    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.

    Most of last week I ate the same breakfast and lunch with some variation based on veggies I had. 5,4. 176 pounds.
    Breakfast: mini bagel and low cal cream cheese, nutrigrain apple bar (around 350calories). Lunch: Chicken sausage chopped up over a variety of veggies (zucchini, spinach, broccoli-whatever I had), small container of kalamata olives (around 400 calories). Snack: Bear shaped grahams (140 calories).
    I have a 1550 calorie limit. Dinner is usually 4oz chicken, steak or pork chop along with a grain and 2-3 cups veggies.

    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

    Right now I’m eating:

    - 1/2 small avocado or 1/3 large avocado
    - 1 kiwi
    - 125g strawberries

    Macros are about even (~33% protein, ~33% carbs, ~33% fat)

    I have a salad with grilled chicken and black beans. I use baby spinach, peppers, grape tomatoes, and a few carrots. I also have 28grms of Clancy’s veggie chips and I’m full for the rest of the day. My diary is open if you want specific macros

    Breakfast on most days: nonfat Greek yogurt, chocolate protein powder, chocolate pb2, soy milk, fiber cereal. Tea.

    More tea.

    Another cup of tea.

    Lunch about 3x/week: protein cheesecake (recipe is on the Recipes board).

    Chocolate.

    I don’t intend to eat the same thing so often, but it’s easy, I like my strange breakfast concoction, and the macros are good.

    I eat pretty light around breakfast and lunch, but I like to nibble often, so it's usually raw veggies, a couple of greek yogurts and a cheese stick. I have a big dinner with my family and save some calories for a small dessert.
