    I'm at maintenance and I work from home so this makes it easier for me to prepare meals. Eating larger meals less frequently work for me.

    I start eating when I get hungry which is around 10am, then I spread out the other 2 meals between 4 - 5 hours. I don't snack because my meals keep me satisfied until the next meal and I stop eating after dinner.

    Also I plan out my menu the night before in my food journal. Planning ahead helps to keep me on track, space out my macros and fit treats in.

    I love to cook so my meals vary greatly day to day, but this is how my day today is looking:

    Meal 1: A high calorie protein smoothie (chocolate/banana/peanut butter/spinach), along with a bowl of cereal and a kiwi.

    Meal 2: Avocado toast with a sliced boiled egg and seasonings on rye bread, 1 serving of unsalted cashews with a nectarine and some cherries.

    Meal 3: A garden salad (with tomatoes, cucumbers, celery, radishes, green onions, mushrooms, boiled egg, homemade croutons and homemade salad dressing), veggie burger, homemade baked fries and 2 servings of lemon sorbet.

    I've lost about half of my 80 pounds eating this way and has made maintaining my weight for over 3 years easy.

    lunch tons of veggies, shrooms especially for potassium as i get leg cramps from cardio plus meat/fish

    I have lost 16 lbs in less than 1 month.
    9:00am : 2 eggs, english muffin, piece of fruit,water
    12:30 noon: protein (fish filet, chicken breast, etc) with veggies,fruit and possibly some carbs
    3:00pm: granola bar /piece of fruit / rice cake with peanut butter
    6:00 pm: big smoothie with berries, protein powder, banana and almond milk.

    If i work out I have a bigger snack at 3. This usually averages out to 1200 - 1500 calories . 1500 if i work out.
    I try not to eat after 7pm but if my stomach is hurting from hunger (happened once or twice) i have some veggies & unsweetened applesauce.
