    Bran Flakes for breakfast

    Tuna Sandwich for lunch

    Every single day for nearly 3 months now, boring but steady.

    Beakfast I normally have cereal like weetabix or shredded wheat with a banana or I have porridge.
    Lunchtime I have salad with tuna or a tortilla wrap with chicken breast and salad.

    For breakfast, I love eggs... But, on mornings that I am not in an egg mood, I eat Quaker whole grain oats made with water with a tbsp of all natural peanut butter and half a banana. Yummy! I also sub the banana for strawberries occasionally. Or, I eat organic cinnamon raison cereal with soy milk.

    Most days when I work I have a 35 calorie yogurt and mix in 1/3 a cup of Bran Buds = 135 calories and almost your fiber intake for the day. I find it really filling and the buds give the yogurt a good crunch. My other choices are peanut butter toast or whole grain cheerios.

    Lunch - I love tuna, so I have a half a pita pocket with half can tuna, light mayo and add half a cup of shredded coleslaw (bag stuff with no dressing on it). I change the tuna out for chicken breast. This is usually less than 300 calories. Either that or a salad full of veggies.

    Lots of ideas - add me as a friend if you like :)

    I usually eat in the car so a protein bar with a minimum of 20 grams of protein for breakfast. MY new lunch addiction is 2oz boars head low sodium ham, snack size bag of Stacy's pita chips, a serving of hummous and pinanpple for desert, sometimes cottage cheeese. I make little pita chip sandwiches :) it makes me eat slower than just making a sandwich alone.

    I am down 101 pounds total :)

    I try and vary my breakfasts, sometimes because of my job I have two breakfasts. I get to have egg, , bacon, toast or cereals or just toast.

    It varies for me (which probably helps) but I always have breakfast, most often these days oats of some kind.
    Other times toast and marmite or peanut butter.

    Weekdays, lunch is generally a healthyish sandwich or wrap from the supermarket.

    Weekends I tend to eat a bit more generously.

    I try to keep the macro nutrition levels in the right proportions and obviously keep within calorie limits.

    I'm a slow loser - 53 pounds in about 425 days, though a lot of that time, I was maintaining weight.

    My diary is open to MFP friends, so add me if you'd like a peek :)

    it sounds silly but a routine is a must! so stick to the foods you know are safe...i have branflakes EVERYDAY too :) (still yummy)
    i have the same sorta thing daily too(brilliant minds an all that)!

    I have two Weetbix biscuits with boiled water for breakfast because I can't tolerate milk in the morning. Sometimes wholegrain toast with Vegemite (cos I'm Australian). Lunch is usually a crunchy salad with either tuna or chicken breast.

    Either Toast and Fruit, Oatmeal, Cereal or whatever.

    I don't think a routine is a must, the only routine you need is to eat.

    Breakfast - porridge or fruit and fibre cereal.

    Lunch - bowl of salad with chicken or jacket potato and salad or salad wraps :)

    I love Kashi's Go Lean Crunch High Protein & Fiber cereal. It comes in rather large chuncks which make it easy to eat dry in the car on the way to work.

    Then I have a snack of a low-fat mozzarella cheese stick & a banana mid-morning.

    Lunch is typically leftovers of whatever I made for dinner the night before. Or, if we ate all of that, a grilled chicken salad from Subway.

    I believe my diary is open if you'd like to look further.

    Good luck!!

    I don't eat eggs either.... or tuna, or granola. I generally have a light whole grain english muffin (the one with 1/3 of your fiber intake for the day), laughing cow cheese wedges and 2 slices of canadian bacon (which I was shocked to find is quite low in calories and fat). Gets in your fiber/grains, and proteins, and holds me until lunch.

    Fiber One bars since I am usually running out to work & can't sit down to eat. Weekends, I do cereal (Honey Bunches of Oats) or oatmeal and fruit or cinnamon raising bagel thin with peanut butter. Mmmmmm....

    Good luck!

    For breakfast I like whole wheat sandwich thins with cottage cheese spread on top. Lunch is usually salad of some sort, or a turkey wrap on whole wheat tortilla.

    I've only lost 28lbs so not sure if I qualify but I LOVE my oats (115 cals a bowl) for breaky
    Salads are great at lunch, falafel (sp?) are really filling a low calorie so with a bit of lettuce and tomato and whatever you can get a yummy lunch for under 100 calories. :)

    I eat 1 cup of oatmeal with blue berries and skim milk or 1 cup of Kashi Crunch cearal with blue berries and skim milk. this last longer because of the protein.

    Kashi go lean crunch with almond milk for breakfast

    For lunch I have low sodium low fat lunch meat in a wrap or on bread stuffed with veggies, or if I'm in a hurry I'll make a lean cuisine, and something I'll have a veggie burger. I try to switch it up so I don't get bored.

    Breakfasts will either be porridge made with water and a banana (and blackberries this time of year) with splash of milk ; or cereal (30 g) plus 150 ml skimmed milk and some fruit ; or crumpets; I often have eggs at the weekend

    Lunch if I am at home I have ham or tuna salad, - if at work I cook some pasta and mix ham cucumber and tomato into it - today instead of having a pack of crisps with my salad I had a minestrone cuppa soup as I was feeling chilly!

    I don't get bored with eating the same things, I vary it all slightly

    Either (1) three types of Trader Joe's tofu concoctions (fake chorizo, fake sausage, tofu or seitan) fired with spices and/or onions and tomatoes, with some whole milk Greek yogurt (500-600 calories)

    Or Trader Joe's Irish oats with almond milk and fruit. (400-500 calories)

    Yeah, what can I say, I'm a vegetarian, and Trader Joes is my go-to grocery store. I just stopped purchasing the "Three Buck Chuck" for the time being. :)

    I always have some protein in the am. It helps curb my appetite. I usually pick two things from the following:
    yogurt with fresh fruit (I hated yogurt until last year - had no idea I could develop a liking for somethign new at 34 but I did)
    granola bars
    hummus on whole wheat English muffins
    almonds
    ham and egg sanwich
    string cheese
    cereal (dry)
    clementines (best fruit ever)

    i've lost 46.

    kraft milk and granola bars. in refrigerated section. real fruit, real granola, real milk.

    then a fiber one or something halfway between breakfast and lunch.

    the key is 6 small meals a day.
