I'll tell you what I had today if that helps

breakfast - porride made up with water
Lunch - homemade carrot and lentil soup with a toasted bagel and two clementines
snack - banana
dinner - homemade mushroom and light mozarella tartlet, with carrot and swede mash, brussel sprouts and green beans
snack - 25g cashews with 200g natural plain greek yoghurt

This comes to just over 1800 cals, which is my maintenace allowance.
My days are usually pretty similar to this, always start with porridge now it's gotten cold, love it!

Breakfast: Coffee.

Lunch: Coffee, sandwich.

Snack: Apple, some plums.

Dinner: Coffee, sandwich.

Snack: Apple, carrots, plums.

That's intertwined with days where I eat calorie heavy foods/sweets. I'm sure this is a very healthy way of living.

Emeshee

for breakfast (7:30 AM) i usually have 1 tablespoon of chia seeds soaked in unsweetened almond milk and a couple strawberries. if im still really hungry i will also have an apple or grapefruit.

for lunch (12:00) i will have something like a greek yogurt, or maybe sliced vegetables with hummus

then (1:00) i will have a coffee to tide me over until i eat again

for dinner (6:00) i change it up a lot. some days i have an egg white omelet with spinach, others i will have some (5) steamed shrimp with broccoli. Another option for me is steamed green beans with a half cup of chick peas.

I usually get hungry later on so around 9:00 i will have something light, 1 tablespoon of popcorn kernels, air popped or a piece of fruit. Some days i will have a hot chocolate instead if im not hungry, just want something tasty

I go to the gym at 6:15 AM and am in bed at 10:00 PM

some days i will add in a couple other items.

My food intake is unrealistic for many people but it works for me! I am satisfied and happy.

I'm 1200 to lose 1lb/week
1400 to lose .5/week
and 1600 to maintain

I've always been a healthy weight but I've learned with all the free food at work and work travel I really need to log to maintain or to lose a little and get back to maintenance.

Here's what a typical work day looks like for me food-wise. In my house we typically cook at home for dinner:

-Oatmeal & coffee at work. Typically breakfast at work is under 300 cals total
-Fruit around 11am (usually under 100 cals)
-Lunch around Noon. Often Amy's Organics or another brand that is organic/natural/grass fed etc. (usually under 400 cals)
-Yogurt around 3pm (typically around 140-160 cals)
-Snack after work and before gym (crackers & hummus, cheese stick, roasted veggies) (typically under 200 cals)
-Dinner (ranges in calories). We love recipes from Everyday Food Magazine because they are easy to log (nutrition info given). We try to eat as organic and local as possible (grass fed beef has way less fat--etc.)
-If I have Zumba or yoga in the evening I even have enough cals left for dessert like a piece of dark chocolate or another piece of fruit.

Careful on the Skinny Cow. Many of them have warnings in regards to...digestive issues.

Why whites only? The concept that the yolk causes levels of bad cholesterol in the blood to increase is actually misinformation left over from the 80s. If you eat eggs that are as local as possible and organic you will get increased levels of Omega 3s as well as other nutrients not typically found in high levels in commercial eggs.

You are one of the lucky ones. Your best bet to avoid the chemical stew that is Skinny Cow is to measure out the ice cream at home. Some people do their own individual sized portions ahead for the freezer. Or try a frozen yogurt or frozen Greek yogurt (also can pre measure out the sizes). Any frozen treat should have 5 ingredients or less (and should be all things you recognize). The reason is because there are things in Skinny Cow that are banned in other countries. Some of them are suspected to cause cancer and one of them (a thickener) is only legal here in the US but banned everywhere else.
