    It varies but today's quite typical

    Breakfast: Porridge oats, with skim milk and some orange blossom honey
    Lunch: Parma Ham in wholemeal pitta, low fat yoghurt
    Dinner: some roast chicken breast with side salad
    Snacks: Nuts, raisins, a small apple and a satsuma (spaced out throughout the day)
    And a protein shake after my workout (about an hour before dinner).

    A bad day for me would be very similar to the above, but with a chocolate bar or a bag of crisps thrown in as a snack instead of the healthy things. Luckily I don't have days like that too often :)

    My diary's public, but in brief

    Breakfast - bran flakes or fruit and fibre with milk + a glass of orange juice, or a cup of tea, or a glass of no sugar squash

    Lunch - sandwich, wrap or salad with yoghurt + fruit

    Dinner - chicken or fish or meat with veg (very very few potatoes), or possibly a small portion of rice, or pasta with LOTS of veg to spread the pasta out

    Snack - yoghurt or fruit

    On an average day my breakfast is usually 1/2 small slice wholemeal toast with peanut butter, a small (children's) yoghurt and a rice cake with humous.

    Lunch is normally something like scrambled egg on wholemeal toast / beans on toast / soup and small roll / chicken salad

    Dinner is normally white meat (turkey or chicken) with small amount of carbs (new potatoes or wholemeal pasta) and stir-fried veg or salad. I do lots of stir-fries...

    I use lots of herbs and spices to jazz up my rather bland sounding meals though. My current fave is chilli chicken and balsamic new potaotes! Yum!

    lunch (or post-workout breakfast, whichever name for it works for you)
    half a banana, a cup-ish of frozen berries and half a cup of the Trop 50 Tropicana apple juice in a smoothie (sometimes I add a tbs of flax seeds to that too, yum!)

    dinner (orrr late lunch, again, which ever works for you)
    chicken breast (4-6ounces) marinated in a tablespoon of Mediterranean Greek Vinaigrette dressing (yum!), 125-ish grams of rice and/or five spears of grilled asparagus (with another tbs of the dressing on top) and/or half a cup of grilled or steamed broccoli.

    Snacks (if I feel the need)

    cheese string
    light hummus and half a pita
    fruit (watermelon and bananas are my favourite, berries, apples, grapefruit, whatever I have on hand.)

    I'm kind of a calcium and/or fruit fiend though, I crave it ALLL the time.
