    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.

    loaded smoothie! my job involves a lot of running around and unpredictability so it works for me.
    generally has protein powder, yoghurt, berries or banana, spinach, other supplements (collagen, fish oil, greens powder) . some days I amp it up with cocoa powder and cacao nibs. 250-400 calories depending

    I usually have leftovers from last night's dinner. Macros are all over the place.

    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.
