixed 1 cup Fat Free Dannon Light & Fit Vanilla Yogurt

Dinner - Varies each night because I have 3 small children. I typically incorporate some form of lean meat, and lots of veggies!! I also save all of my exercise calories for my dinner meal since it is so hard for me to plan ahead for this!!

Snack - 2 Fat Free unsalted rice cakes w/2 tbsp. reduced fat peanut butter (I keep this in my desk drawer so that I am not tempted to visit the snack machine). On days that I have a sweet craving, I add a few raisins to each one and it gives it that extra "sweet" kick that I need.

Hope this helps!

I pack my breakfast and lunch too, plus snacks.

Breakfast is almost always low-sugar oatmeal w/coffee.
Fruit for snack
Either a lean cuisine type meal or a salad w/grilled chicken for lunch
Yogurt or fruit for snack
Another snack when i get home (triscuits and laughing cow or something like that)
Dinner is always a protein, starch and veggie

I have a protein shake for breakfast any morning I don't go to the gym before 9 am. Sometimes I put fruit in it.

For lunch, usually leftovers from other dinners... Mostly meat and veggies, sometime some potato.

I also make these things called "Egg Bites" which are like mini-quiches without a crust. I make them in a batch of 24 and freeze them and then take some for lunch or afternoon snacks.

Afternoon snack: fruit, cottage cheese, cheese sticks, nuts, greek yogurt, egg bites (if I didn't have them for lunch), hard boiled eggs, beef jerky, a protein drink, or these special low-cal muffins I make with protein powder.

Dinner: usually meat and veggies

Evening snack: protein hot chocolate or nothing

On the days I work out here's my menu:

Breakfast - 1 cup of Kashi Go Lean cereal
1 banana
1/2 cup skim milk
cup of coffee

Morning snack - 6 oz serving of no fat Greek yogurt
1/2 cup of berries, either raspberries or strawberries or both
2 Tbls of slivered raw almonds

Lunch is usually some sort of meat leftover from dinner the night before, and veggies, either green beans with almonds or a big salad with lots of veggies in it. If I have the salad, I'll make a vinaigrette from olive oil, cider vinegar and various spices.

Afternoon snack is often hummus with grape tomatoes

Dinner is 4-6 oz of meat (chicken, steak, or fish) and more veggies.

And if I'm feeling peckish after that, some microwave popcorn, but I don't often want that anymore.

And lots and lots of water throughout the day.
