It all depends on what you like. Here's what I eat:

Breakfast: 2 cups black coffee, either 1 cup cooked oatmeal with raisins or 1 cup cheerios in 1% milk or 1/2 cup Grape Nuts with 1% milk.

Lunch: 1 1/2 cups mixed lettuce greens with carrots, cherry tomatoes, and sometime diced meat from dinner the day before (small amount). Or mixed veggies like cucumber, cherry tomatoes, baby carrots, red or yellow sweet pepper, and celery.

Afternoon Snack: Fruit (Granny Smith Apple, Naval Orange or fresh pineapple (1 cup))

Dinner: Marinated pork tenderloin cooked on the grill, or Turkey breast broiled in the oven, or whole chicken split in half and broiled whole in the oven, or leg of lamb. Any of these with a steamed veggie and either wild or brown rice. 1 or two glasses of wine depending on the meat but always a red.

Evening Snack: 1 bag of popcorn -- occasionally.

I've managed o regularly lose weight doing this and staying just under my allocated calories for the day and not eating to my exercise bonus calories. I do workout 7 days a week for about 1 to 1.5 hours each day.

My wife has been doing much the same thing but she's far more petite than I and has less to lose too but she's been quite successful as well.

Does that give you an idea?

My plan is similar to rheston.

Breakfast: always one cup coffee with cream and then oatmeal or cereal with 1% milk or mini bagel with fat free cream cheese or vegetable omelette and 1/2 fruit

Lunch: Turkey deli wrap or tuna and fresh veggies or half a sandwich with 2 cups salad and the other half of the fruit

Snack: fruit and yogurt or tuna or 1 oz of some other protein

Dinner: 1-2 cups of salad/veggies with lean meat (roasted or grilled) and one carb serving like a potato or rice or pasta

Snack: 94% fat free popcorn or fat free ice cream (if I want something)

I went to settings and created 6 meals: breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, evening snack. I usually eat 5 of the 6 meals and it depends on my schedule for the day. I burn 400 to 600 calories a day doing cardio 6 times a week and work with weights every other day.
