    I have been having plain old Cheerio's for breakfast, with some almond or coconut milk. And for lunch I either have smoothies or tomato sandwiches :)

    I've been doing oatmeal with soy milk because it's so healthy, but I am getting bored of it. Just bought some agave nectar - will see if that perks things up.

    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.

    Go to breakfast is a 2 egg omelet with some cheese or leftovers from previous night. Lunch is always a great big salad with a can of tuna or salmon or I make sure I cook enough the previous night so I have leftovers to just grab from the fridge if I'm short on time. I eat primal so basically think in terms of protein and veges.

    Breakfast is tough for me as I truly have no appetite but it's super important to eat something. I usually have a granola bar or some raisins or fruit. Sometimes yogurt or a small bowl of cheerio's.

    Lunch I usually have soup, some sort of lean cuisine or leftover chicken/steak and veggies

    I need real food. Breakfast: I like sandwich thins with a serving of egg beaters and sauteed spinach. I put a garlic herb laughing cow on the toasted thin. Add hot sauce.

    Lunch - lots of veggies. Some raw, some cooked. Protein (usually chicken or fish) and some sort of carb. Could be a roll, tortilla or part of a soft pretzel.

    Breakfast - Quaker Weight control oatmeal

    Lunch - spinach salad with broiled chicken, a little goat cheese, craisins and white balsamic dressing.

    I try to change things up, but end up going back to the routine.

    For the past year b-fast alternates between two choices.

    B-fast A: Bowl grits (either instant packet or made from 1/4 cup dry instant grits), 1/2 english muffin, 1 T Better N' Peanut Butter, 10 almonds, 3 prunes, Acitivia Light

    B-fast B: 1 cup Kashi Go Lean Original (LOVE THIS!!!), 1 cup skim milk, 1/2 english muffin, 1 T Better N' PB, 10 almonds, 3 prunes

    Honestly I love the Kashi Go Lean and would do it every day but I'm afraid I will get tired of it. Some go-to of my past were...

    Van's lite waffle (2), 1 T Better N' Peanut Butter, 1/2 banana, Activia Light
    Plain Oatmeal, 1 T skippy reduced fat peanut butter, 1/2 banana, 1 cup Simply Start Skim Chocolate Milk

    And from my running days post run
    1 Thomas Bagel, 1 T peanut butter, 1 banana, 1 cup skim milk

    For lunch it's always the same:
    Turkey sandwich with cucumbers and spinach (cucumbers rock on a sandwich), 1 cup honeydew, 1 T sliced olives, 5 almonds, 1/2 cup PB cheerios, and yogurt

    Breakfast is usually a peanut butter and apple with ground flax on a whole wheat tortilla.

    Lunch is usually a big salad with light ranch, yogurt, and either a cheese stick or fruit.

    Breakfast is one or 2 of the following: fat free cottage cheese with fruit. English muffin with one egg white and a slice of bordens fat free sharp cheddar cheese, or oatmeal with fruit. AND I have to have my 2 cups of black coffee with splenda. AND an oikos 4oz fat free greek yogurt with fruit on the bottom which is only 90 calories. I typically eat starting at 7am spread out till 10am. Never eat all of this at one time. I spread it out over a few hours while I'm getting my morning going, getting kids off to school, going for my morning walk etc.

    Lunch is usually a large salad with cut up grilled boneless skinless chicken breast or a grilled piece of salmon and whatever low cal dressing I have in the house. Or I'll slice up my chicken breast and put it on rye bread with romaine lettuce and slices of tomato and sometimes a slice of bordens fat free sharp cheddar cheese.

    Breakfast: 30g of your favorite cereal with low fat milk, put it in the microwave for 2 minutes. Then slice up half a banana (you can put a whole one but this will save up in the long run) and add it to your heated bowl and sprinle a couple of dashes of ground cinnamon. SOO yummy and filling and only about 300 calories or so.

    Lately, breakfast is a smoothie and scrambled eggs. For lunch, I made a big pot of pasta salad and put them in containers to grab for the week. I made it healthier by using yogurt instead of mayo (I did add 2 tbsp of mayo though to the whole recipe) and added corn, black beans, celery and onions.

    Cream of Wheat or Sugar Free Oatmeal. I'm starting to really like Muscle Milk though, so I might switch it up and have that for breakfast and one of the other two for a afternoon snack.

    My lunch varies. I found Cugino Chicken Enchilada Soup (one serving pouch) very tasty with either a half sandwich or a 4 cup salad. It has beans and the base is a bit spicy, so it does go great with salad.

    When I forget to shop (which is often), I can throw together a quick chicken salad with canned chicken breast, tablespoon of fat free salad dressing and some broccoli. Loaded with protein....

    I usually make a big batch of pancakes or waffles on the weekend. Then I freeze them and reheat them as needed through the week. I usually have them with turkey sausage and a little bit of real maple syrup for under 350 calories. This allows me to have a great hot breakfast ready in 90 seconds in the microwave. So easy! Sometimes I have old-fashioned oats with fruit - but usually only when I know I'm going to eat a lavish lunch and/or dinner.

    For lunch, I have lots of favorite stand-bys. I'll make a big pot of soup or stew on Sunday, and freeze it in individual portion containers. With the soup, I'll have a piece of cheese and some kind of fruit. Other days I'll have a packet of Wholly Guacamole and tortilla chips plus Greek yogurt and some kind of fruit. I also like big salads loaded with spinach, romaine, carrots, peppers, mushrooms, chicken. etc.

    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..
