    I like to eat the pretty much the same breakfast every morning. I am boring like that : ) I usually eat coffee with 1/2 cup almond milk and a scoop of chocolate protein powder, a piece of whole wheat toast with peanut butter, PB2 or chocolate peanut butter, a banana and 2-3 boiled egg whites (I don't like the yolk). It takes me about 5 minutes to grab all this in the morning (I boil the eggs on the weekend) and I generally eat in the car.

    Lunches and dinners I like variation. Lunches are usually a sandwich, refried beans, leftovers or a pita pizza.

    Dinner is whatever my family is having, and we eat a LOT of different things. We cook pretty healthy so I never make me anything separate.

    Oh and for snacks if I am hungry I usually do plain Greek yogurt with fruit, fruit, cheese, crackers, or a Lara Bar. These are my normal snacks.

    Breakfast is always cereal. Usually cheerios, 1/2 banana and almond milk.

    Lunch is usually 1/2 english muffin with a hard boiled egg and piece of american cheese.

    Dinner varies. Chicken very often. Sometimes i do eat pizza or something not so great but usually chicken coup or grilled chicken sandwiches.

    Snacks are fiber 1 bar, special k chips, cheese stick.

    For about 100 out of the last 103 days I've had a dry-fried egg on a piece of GF toast (with 5g margarine) & a cup of tea.
    244 cals (due to the GF bread being 'healthy' but high cal)
    I'm not sick of it yet as I prefer to eat the same meals over & over. I realise others don't though which must make things a bit more difficult. I guess if I was like that I'd have a selection of maybe half a dozen breakfasts that I could choose from and ensure that I always have the ingredients for each of them in the house.

    When I'm training and have to be out within a half hour of waking up...Instant oatmeal, the longest thing in there is boiling the water which takes 2 minutes in the kettle! Otherwise a smoothie is good, I also occasionally drink a bottle of Ensure on my way to training if I really don't have time...Keeps me going until I can have breakfast or a snack and gives me sufficient protein and carbs to last me a while

    Try plain Greek yogurt with some low-sugar cereal (like Kashi Good Friends) and a banana. The extra protein kick in the Greek yogurt should keep you full for a while.

    You can also pick up whole grain waffles and pop those in the toaster. Top with peanut butter or almond butter and banana slices. Fast and filling!

    For a quick and easy snack during the day make your own trail mix of almonds, cashews, dried cranberries, etc. This is easy to eat, even when you're busy, and packs a good nutritional value.

    Low-fat cheese sticks and apple slices are also great.

    I always like a whey protein shake with fat free milk and a handful of frozen fruit. Through it in the blender and it's ready in seconds. My most common breakfast though is a greek yogurt mixed with a high fiber cereal. It gives the yogurt crunch and filled with protein and fiber it will last me until lunch time.

    Breakfast, my favourite meal! At the moment I'm eating honey granola with almond milk and a protein shake made with almond milk and sometimes a banana. Weekends I might have eggs, but I like the poster who said they boil eggs for the week on a Sunday.
