What does an average day of meals look like for you?

Little to no breakfast and lunch.
Huge dinner.
Sometimes a snack or a drink.

Breakfast 3 eggs or 2 eggs and 1 turkey sausage patty
Lunch; A Huge salad with 4 ounces of chicken and lots of veggies. Either sour cream and salsa or blue cheese dressing.
Dinner 4 ounces of meat and lots of veggies.
Snacks: fruit or popcorn

Breakfast: homemade multigrain waffle with almond butter and whatever fresh fruit is around. Decaf coffee sometimes. Usually around 450 calories.
Lunch: an avocado with TrueLime garlic cilantro sprinkle and some sugar snap peas. Usually with some legume-based entree (black beans, lentil soup, falafel) or a plain full fat Greek yogurt with frozen triple berry blend and flax (sometimes with cooked steel-cut oats added) or some extra veggies or hard-boiled eggs. Sometimes some meat / fish / poultry. Usually around 550 calories; I try to be at 1,000-1,100 after lunch.
Dinner: a romaine heart dressed with diced tomato / fresh mozzarella / pesto / balsamic vinegar (150-400 calories, depending on whether this is the entree or just vegetable). Similar protein options as lunch, but there's more likely to be an animal protein at dinner; sometimes I just put extra cheese on my salad. Depends on how many calories I still need.
Snacks: a handful of almonds, or a Costco nut bar, or a slice of homemade flax bread with a stick of cheddar cheese, or fresh fruit. I might have 2-4 snacks a day, of ~200 calories each.

I usually eat 1,800-2,200 calories a day, depending on mood and exercise.

Pre-workout: tea with honey and collagen

Breakfast: eggs, toast, butter, vegetables (usually mushrooms, onions and spinach or peppers), coffee with half and half. Sometimes cheese or cottage cheese in the eggs.

Lunch: some sort of meat/veg/starch -today was broccoli and seafood chowder; tomorrow is salmon with tomatoes, okra and cauliflower

Dinner: some sort of meat/veg/starch - today was chicken broccoli casserole with carrots and tomorrow is chicken with a mushroom cream sauce with wild rice and green beans

Snacks: whole milk matcha latte today. Maybe some dark chocolate tonight. Often cottage cheese or Greek yogurt or some kind of meat such as turkey slices or sardines if I'm short on protein. Fruit or sweet potato if I need carbs. Konjac noodles with vegetables and sauce in some form if I have few calories and am hungry.

My days aren't nearly as impressive but:

Breakfast: Banana and coffee pre workout and whole wheat tortilla with some cheese post workout (occasionally a protein smoothie instead).

Lunch: Huge salad
Snack: Protein bar and fruit or nothing

Dinner: Random pre-made junk or pasta or gardein/boca item and usually an entire bag of frozen veggies

Night: Ice cream and chips or crackers or popcorn and some kind of candy. Sometimes fruit

I eat pretty light during the day and consume about 2/3 of my calories after lunch, I like to munch at night. I force down salad and fruit and most of my other food is easy pre-made style foods. This is a TYPICAL day. Yesterday I literally had pizza 3 separate times during the day. I'm a little jealous of the other people on this thread.

Same as this. I'm never really that hungry until evening time.

Good topic - I am gluten free so I've learned to find interesting substitutions. Here's my diary for today:

Breakfast: cauliflower porridge with apples and cinnamon, 2 pieces of turkey sausage, scrambled eggs with feta, spinach and tomato, topped off with a cuppa English Breakfast tea with cashew milk and maple syrup

Lunch: huge salad with chopped ham, feta, apple, tomato, cucumber and a fruity vinagriette. A couple pieces of chocolate, plain cottage cheese, a few sweet gherkin pickles, 1/4 cup of sauerkraut (good for my gut), and a hard boiled egg with yellow mustard

Dinner: lean ground turkey on a homemade flax seed bun, some bean chips, and a big salad with olives, peppers, cucumber and tomato

Post workout: I always have a few homemade mini protein cups - basically pb2 and protein powder mixed with cashew milk and frozen in mini muffin tins

Potential snacks if needed: trail mix, fruit (frozen grapes are my go to right now), mozz cheese sticks, turkey jerky

Edit: adds up to between 1600-2000 calories a day - dependent on my activity level, boredom level and hunger level.

Breakfast: original Cheerios, skim milk with a banana cut up in the cereal
Mid-morning snack: hardboiled egg
Lunch: lean deli meat or chicken, low-fat cheese on a sandwich thin w/ spinach, tomato and a bit of spicy mustard; reduced fat cheez-its and an apple
Afternoon snack - carrots and hummus
Dinner: whatever protein my family is eating, or maybe a fast-food hamburger, but always balanced with a big salad that takes up half my plate. I always make a carb for them like potatoes, but I only have a few bites.

Sometimes I'll have a Pure Protein or Quest bar if I'm working out heavily that day.

Total about 1500 calories.

1st breakfast (before workout): Whole milk yogurt, banana, ground flax or sliced almonds, coffee.

2nd Breakfast: 1 or 2 fried eggs on whole wheat toast, occasionally salsa. Or a homemade Egg McMuffin. More coffee.

Late lunch: Wasa crackers, cheddar, turkey, random fruits, carrots and/or broccoli, hummus.

Dinner: Various things. Last night, a taco salad. Tonight, baked chicken, green beans, mashed potatoes. Tomorrow: Chinese pork & cabbage over brown rice.

Evening: Snacks like dried fruit and/or nuts, cheese, dark chocolate.

Tea and water only until about 2 p.m.
Lunch around 2:00: usually leftovers, 250 - 350 calories.
Dinner around 8:30: we eat a great variety of meals/foods. During warm weather we cook outside most days - usually some type of grilled seafood/fish/meat and vegetables, often coupled with some type of salad. During the colder months we eat a lot of stews, chilis, soups, pasta, casseroles, etc.
Dessert: Usually something made with fruit and nuts, or nothing.

My diary is open. Typical day:
Breakfast: overnight oats and coffee, around 250-300 calories.
Morning snack: around 100 calories, say a banana or apple
Lunch: leftovers or soup or salad, around 300-400 calories
Afternoon: coffee with milk, sometimes another small snack
Dinner: I cook something. Last night was lemon chicken. Tonight is blackened salmon with roast veggies. Around 500 calories.
After dinner/bedtime: If I have calories left, another snack. Perhaps a glass of wine, air popped popcorn, small serving of ice cream.

If you do peruse my diary, last weekend was a long weekend with social events. Mostly within my calories, but some oddball choices. When at a hot dog roast, I eat the hot dogs. I was netting 1500 calories, but have tightened it up to 1270 (sigh) to try to knock off the last couple pounds and hit my goal by my target date of June 1.

Breakfast: Either a premier protein shake or this am I made a homemade Egg McMuffin

Lunch: Deli meat/cheeese on whole wheat bread or double fiber bread with small fruit and veggies
Today I had a turkey wrap on low carb wrap from a local deli

Supper: Some sort of meat usually grilled with veggies.

Snacks: Maybe once a day usually 100 calorie nut packs or fruit
