    Usually yogurt or cottage cheese with fruit or veg.
    Usually around 300cals with 25-30 protein.
    Usually aim for 1600 cals a day.
    5'1 maintaining at 100-105lbs for 8 yr.

    Above is usually because it is not written in stone, I can also skip lunch or have a huge lunch out.

    Cheers, h.

    Lately I've been having
    1 builder bar (270 calories, 20 g protein)
    beef jerky (100 calories, 17 g protein)
    a piece of fruit (80 calories)

    This is my lazy lunch that my dietician despises but she'd prefer I eat something rather than skipping. I'm supposed to be adding in an additional 200 calories. It'll most likely be in the form of protein powder.

    I'm female, 5 foot 9, 133 lbs. Total calories are supposed to be at 2500.

    Breakfast : porridge : granola (300kcal) + 1 banana (100kcal) =400kcal
    Snack : 1 banana (100kcal)
    Lunch : Boiled sweet potato (about 350kcal) and gravy (87kcal). =437kcal
    Snack : lettuce (20kcal) with salad dressing (35kcal)
    Dinner: soup : water, coconut milk, vegetables, tikka massala sauce, a bit of some meat ( around 330kcal)

    Female, 5'10, 188lbs, daily total around 1322kcal
    If I work out (which I do most days), that will be around +500kcal, that's usually a steak or some craving (fruits, crisps, sorbert or sour candy)

    Macros? Heck, I dunno. I have a protein shake because I want protein. I have a slice of bread and a little piece of banana for lunch. My lunch varies slightly during the week and the macros are never identical from one day to the next.

    A cup of beef broth with 85grams of spinach, 50 grams of mushroom. On the side, 300grams of egg whites. I've had it for 3 weeks straight.

    51p/2f/8c 250 calories

    I've been eating this while cutting, or while at maintenance of 1800-1900 per day.

    I never eat the same thing for breakfast, lunch or dinner so I can't say. But I try to balance my fats, carbs and protein the best I can because I do better in the afternoon and with my workouts with an equal or higher amount of protein to carbs. My macros are set at 35% carbs and prot. and 30% fats.

    Very short, very old female in maintenance for almost 8 years; I set my own calories to 1350.

    Note: maybe if I was cooking for myself I would eat the same thing few days in a row (not always), but since I cook for my husband too, I need to change things around to avoid boredom at the kitchen table.

    During the school week I usually eat a couple fried eggs from Jack in the box for breakfast and a grilled Artisian chicken fillet (just the meat) and a hot Apple pie from McDonald's for lunch. Generally save the rest for a bigger dinner.

    Monday though Friday my lunches are ALWAYS the same, mostly because it's easy, filling, and delish.

    1 cup of full-fat Greek yogurt and mix it with some Hidden Valley ranch seasoning(I get the container at BJ's, I don't use the little packets)
    raw veg(celery, carrots, peppers, ect)
    1 serving of Tyson chicken tenders(found in frozen foods)-I'll use the yogurt as dip and it's really satisfying

    I'll then pack a serving of flaming hot Cheetos for a snack. Fills me right up until dinnertime and I only have coffee for breakfast.

    My work lunch is always the same.
    -Yogurt
    -Slice of protein cheesecake
    -Peanut butter and honey sandwich (I mix peanut flour + regular peanut butter + water +honey and spread it on a sandwich flat)

    It is anywhere from 400-500 calories depending on the yogurt and and how much regular peanut butter I use.
    It is about 45-60 carbs, 7-10 fat, 40-45 protein.

    This last week I have made a chicken bolognaise. Its Chicken breast, tin of chopped tomatoes, tomato puree, red onion, garlic and italian herbs. Its about 227 cals, 38g protein, 9g carbs, can't remember the fat macros, low. I couple this with 125g wholegrain rice. Around 35g carbs 3g fat 4g protein.
    I also aim for 25g fibre a day, makes a huge difference to weight loss

    Lately it's been a toasted sandwich and soup. 400 or so cals, no idea on the macros. It's about a quarter of my daily cals.

    I usually have turkey and cheese, or tuna fish or salmon on a flat-out flatbread. Some kind of vegetable, like baby carrots and Greek yogurt dip. Or maybe a little fruit cup of applesauce. My lunches typically are between 325 and 385 calories and I usually have somewhere between 25 to 30 grams of protein give or take a little.

    I try to stick to about 1400 calories per day. I am 5 foot 6, 48 years old, and currently about 231 lb.

    A salad - base tends to be the same always, though it alternates a bit with what left over veggies there are (raw or cooked)
    A cheese sandwich (just cheese and bread)
    Either a light soup or some yoghurt
