    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.

    My favorite breakfast is either toast or an english muffin with two tablespoons peanut or almond butter. It keeps me satisfied. Lunch is usually sandwiches for me too.

    Depends on my workout plan...

    AM workout:
    Porridge, special K or a cereal bar for breakfast (up to 250 cal)
    Lunch - Carb & Protein (up to 500 cal) - normally pasta + tuna or chicken

    PM workout
    Porridge, special K or a cereal bar for breakfast (up to 250 cal)
    Lunch - Mostly Carb (up to 350 cal) - Normally a sandwich

    Note - I'm on maintenance now, but I try and make most of the difference between weight loss and maintenance cals up through 'healthy grazing' (fruit & nuts).

    On 'Long run' days where I'll burn 1200-1400 calories I tend to do 'Lunch 1 + Lunch 2' where lunch 1 is a bacon sandwich + a (quality!) milkshake at the cafe where we end the run (11:30am ish, 650cals) , and lunch 2 is as above around 3ish.

    I try to vary what I eat for every meal... sometimes, not the case. Now, if only I can stop drinking beer, I could be in better shape ;) .... but my diary is open if you want to get some ideas.
