    You know when you're on MFP when people talk what are your favorite macro sources and not just use the word "foods."

    I basically have the same schedule for breakfast and rotate a few things for dinner and snacks;

    breakfast
    - kind bar (almond)
    - 2 eggs + spicy chicken sausage

    snack 1
    - protein shake with skim milk (after workout)

    dinners
    - crockpot shredded chicken salsa + small corn tortillas
    - extra lean ground turkey + onions/garlic and black beans (sometimes with kale) + corn tortillas (and tons of hot sauce)
    - occasionally some random noodleless "stir fry" heavy on veggies and very low calories, or a chicken breast + tons of veggies

    snack 2 varies. often;
    - 30 almonds + 1 cup blueberries
    - half cup skim cottage cheese + 1cup strawberries

    then I'll toss in some string cheese or some other randomness. I have some really low cal filling options like dill pickles + hot pickled okra and spicy mustard + a slice of turkey breast - but often its almonds+blueberries.

    I rarely feel hungry and stick around 1500 calories lately. Until I quit losing I don't see a reason to change things up!

    Carbs: Veggies, fruit, cider.
    Protein: Turkey meat, eggs, bacon (mmmm, bacon.)
    Fats: Eggs, bacon, cheese.

    Now all I need to do is find some good sources of fibre. (I'm getting sick of baked beans for breakfast!)

    Going off my most frequent food list, and fudging a little to account for stuff that doesn't fit quite right, they are:

    Carbs - Tomatoes, cherries, asparagus...though that's totally seasonal and would be really different in February
    Protein - chicken breast, bacon (does that count as protein? lol), and goat cheese
    Fat - Olive oil, butter....and I guess that's it. That's all I pretty much cook with.
