    read peoples diaries who are in a similar calorie bracket to you. For me I've figured out I can do cereal or yogurt in the morning, and then salad with something (soup, veggies, chicken, leftovers usually) for lunch, and then I make dinner for hubby and I... Sometimes that's a bit of a cheat, sometimes not so much. I eat after I work out at night so I'm a little less hungry, more focused on the effects of my workout and not wanting to ruin them with junk food. (evening is my lowest resistance time usually) I vary the kinds of yogurt and what I put in the salad slightly so I don't get too bored. Eventually I will get bored and then I'll figure something else out. Oatmeal in the am is great too.

    there are so many things you could have!! i know everyone is different, but i have found that i need to vary my food becuase if i'm eating the same thing every day i'm alot more likely to "cheat". eat what you want in moderation and mix it up! and look at your friends food diaries if you need ideas but i would suggest varying your meals day to day - this is what has kept me with my program for so long

    Lots of salads and fresh veggies. Ground Turkey, Boneless Pork, Boneless Chicken breast for salads, dinner and for sandwiches with low carb bread ( whole grain), Frozen veggies for side dishes and to add to 1 oz pasta and 1/2 cup of sauce. Egg white omelets with veggies and Smart balance very low in everything ( Great for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack), Baked Sweet Potatoes, Nuts, Yogurt, Fresh Fruits, Fat Free pudding cups, Low fat Graham crackers for crushing on top of baked apple or pudding. Hummus with Wheat thin crackers.
