    For the most part.

    I have a cup of coffee and a protein shake for breakfast and some type of kale/spinach & fruit smoothie for lunch. We change up our sensible dinners every night.

    I have the same thing every day, for ease. I have my breakfast in work because I don't really feel like eating when I first wake up. I have toast (wholemeal bread) with low fat soft cheese. Helps me get my daily calcium levels up too.

    Pretty much. There are basically only 4-5 things I cook. Two of them are dedicated breakfast meals and the other three are lunch/dinner meals. I cycle between them and when I cook dinner I prepare a second serving that is my lunch the following day.

    I kind of do and kind of don't.... I have about 3 things in my breakfast menu... I like them all, so it's not boring to just stick to those 3. And for lunch I either eat leftovers from the night before ( that's easy ) or I have 3 or 4 things that are my usual lunch choice. As long as it tastes good, you don't get tired of it. I like that my grocery shopping is easier that way and I'm not wasting time trying to think up some new thing to eat.:smile:

    I do but thats because I am one person and 1 box of raisin bran goes a long way. I have leftovers constantly, because again I am only one person. I think it can be damaging in the long term because "oh damn yogurt....AGAIN? How about a donut instead..." A little variety is good. DO whatever works for you.

    It's my understanding that in order for your body to adequately use the extra protein you provide it, it 1) should be within 20 mins of the muscle building exercise and 2) is mostly easily accessed if it's a protein isolate (as opposed to a solid food source i.e. meats, etc due to the length of time it takes to break it down).

    I personally have to change up my meals, but I always plan ahead. If I don't plan ahead, I end up skipping a meal (bad idea!) or eating poorly (also a bad idea!). :) I eat a lot of eggs, a lot of nitrate free ham or turkey and veggies.

    Ultimately, I think these people are all saying that they made a decision that works for them.

    Good luck you you! :)

    Breakfast
    Monday through Friday, I tend to eat PB + Bread in the car on my way to work with a cup of coffee.
    Sunday's is the day I show off my omelet skills to my wife every week and remind her why she married me.
    Saturday is a bowl of cereal and the leftovers of whatever my kids didn't finish.

    Lunch is whatever I can get my hands on. I plan whatever I can but I go by a couple guidelines:
    Vegetarian day on Tuesday and Thursday.
    Keep it low sodium.
    Try to eat half the portion and save the other half for dinner.

    Snack:
    Might be the other half of lunch.
    When totaled, Is sometimes just as many calories as a meal.

    I try to use the food log to plan my food for the day. Dinner is predictable. Bowl of rice with veggies and lean protein.

    I have a fairly consistent breakfast, but I HAVE to mix it up for lunch and dinner. I need variety!

    I tend to eat the same things generally for a week or two, then I try and mix it up a little. That way, it's very easy on a daily basis but I don't get bored.

    This is what I do. Breakfast is the same Mon-Fri (hard boiled egg, turkey bacon and coffee). Lunch and snacks Mon-Fri I ususally pick a few items and go with them for at least a week. Salads, sandwiches, or soup usually for lunch. Snacks are yogurt, fruit, veggies, cheese or crackers.

    I will eat the same thing for breakfast and lunch for weeks on end. Then I'll get tired of it and switch to something else.

    Has nothing to do with dieting or whatnot, it's just how I've always been.

    Weekday breakfasts are:
    1. Coffee, cream only, no sugar
    2. One of three flavors of Greek yogurt
    3. Splitting a bagel with my wife (one of four flavors)
    Not a lot of variety, but enough

    Later breakfast snack of fruit, but if still hungry, another Greek yogurt

    Weekday lunches
    1 cup of rice, some meat and vegie item 90% of the time-
    because my mother-in-law, born in China lives with us and makes our lunches 90% of the time.

    Pretty much -- at least during the week.

    My weekday lunches are: greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or plain oatmeal

    My weekday midmorning snack is: 6 ritz low sodium crackers with a light laughing cow cheese wedge.

    It gets me started on the right foot and I look forward to it every day

    I love two egg whites (cooked in the microwave in a small round ramekin), english muffin, ff cheese (basically a homemade egg mcmuffin without canadian bacon and full fat cheese) and a ruby red grapefuit. Love it!

    My breakfast switches between cereal, oatmeal, toast (all paired with fruit)

    My lunches are pretty consistent. I usually have salads with additional of some kind of protein (chicken breast, turkey burger, eggs)

    My dinners are sometimes the same as my lunches and sometimes I will just eat some kind of protein (see above) with vegetables. Occasionally ill make a veggie pasta.

    I'm pretty picky with food but I'm trying to switch up and have variety.

    It generally ends up being mostly the same things on work days one week but by the next week I'm incredibly bored and have to mix it up. I do that because it's easy to buy a big tub of Greek yogurt and cheap to make a big batch of soup. No other reason. I think you need to do what works for you. Planning is more important than anything... So that you don't get caught out.
