Seriously. I would die if I ate that little at lunch.

I decide that this time it's going to be different. That this time, i won't restrict my foods. That this time I won't arbitrarily label foods as "good" or "bad" or "healthy" or "unhealthy." That I won't cook separate meals. That I won't sit and eat some boring, tasteless thing while my family enjoy pizza or whatever else they want. That eating out IS an option. That I am not on a diet, but rather I have begun the process of fundamentally changing how I view food. And, with all that said and put in practice, I eat all the foods I love. I cook the recipes my family enjoys. I just make steps to be sure that my portions are accurate and reasonable. I love it!!!

Yesterday for breakfast I had a mushroom, onion, red pepper, roasted sweet potato fritatta, with 2 pieces of toast and butter followed by full fat greek yogurt with some frozen blueberries and strawberries.

Lunch was panco breaded pickerel that I caught ice fishing cooked in duck fat.....I had some fortunately.....with a medley of roasted veg and an apple.

Dinner was duck confit poutine that had cheese curds from a local cheese company and the gravy was from the duck I've recently used in a few recipes.

Later on 1/2 pint of Hagen Daz rockey road.

I just had some really nice soup. Pea and Spinach
and a massive yoghurt

Everything.

Today the plan is a couple of scrambled eggs with leftover chili for breakfast, oatmeal with greek yogurt, honey and berries for lunch, bbq chicken sandwiches for dinner with sweet potato fries. And snacks in between...no idea what those will be yet. And a protein shake after I lift.

I wouldn't mind eating some asian out today. Take-out that is

Let's meet for lunch! Oh wait...I'm Caucasian. Sorry.

Yesterday Breakfast was a fried egg (used cooking spray) on an English muffin, Yogurt, fresh pineapple, a
Lunch was a spinach salad with half a boiled egg, diced turkey and salad dressing
Dinner was grilled chicken, green beans, carrots, a dinner roll and some strawberries with lowcal whipped cream for desert

Yeah an all you can eat buffet would be the ticket. :smokin:

I'm a creature of habit, in large part because I stay pretty busy throughout the day, so my usual breakfast is a muffin made from flax seed, a big salad for lunch and then dinner is some sort of meat plus 1-2 veggies (depending on remaining macros). Weekends I switch it up a bit because I have more time to cook, but otherwise I stay pretty consistent.

I eat all the foods I like and just make them fit within my goals

Eat whatever you like as long as the portions fit into your daily calorie goal!

Here's a typical day for me this week:
Breakfast:
Dunkin Donuts breakfast sandwich (egg white flatbread if I'm trying to keep calories low, bacon egg & cheese on bagel if I know I'm getting a good burn in that day) medium coffee with skim and 2 splenda

Snack:
Pure Protein chocolate peanut butter bar

Lunch:
leftovers from dinner or ham/turkey wrap and an apple

Snack - grazing through the afternoon
banana, greek yogurt and steel cut oatmeal with raisins

Dinner:
Casserole or meat and potatoes and veggie, sometimes pizza or thai food

Eating only yogurt and/or an apple for lunch, I would be so hangry in the afternoon that I would probably lose my job.

My diary is not public for a few reasons, but occasionally I wish it was so I could share my meal ideas (the better ones anyway) hehe

Yesterday I ate:

hard-boiled egg
1/2 portion steel cut oats (cooked in milk-water mixture the day before)
a few black walnut pieces
sugar-free maple flavored syrup drizzled over top of oats
coffee w/ 1 packet sweetener and a splash of 1% milk

Aldi Simply Nature southwestern fresca entrée (I don't eat frozen entrees often though! Too much sodium for my liking)...pasta with a creamy southwest flavored sauce, broccoli, beans, carrots, corn, etc.
1 cup salad mix (lettuce, cabbage, carrots)
mini size Ben & Jerry's raspberry dark chocolate frozen yogurt (180 cal)

2 small size flour tortillas
1/2 avocado
2 TBSP garlic lover's hummus
handfuls of baby spinach
sprinkling of edamame, cilantro, and drained & rinsed black beans
12 oz bottle regular Coca-Cola (I drink this like 3-4 times a year because I think it is delicious)

another cup of coffee with sweetener & splash of 1% milk

I struggle eating breakfast on a work day so i manage a bit of fruit with some yogurt or this morning it was breakfast biscuits with a banana.

Lunch i tend to have salad with some form of protein (chicken, prawns or seafood sticks seem to be a fave of mine) although today i made jerk veg soup and had that with a slice of bread.

Dinners tend to be 4/5 portions of veg with some form of protein again, normally turkey/tuna/chicken. I seem to allow myself 2 meals a week which have pasta/ potatoes involved.

i do snack between meals so i try to keep my meals low in calorie so i can make up for it in snacks as i know thats where my weakness lies.

Im eating pretty much anything tbh, ive cut bread out mostly as i could eat it forever so its easier if i dont have it. Ohh and ive stopped eating ice cream!!

The only thing I have totally cut out from my diet is fizzy drinks and take aways- I used to be addicted to pepsi and dr pepper and I really think this was my main issue for my weight. And we were having a least 1 take away a week.

I don't limit myself with other foods, I just make sure my portions are enough for what i need so I am not over eating

Like this morning, I had a 'fry up' but only thing fried was the egg. I had low fat sausages, mushrooms, beans, 1 piece of wholemeal toast, and an egg. All for 400 calories!
