What is an example of what you eat in a day for weight loss?

Breakfast_ egg white omelet with lots of chopped veggies and maybe some cheese, or a protein shake with fresh berries, or with unsweetened cocoa powder and peanut butter. On a rare occasion I have a bowl of cold cereal with high fiber like cherrios or raisin bran, in the winter I may have oatmeal with apples and or cinnamon
Lunch_ sandwich on low carb tortilla, or some grilled chicken or tuna salad, with a salad (Oscar Mayer has a "Sandwich Kit" with turkey and ham meant for subs, but 4 slices is only 60 calories and they taste really good and make a good nice little rolled sandwich on the Mission Brand Carb Smart tortilla I use Hellman's Egg Free Mayo or swipe of mustard and fresh lettuce and tomato
Dinner- 4-6 oz chicken, turkey, or fish with 2-3 fresh veggies and usually a small salad that I eat first with no more than 1TBS of salad dressing (regular, I never eat low cal because of the sugar and salt content- I usually make my own)
Snacks- large pink lady apple, 1 oz mini pretzels, cheese sticks or slices of very flavorful cheese like provolone or sharp cheddar (no more than 100 calories) sugar free jello with or without fruit, watermelon chucks or grapes (occasionally)
I eat higher protein and lower carb because I'm pre-diabetic and I try to keep my carbs around 100 grams per day or less to control my HA1C level, so the fruit is based on my carb count for the day. And the number of snacks, and which ones I have are based on my macros and my hunger levels

Yesterday:
Breakfast - 1 egg + 1/2 cup egg whites over 1/2 cup of ground turkey (cooked in taco seasoning on weekend), pico de gallo on top
Lunch - leftover turkey & brussel sprouts
Aft: protein shake (1.5 scoops powder, 6oz water, 6 oz unsweetened coconut milk, ice, handful of spinach leaves)
Dinner - leftover turkey + 1/2 cup mashed potatoes + roasted carrots

Today:

Breakfast: 3 eggs, 1 padron pepper, 1 slice American cheese, 2 slices wheat toast
Lunch: 1 Pork chop and mixed veggies
Snack: Protein bar
Dinner: Steak and zucchini

Yesterday was coffee for breakfast, with sweetener and half and half.
Lunch was a portion of a mushroom and broccoli frittata, single serve yogurt and a black plum.
Dinner was a taco salad - 3 cups of romaine, ground beef, onions, garlic, grape tomatoes, salsa and sour cream, and two pork ribs in bbq sauce.
Snack was 80 grams of Special K cracker chips (bbq flavour) and a cup of tea with skim milk and sweetener.
Total calories were less than 1200 but more than 1000.

Danggg @Dano74 .. come cook for me !

I'm bulking atm, but I typically eat the same things when I am losing, just less carbs at lunch I guess.

Breakfast: Two slices of toast with peanut butter and jam, a coffee
Snack: Maybe a fibre 1 bar or Greek yogurt with fruit
Lunch: Two egg and egg white omelet with spinach or kale and cheddar cheese, with cottage cheese or turkey sticks
Snack: Protein bar or protein mug cake with fruit
Dinner: A protein (chicken, fish, beef) with veggies (zucchini, broccoli, asparagus) and a carb (pasta, rice, freekeh, polenta, potatoes etc) and a green salad with olive oil and balsamic, all with wine of course
Dessert: Whatever fits... real ice cream or skinnycow ice cream, cereal (usually cocoa krispies) popcorn, donuts etc.

Breakfast: pumkin spice oatmeal (1/3 cups of organic oats, 1/4 cup of unsweetened almond milk and organic pumpkin purée, pumpkin spice, .5 ounce of walnuts)
1/4 of milk for my coffee
224 calories

1/2 scoop of organic chocolate protein powder
1/2 cup of almond milk unsweetened

Today I had a Kind bar for breakfast, salad (4oz chicken, romaine lettuce, grape tomatoes, cheddar cheese, walnuts, bacon and Chipolte ranch dressing) for lunch, a bowl of chili w/ beans topped with sour cream and cheddar for supper. I am under 1200 calories so far today so I will have a snack later. Maybe a bowl of ice cream or a piece of dark chocolate, or perhaps pretzel crisps and hummus.
