Your meals today sound delicious! Especially the red lentil soup.

Thanks! And your chocolate is a great idea, I'll have to try it

Tomorrow's plan...

Breakfast: Chobani vanilla & cinnamon Greek yogurt & coffee

Lunch: leftover spicy peanut kale & mushroom bowl (about 1/3 portion), 2 chopped boiled eggs with relish & mayo, baby carrots, pineapple & blackberries

Dinner: going out to a gourmet grilled cheese place and I'll probably repeat my last order there...cup of crawfish bisque soup and 1/2 pulled pork sandwich, pickle spear & cherry tomatoes.

Going to a concert and will be driving home late so it's very possible I'll have either a Taco Bell mini beefy quesadilla or Dunkin iced coffee. Depending on how much dancing is done, maybe both.

I typically have the same or similar breakfast, lunch, and snacks each day, while changing up my dinner each night.
On a typical day, I usually eat something this or something slightly different:

Breakfast:
- 1/2 cup of egg whites
- one slice of whole grain toast
- 1 tbsp of all-natural peanut butter

Morning snack:
- 1/2 cup of 0% vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup of blueberries

Lunch:
- 2 hard boiled eggs
- 1 cup of raw mixed vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots)
- 2 to 3 tbsp of roasted garlic hummus

Afternoon snack #1:
- 1 cup of raw mixed vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots)
- 2 to 3 tbsp of roasted garlic hummus

Afternoon snack #2:
- 1 medium size Royal Gala apple

Dinner:
- varies each evening

Dessert snack:
- 1 cup of triple berry Sorbet

This eating lifestyle seems to work very well for me. I have lost 40 lbs since I started portioning more after Christmas, 2018. I combine this eating lifestyle with a fairly active lifestyle. I don't drive, so I walk a great deal and take the bus.

Once I start my PhD degree at Dalhousie University this coming September, I will be frequently using the Dalplex gym, a brand new fitness building on campus, to do strength training, more intense cardio (running, cycling on stationary bikes), and hopefully yoga and other flexibility exercises.

Breakfast:
Sugar cookie overnight oats with blueberries and chopped almonds [Well Plated by Erin recipe adaptation]; nitro cold brew

Morning snack:
Rise vegan protein bar (lemon cashew)

Lunch:
Baby spinach, arugula, grilled chicken, beets, broccoli crunch salad, mixed bell pepper slices, cucumber slices, a few olives, and green garbanzo beans; jumble nut cookie [Whole Foods]

Afternoon snack:
Earl grey tea with lavender; protein superfood powder shake with soy milk; 2 sun-dried Turkish apricots

Dinner:
Mexican cauliflower fried rice with 98% lean ground turkey, a little homemade guacamole, and homemade chipotle ranch sauce [Paleo Running Momma recipe adaptation]

Breakfast: fried egg on rye toast with mayo & pickles, cold brew coffee

Mid-morning snack: Snickers bar...I danced for 4 hours straight at a concert last night and didn't get my planned snack(s) afterward

Lunch: taco salad - seasoned TVP, lettuce, peppers, corn, tomatoes & onions, a little sour cream and salsa as dressing, and 3 La Tiara taco shells crunched on top. 1/2 peach.

Dinner: leftover chickpea curry with tons of veggies, and probably some form of ice cream or frozen yogurt after.

Breakfast:
cup of coffee w/cream

Lunch:
fresh Pineapple rings w/vanilla honey yogurt

Dinner:
2 cheese enchiladas mexican rice and beans, plantains w/sour cream ice water to drink

Dessert and/or late night snack:
nothing today...long busy day!

Breakfast- 1 serving shakshuka with 1 egg, coffee with creamer

Lunch- Trader Joe's sesame crunch salad, 1 aprium, 1 cherry/plum hybrid

Snacks- key lime tea cookies, orange/cranberry scone

Dinner- 3 oz baked pesto chicken, sauteed fajita veggies with guacamole salsa, cauliflower rice with cheese sauce.

Still have about 300 calories so perhaps a glass or two of red wine.

Breakfast: Coffee with creamer
Lunch: Greek meatballs in a pita with dill Greek yogurt saucy stuffs
Snack: Probably a peach
Dinner: Hello Fresh Southwest chicken sausage rice skillet
Dessert: Probably having half a pint of one of the many ice creams in my freezer.

Breakfast: Two Kodiak Power Waffles in Blueberry (not worth the calories) topped with Walden Farms Syrup. Egg whites with green onions. Coffee with cashew milk and Splenda.

Lunch: My friend and I hit up the Indian buffet. I had two small scoops of chicken tikka masala, a little aloo gobi, and the eggplant curry. Pakoras. No naan or rice. I actually did very well considering I tend to lose my head with Indian.

Snack: Frozen coffee from Dunkin (made with skim milk and a pump of sugar free toasted almond flavor shot) and a strawberry frosted donut with sprinkles.

Dinner: I honestly don't think I'm gonna eat dinner. Maybe a yogurt. It was a high calorie day, but I did the gym and a long hike, so I wanted ALL THE FOOD.

Breakfast - 2 blueberry waffles, strawberries, 1/2 banana, 2 eggs
Lunch - Chicken salad sandwich
Dinner - Chicken burrito bowl (chicken, rice, beans, lettuce, salsa, cheese, sour cream)
Snack - Protein shake

Still around 200 calories left for snacks.
