Do any of you have go-to meals you eat almost every day? I eat some form of cereal and milk every morning. Dinner is always a slice of bread with a good deal of protein with cheese melted over. My snacks are always 2 protein shakes.

I only vary my lunch, and my desserts. And of course the type of cereal I eat, and the type of protein I have with my dinner.

    Almost everyday I eat the same breakfast and lunch... Hard boiled eggs for breakfast and a home-made salad for lunch. My usual desserts are a vitatop muffin (chocolate of course) topped with fat free whip cream.

    I suppose I have a bit of variety with my breakfast/lunch/dinner, but I make and weigh my snacks in bulk on Sunday, so throughout the week my snacks are pretty routine - roasted chickpeas, homemade granola bars, trail mix, etc.

    Breakfast - (Sometimes) 2 rice cakes - 100cals
    Lunch - Rotisserie chicken on wheat - 150cals
    Dinner - Pretty much anything, minus or light on the carbs.
    Dessert - ~1000cals of beer

    Hahaha! Nice. But I don't drink alcohol, so for me it will be cake, chocolate , pizza or cookies.

    Breakfast and snack is pretty much the same every day. Lunch varies on what leftovers I have from the night before.

    Breakfast: 2-3 eggs scrambled or omelette with some sort of meat topped with either sour cream, or cream cheese, or shredded cheese. Coffee 1 tblspn of butter and a splenda or truvia packet.

    High protein/fat breakfast helps keep me full through the day and I consume allot less calories through the day than if I have cereal.

    Snack: Half an avacado, or V8, or Pepperoni

    Dinner: Is almost always some meat with side of veggies.

    I also need a lot of protein to keep me full. But then, its only an hour after eating the cereal that I drink a protein shake which does the trick. Maybe I'm just used to it? :)

    I do this also. Except I don't weigh my snacks anymore. What I do is, I look at the total amount in the package, and at the serving size. Then divide them roughly. It averages out over the week anyhow. For example: 100grams of nuts, 25grams per serving. So 100÷25 = 4 servings.

    During the week I stay very strict, plain and the same. Oatmeal, chicken breast, rice, broccoli & protein shakes. Weekends I like to mix it up a little; omelets, protein pancakes, low-cal tacos, turkey burgers...

    When I had cereal or oatmeal or some other "healthy breakfast" I was starving by 10:30 so I have a snack and then hungry again by noon. With the breakfast I eat now I am good to go until 1 or 1:30 before eating again. But there is something wrong with my system and carbs not sure what it is.

    For the most part, two large eggs scrambled, spinach tortilla, glass of milk and banana.

    Tofu - it's cheap, high in protein, easy and fast to make, and tastes great.

    To be fair, I don't pay much attention to my own hunger signals.

    I have set times that I eat. So its a habit. I used to eat 3 meals a day with sweets as snacks inbetween and soda. I cut out the snacks and soda, viola, calorie deficit. Which equalled weight loss. So I got into the habit of eating 3 square meals a day at set times. (My schedule allows it)

    I only added 2 protein shakes as snacks a month ago. Because I'm cutting now, and not getting enough protein through my meals. :)

    I also do the oats and protein powder thing. :) I just leave off the almond butter and eat fruit on the side.
