What do YOU eat in a typical day?

Options
Just thought it would be fun and a good way to get some nice meal ideas for others if we posted what our typical day would look like.

This is mine

Breakfast:
- Cereal e.g. porridge or coco pops with skimmed milk
- Maybe a piece of fruit

Lunch:
- Ham salad sandwich (on wholemeal bread with no butter)

Dinner:
- Small portion of rice
- Half a tin of chilli con carne

Snacks
- Fat free yoghurt
- Piece of fruit

So what about you?
