Bfast...iced coffee, little cream no sugar and fresh fruit, I have 7 fruit trees in my backyard. I try to avoid anything but fruit until noon.

I have a mini fridge at work and most of the time it's salad, but I need some bacon bits, some feeling of meat and also some blue cheese

Usually a greek yogurt, a protein shake, and a banana. Usually grapes and or raisins mid morning. Lunch varies.

Breakfast is 2 or 3 eggs fried in a bit of coconut oil, a slice of whole wheat toast with butter, and black coffee.

Lunch would be a homemade "burrito bowl" of grilled chicken, black beans, plain greek yogurt, avocado, salsa, cheese, tomato, lettuce.

Like someone else posted, I'm never hungry for breakfast but know that I have to eat something to raise my metabolism, so it's usually something light, such as a couple slices of Butterball low sodium turkey bacon, or a slice of Weight Watcher's wheat bread, toasted, with honey and sinnamon.

I am a sandwich fanatic, so lunch is usually fat free deli meat on WW bread with lettuce and tomato. It never gets boring!

brenda4life

My go to breakfast is 1/2 cup of egg whites on a low carb, high protein tortilla wrap. Some days I add veggies, some days I add cheese.

My go to lunch is also a wrap with deli turkey, thin sliced provolone, lettuce, tomato.

If I don't have a lot of time I may just grab a protein shake. I like the myoplex lite.

Breakffast: low fat yogurt and a piece of fruit

Lunch: prepackaged meal that's under 300 calories and I usually put carrots in for the last part of the cooking for filler.

Easy to take food for the week and leave it at work so I'm always prepared.

Boring I know but it's filling and saves calories for later in the day which is my weak time.

I just found a new breakfast that I am obsessed with - quinoa porridge! I boil 1/4 cup of quinoa with 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, with some cinnamon, nutmeg, and a tsp of maple syrup. Because I'm always starving in the morning, I add 5 thawed frozen strawberries to this plus a mashed banana. SO GOOD. My bf needs to eat at least twice as many calories as I do, so he usually adds some nuts to this - walnuts or pecans usually, or slivered almonds.

On days when I sleep in and don't need a big breakfast, I usually do a smoothie with vanilla protein powder, frozen strawberries, and a banana.

My lunches are usually simpler, some combination of nuts, an apple, some veggies, a few pieces of cheese, a bowl of soup.

For breakfast, I've been switching up from raisin bran to eggs. However, now, I'm moving to breakfast steaks, chicken, and eggs. Anything with a lot of protein.

kimleroy

Breakfast I'll either usually do a bowl of whole grain cereal with skim milk (I love mini wheats) or I'll have a slice of peanut butter toast and some yogurt.

My current lunch obsession is an avocado sandwich! Whole wheat bread, 1/4 an avocado, 2 Tbsp salsa, a little mustard for a kick all for 200 calories. So yummy!

busywifehealthylife

I typically eat a packet of plain instant oatmeal (cooked), with 1/4 cup of pomegranate seeds or blueberries or raspberries, coffee, and a hard boiled egg white. On weekends I like to eat 3/4 cup peanut butter or chocolate cheerios (same calories as original cheerios and they are multi grain) with 1/2 cup 1 % milk and coffee.

Sometimes I make a smoothie which is plain greek non-fat yogurt (about 1/2 cup), 1/2 a banana, 1/2 cup berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, any combo) and a 1/4 cup orange juice with calcium added. Blend it all together and it's fantastic! Plus the greek yogurt provides a good amount of protein to start your day.

LorinaLynn

Breakfast is usually a bagel. Lunch is usually a turkey, lettuce, tomato sandwich.

I ain't afraid of no carbs.

angiechimpanzee

Breakfast, OATMEAL!!! This is the way I've been making it as of today:
1/2 cup instant oats
1/2 cup vanilla soymilk
half a mashed banana
two tablespoons granola
one teaspoon brown sugar

Mmmmm.

Lunch, grilled chicken sandwich that I typically get from Chickfila because I'm in college.

angiechimpanzee

If I remember, I eat a banana for breakfast along with 24oz of h20. Lunch is my fav meal! 2 pieces of organic home made sprouted wheat bread toasted, with a whole organic sliced tomato, and a half or organic avocado. I put a little vegenaise on the bread and eat it open faced..

Wow you're not hungry on that?

kimberliiw

Cereal and milk with a piece of whole grain toast. I keep a box of cereal and some bread at work and go in at 4 am, so when I take my "lunch" break at 9 it's easy and fast. Breakfast at home varies and sometimes doesn't happen.

Lunch is usually a turkey sandwich, salad or leftovers.

allymacary

I recently discovered I love smoked salmon so I'll have a piece of wheat toast with a Laughing Cow cream cheese wedge, a slice of smoked salmon and a few capers, YUM! OR I'll always love my over easy egg with rye toast.

Lunch is usually homemade soup or leftovers.

Ok, now I'm hungray...

realme56

B-Fruit and cheese, oatmeal, egg white/bacon bit sammie with thins and laughing cow, yogurt and fruit

L- Trader Joe egg white salad with pop chips (like a dip) or veggie strips and fruit, any type of sandwich with fruit

If you like tuna I cook my own tuna steaks, cool and mix with Trader Joe salsa verde, spinach and pepperoncini slices and a bit of low calorie mayo, pumps up the healthy and down the calories.

zrmac804

Breakfast: Hot cereal with milk & honey, 1 egg and 1 egg white cooked in 1 tsp margarine, fruit, coffee with milk
Lunch: Whole wheat spaghetti with tomato sauce and meatballs and 1 tbsp romano cheese on top. 2% yogurt for dessert.
Other lunch: Curry (beef, pork, or chicken) with vegetables and whole wheat bread.

DawnieB1977

I usually have 2 poached eggs, 1 slice of toast and a spoon of baked beans for breakfast. Sometimes I make scrambled egg instead.

Lunch is often some sort of salad - chicken or tuna. Sometimes I just have some crackers with peanut butter and a banana.

redhousecat

usually yogurt or cereal for breakfast

6oz salmon and cup of rice for lunch
steamed veggies and protein bar - lunch

those are the ones I eat the most

In the weekend I always try new stuff, like different kinds of sandwiches and omlettes and so on.

But during the weekdays my go-to breakfast is Olympus 2% fat greek yogurt and the BelVita biscuits from Kraft (the milk version, I don't like the others). Sometimes I add beries in my yogurt.

I do not have a go-to lunch, I try be as diverse as possible, considering mostly healthy foods. There is always plenty of choice.

stephdeeable

My go to breakfast is 2 eggs over easy, 1/2 cup 1% cottage cheese and either 2 slices of turkey bacon or a whole wheat english muffin. I also put salsa on my eggs instead of ketchup.

If I'm working an early shift or am in a rush I'll eat high fibre cereal(or oatmeal), a piece of fruit and some yogurt.

I usually aim for a 500 or more cal breakfast though, that's a bit high for some people.

My go to lunch is a huge veggie salad (green leaf, spinach, cucumber, zuchinni, celery, tomato, carrots, radishes...basically any veggie that's around) topped with either nuts, beans, tuna or chicken breast with light italian dressing.

Although, it's already -5 where I live (Ontario, Canada) so lunch time may soon become hot soup time.

amycb03

Bfast:
2 egg whites on a whole wheat english muffin with 1/2 avocado or slice of gouda cheese.
oatmeal (plain old fashioned or steel cut from the bulk bins at whole foods, not the packaged stuff) with add-ins- either a banana, pumpkin/pumpkinpie spice/maplesyrup, apples/cinnamon, shredded coconut/slivered almonds, dried cranberries or raisins

Lunch:
I make a different soup every sunday in the crockpot-something really heavy on the veggies so i can have a giant filling portion for low calories...then a piece of fruit for dessert
sometimes i make dinner for lunch- chicken/broccoli/sweetpotato or similar
giant salad beast- lots of veggies, a good protein...rarely use dressing- either use eggs over easy as the dressing or mix up some honey and mustard together...vinegar and oil if i'm in the mood

busywifehealthylife

I forgot! Sometimes I also mix in a quarter cup of Trader Joe's Honey Sesame Cashews into my oatmeal. Sooooo good.

busywifehealthylife

breakfast - 2 eggs scrambled with canadian bacon

lunch - chicken breast, raw fresh veggies (lots), apple, and 14 almonds (yes, I count them).


Boring, yes. But it works for me.

I count my almonds too

AlissaFL

Breakfast: 2 eggs and 1 piece of whole wheat toast
Lunch: Tuna. I used to make with eggs, mayo and relish, but my friend talked me into having it with just mustard. I am not a big mustard fan, but honestly it makes the tuna taste like chicken salad. So I have that with some steamed peas or green beans.

MinMin97

Breakfast
1 scrambled egg with cheddar
salsa fresca of sorts...fresh avo, tomato, onion, cilantro garlic
steamed squash
greek yogurt
coffee

Lunch
Steamed broccoli
protein of choice (often greek yogurt again--I'm an addict:blushing: )
tortilla chips and salsa fresca again

This is my thing lately.

LCgymnast

Cereal and milk( high fiber) for breakfast. Or lots of fruit in the am. For lunch an egg turkey sandwich for some protein.

kimmireads

My go to breakfast lately is a one egg ham and cheese omlette (1 large egg, a little splash of milk, 1 slice of ham luncheon meat and a piece and a half of 2% American cheese).

As for lunch I don't know that I really have a go to for lunch. I go in streaks--sometimes I make salads other times have leftovers, or a 1/2 or a whole sandwich. Love to have soup and 1/2 a sandwich--but tend to not want soup when it's warm out --that's when I seem to crave salad and fruit.

Now if you asked my go to "midnight snack" that would be a small bowl of cereal (about 3/4 of a cup with a 1/2 cup of 1% milk)--Honey Nut Cherrios and bite size Mini-Wheats are a couple of my favorites!

1_day_at_a_time

no..im kinda surprised myself. I have to force myself to eat over 1200 cal..but I really don't work out because I have a busted knee. I eat A LOT of veggies though.
