Whats your go to bfast and lunch?

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

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!

M-F
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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!
