What do your meals look like (show me pictures)....

Marinated, grilled chicken breast. Pesto. Goat cheese. Lettuce (I was out of spinach!). Roasted red pepper. All on a toasted sub. Omnomnom.

What a neat topic! Do you ever include nutritional content?

I blog my meal pictures here http://aldousmom.tumblr.com/ they come straight from my phone as I have them, so they're not on a pic hosting site.

This is a recent and favorite dinner: tempeh with vegetables (green beans and broccoli) in spicy peanut sauce, over rice noodles. A little higher in fat than my usual meal, but I use this kind of meal during a hard training week b/c I need the calories. Still no added fat to it, though.

So healthy and delish Paleo sushi anyone?
This is done with home smoked salmon mixed with home mayo and sriracha, with avocado, cucumber, red cabbage and carrot for crunch all rolled in nori sheets. With a side of Tamari and wasabi.

Just like the cavemen used to eat!

Though they all look very delicious, some of these don't look very healthy. Are they healthy versions of favorites? Or are some foods you've had on cheat days?
Recipes would be greatly appreciated too. Sorry, just getting back on here again ... still a newbie with many questions.
Thanks in advance.

Different people have different definitions of healthy and different goals for this site. People are generally willing to share recipes if you see something specific you want to ask about. Personally I don't have cheat days, I figure out ways to fit the food I like in every day. That includes wine and sweets. Yesterday I had pizza and this morning I had a donut with breakfast. That may not fit your definition of healthy but it hasn't hindered me from reaching my goals.

you are right alot of it is not low cal, and alot of sugars. some of the food is low cal. I agree much of it is processed Standard American Diet. Many believe real food is not that important if you eat the fake stuff in "moderation" . They find ways to fit their poptarts, waffles, candy bars etc

Porridge

Weekends are turning out to be rather dangerous. Am eating way too much! Beef lasagna, pizzelles & glutinous rice balls for dessert

Saturday is always brunch day! Everything is pretty self-explanatory I think. The smoothie has apple, mango, banana, spinach, and agave, I think, and is just blended with ice and water.

Cooked a pot roast and some veggies in the crockpot last night. Turned out really good.

Chocolate salted caramel cookie sandwich. Pineapple carrot cake with cream cheese icing, raspberry white chocolate chiffon cake. Cranberry white chocolate custard brioche (not sexy looking, but so delicious!).

Greek yogurt. Chia seeds, fresh passion fruit, bananas. Dash of cinnamon and nutmeg.
The cream kinda soup base around the yogurt (looks like a moat) is a thick mix of vanilla whey protein + milk. Just adds that sweetness to the yogurt.
