What's your eating plan like?

If your main goal is to loose weight then eat whatever you want as long as you are in a calorie deficit.

Ditto. When you keep sticking to the same foods (a baked chicken breast and a side of veggies is the go-to with many people), you'll get bored and start hating the way you eat.

I will eat pretty much anything I want. Sometimes it's eggs, sometimes lean meats, sometimes a burger from McDonald's. As long as it fits in your daily plan and you're happy, it will be much easier. That said, having a side of vegetables will be helpful in making you feel fuller at a meal with less calories. And I always keep turkey dogs on hand for when I'm starving. They're not great for you, but have a lot of protein, not too many calories, and taste delicious...

Edited to add: And don't be afraid of carbs. I eat them all the time.

At this point I'm just eating what I want but counting. Over time when we do this we tend to (in general) start to choose healthy foods that keep us fuller longer but I am a big believer in everything in moderation for the pure fact that for ME having a set plan, set goals of what I can and can't eat etc... seems to always set me up for failure. When I get too obsessed with it I start to get into the all or nothing thinking frame of mind. I'm sure not everyone is like that but I sure am.

I do try to make sure I have 3 meals and a few snacks a day but even then sometimes it's just not how it happens. I've gained and lost weight on "plans" so this time I'm trying to just keep it simple. Just me though, everyone seems to have their own way that works best for their personality and lifestyle!

I eat what I like when I like just slightly less than I used to. Seems to be working so far!

I know not a lot of people agree with this, but I'm on high protein, no carb diet. I try and stick to less than 50g carbs a day.
I tried the "eat anything you want as long as you stay under your calories a day"... did not work for me. Low carb, high protein is the only thing that has ever worked! I've been doing Dukan diet for ages, Its easy, I'm never hungry, and I've lost a lot of weight. That saying, what type of meal plan are you looking for, because that will also change whatever you eat and what you should include. Good luck

I'm happy to share, as long as I don't get the usual 'you're not eating enough'. I feel fine, have plenty of energy and not hungry at all.

Breakfast - Banana

Lunch - sandwich usually on wholemeal bread, 2 slices and usually chicken with some light mayo and rocket (no butter)

Dinner - usually between 250-450 calories

Snacks - banana, 2 satsumas, kiwi, red seedless grapes, nectarine (usually about 5-6 bits)

Water - 8-10 glasses

Exercise - 900cal 5days a week

I have my fruit spread throughout the day along with the water which prevents me from feeling hungry.

Calories eaten usually about 900-1000

You post advice like that and you're going to get plenty of the usual 'you're not eating enough'. You eat 900cals and burn off 900cals. Smart move.

My eating plan is very simple: Everything with measure and in balance. Which is why I think it works :-) I am not denying myself anything, I just limit the amount I eat/drink of it and fit it into my daily allowance. I happily go out for a three course meal if I have saved up a few calories during the day and know I will exercise the next and I pick something that will satisfy but not kill the hard work of the week.

'You post advice like that and you're going to get plenty of the usual 'you're not eating enough'. You eat 900cals and burn off 900cals. Smart move.'

It's not advice, she asked other peoples plans, this is what I do. I've been set a low calorie goal of 1300 by mfp, I try to eat it but if I'm not hungry I'm not going to eat. I don't eat back my exercise, some people do some people don't. Fat is going down muscle not been reduced as weights are included.

It's a strict diet yes I admit that

Mine is usually:

* 200 calories for breakfast (this morning was 400, but that's because I'm starting to see how I can push the limits and also because my lunch is less than usual!!). This is usually oats porridge, but lately I've been having cereal and other things too.
* 600 calories for lunch (this is often a sandwich bought from a shop, or a meal deal if the sandwich is a bit less calories - e.g. sandwich + a packet of pretzels or light snacks).
* 700 to 800 calories for dinner. This usually consists of around 80g (uncooked weight) of carbs, some protein and the rest is veggies (unless of course I'm doing a microwave meal).

If I want to have wine with dinner, I bargain on 500 calories (yes, that's a bottle!!!), so I might either have a little bit of a lighter lunch or a lighter dinner and possibly do a bit of extra walking for the day (walk to the tube stop instead of taking the bus).

If I am not having wine, the remainder of calories go into snacks and fruit - I always have Babybel cheese, Snack a Jacks and Sunbites around. And if I was really good during the day and depending on how many snacks I had, I will have a Kinder Bueno (or half if I don't have enough calories).
