    It's 3.20pm here in the UK.

    So far I have had

    Breakfast: Syrup Flavoured instant porridge with semi-skimmed milk
    Snack: One of my childrens home made cupcakes- it was horrible and a waste of 100 calories!
    Lunch: Vegetable and Lentil soup and a packet of corn snacks
    Dinner will be: Sausage Casserole, with reduced fat cumberland sausages, skinny mashed potatoes, and carrots, broccoli and cauliflower.

    I have enough cals left for another snack so may have a WW yoghurt or frozen dessert later, as my hubby always has 3 crumpets with cheese at about 9pm and it drives me crazy, even though I don't care for cheese much. (he is 6ft 2 and only weighs 158lb)

    Lunch - shrimp penne pasta
    Dinner - 1 cup multi-grain cheerios, 1/2 cup milk

    I know it sounds boring, but I've really seen results since we switched our main meal from Dinner to Lunch. We eat a really light dinner (cereal or oatmeal) and we're losing weight, plus there's not that "heavy" feeling after dinner, creating the slump before bed.

    Definitely better to eat lighter late in the day.

    Just curious, why no veggies or fruit?

    Breakfast: 75g Fruit 'n' Fibre with 300ml light soy milk, coffee
    Lunch: Houmous sandwich on wholemeal bread, soy yoghurt, coke zero

    I agree with you completely! I eat what is convienent to eat, so I have to make healthy foods more convienent ! Its funny you do a pre breakfast, because most days so do I! The pre is simply just to start my metabolism before I'm even very hungry, and then I usually have more later on when I'm actually hungry.

    Breakfast: Smoothie (1 Mango, 1 Peach & 1/2 cup apple juice) with 6 cups of green tea throughout the morning

    Snack: 1.5 servings of plain greek yogurt.

    Lunch - (Breakfast for lunch) 1 egg fried in a drizzle of olive oil with spinach and feta, 1 piece ancient grain toast, with two slices of Canadian Back Bacon, and an 8 oz glass of milk.

    Snack - 1/4 cup Macadamia Nuts

    Dinner - Homemade Greek Salad with BBQ steak and mashed potatoes and probably a glass of red wine.
  • Breakfast:
    Sara Lee 130 cal bagel
    1 tbsp low-fat chive and onion cream cheese
    2 cups milk (one before the gym)
    1/2 delicious cupcake (this is not normal)

    Snack:
    reduced fat string cheese
    Designer Whey protein shake

    Lunch:
    Mutter Paneer & Basmatti Rice

    Snack:
    Fat-Free Strawberry greek yogurt
    1/2 cup Kashi Go Lean

    Dinner:
    Chicken and vegetable something, not sure what yet.

    A pretty intense amount of dairy today! I need to think of some other protein sources. I usually have ham with breakfast, but eating meat all day long is not very appealing to me :/

    Same here! I've lost doing the exact same thing. Doesn't work for everyone, but it keeps your metabolism up. As long as you're not eating junky snacks, it works. Plus for me, my current job is SO boring that I use snacks to help me break up the day!

    Besides it's so much fun to say, "Well - if I'm going to keep losing weight, I guess I'd better go get another snack" - I LOVE seeing people's faces when I say that! LOL!
