I've been using Plantoeat.com for a while now and find it really helpful to sort out when I will make food and when I will eat the leftovers (as there are almost always leftovers). Plus it allows me to prep my grocery list from what I've planned. Anyway, here's what's on the menu this week for dinner. Breakfast and lunch are usually a grab as you go but sometimes involve leftovers from dinners.
Monday - Grilled Shrimp Skewers with Charred Asparagus and Snap Peas + Brown Rice (http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/grilled-shrimp-skewers-charred-asparagus-snap-peas)
Tuesday - Garlic Seasoned Baked Pork Chops + Potato Packets (http://allrecipes.com/recipe/232723/garlic-seasoned-baked-pork-chops/)
Wednesday - likely dinner out with clients
Thursday - Cauliflower Mac & Cheese + maybe some extra veggies (http://blog.myfitnesspal.com/cauliflower-mac-n-cheese/)
Friday - Packaged stuffed chicken breasts + broccoli + brown rice2 -

This week I roasted a chicken (good for several meals), made black bean soup and sauteed swiss chard and baked acorn squash. Breakfast is usually oatmeal, lunch is 1/2 sandwich (either pbj or chicken) and piece of fruit or soup. Tomorrow I'm making red lentil soup. I'm single, so this is enough for several days. Snacks are either apple with peanut butter or I may make some hummus.0

I am always on the run and I'm very basic with my foods. Breakfast is always eggs or plain yogurt/mixed nuts always with 5 oz of fruit. Lunch will often be homemade meatballs (ground chicken or venison) along with organic baby carrots and 5 oz of fruit or Ill grab lean deli meat for the protein portion. Dinner can vary depending whether ive been home the last couple nights. I make a lot of chili or Hamburger soup and freeze it, so that's easy to grab and thaw, or 'Pure organic Vega Greens protein bar' with veggies and fruit on the side.0

My lunches are fairly static, I change the sauces (usually Sweet Sriracha Honey BBQ), and flavoring of veggies (as well as the veggies) usually.
4oz chicken thigh (boneless/skinless) with either a roasted poblano pepper, or green chili thai curry sauce
1/2 serving corn with garlic powder
1/2 serving peas with white pepper
1 serving cauliflower with 21 seasoning salute0 -
This is my excel spreadsheet for the week. Goal is net 1510 calories and I usually add ~200 calories through exercise most days, hence why some days are over 1510 and some are right at it.

Oatmeal and strawberries for breakfast alternate between that and vegtable omelette through the week weekends I make pancakes healthy version ofcourse with whole wheat flour and I add banana
Lunch is a salad or vegtable pita sandwich I switch it up
Snacks are either fruits or yogurt in the morning nuts or veg in the afternoon
Dinner is a lean meat with veg
Tomorrow for dinner I am marinating boneless chicken in a special sauce I made and I'll have asparagus on the side
That's usually the gist of it
As long as the meals are between 400-450 cals and snacks 100-150 I'm fine my chest days are Saturday's but I'm so use to eating healthy cheat day is usually a vegtable pizza from my favorite restaurant

During the week breakfast is usually oatmeal or scrambled egg with toast. Most mornings we drink a green smoothie with breakfast. Weekend breakfasts we usually make whole wheat blueberry pancakes or veggie omelets. Sometimes we throw in some bacon or sausage but it's not typical.
Lunch is almost always leftovers but I keep avocado and hardboiled egg on hand in a pinch. I also like to keep some home-made convenience foods in the freezer, like bean burritos or lentil meatloaf cups (that's what I have in there currently).
Dinner is planned out:
Lentil and Spinach Coconut Curry with rice
Chili with fritos and cheese
Shrimp Gumbo with brown rice
Carrot, Cabbage, and Chicken Stirfry with brown rice
Veggie kabobs with meatballs and brown rice
Fish Tacos with cabbage slaw
Black beans and millet bake with sweet potato
German potato salad, sweet/sour red cabbage, and pork chop
Frozen Pizza
Veggie burgers with sweet potato fries
Spaghetti with turkey meatsauce and vegetables
We don't normally have so many meals planned out at once but I was organizing my freezer/pantry and decided to use up some stuff we had on hand.0 -
Spanikopita for breakfast - Monday to Friday.
Eggs, greek yogurt and cappuccinno for lunch - Monday to Friday.
Whatever my husband cooks for supper (protein and veggies, normally) for sup with enough carbs to max out my calories load - Sunday to Thursday.
Weekends are more flexible.
Exercise - walking 75 minutes per day, minimum.0 -
