What country do you live in or hail from AND....

Im British, i live in Essex in the UK.

My breakfast is always weetabix, a teaspoon of brown sugar and 150ml semi skimmed milk.
Lunch is usually a salad when i remember to pack one for work, failing that the shop nearby does fresh lunch pots that average at around 300 cals.

Dinner tends to be meat and veg, so meatloaf or pork steaks in gravy, although I am sneaking in more veggies and fishies these days. - Having said that, this week i am being incredibly lazy by doing M&S fresh meals instead- we have a voucher that needs using up and it is usually a lot fewer calories than if i cook myself!

I'm from Scotland so I'll give you a typical day around where I live

Breakfast - Roll with fried sliced sausage or potato scone
Lunch - McDonalds or KFC
Dinner - Takeaway either Indian, Chinese or Chip shop (deep fried pizza is a fav)
Snacks - Crisps, biscuits and chocolate
Drinks - DIET soda (got to be careful of the calories!!)

:laugh:

Not my typical day and not everyone here eats like this but I know people who do!!

I'm Irish, live in Minnesota, USA. Breakfast is a multigrain cheerios with 2% milk with Orange juice and coffee. If I'm still hungry maybe a couple of slices of toast - sourdough bread is my favorite. Sometimes I might I have bacon and eggs with toast. I love weetabix but it is so hard to find here.

Lunch can be either soup, sandwhich, noodles or leftovers.

Dinner changes depending on if I'm at work or feeding the kids. Kids always love pizza, I sometimes make spagetti and meatballs, pork chops, tacos, fish, chicken served with either potatoes or rice. Trying to find veggies that the kids eat can be hard.
Being Irish when I don't have potatoes for a while I feel deprived.

I live in Philippines but of mixed Latino-Filipino heritage so in my diary you will find mostly Spanish & Latin American with some Filipino. You don't find typical Filipino foods in my diary except rice as I really don't like most typical foods here plus I need to watch out the high calories but also I'm lessening my rice intake as well.

Anyway my typical days are usually (but not always) consist of:

Breakfast: rice, fried egg & lean meat namely beef, chicken or fish (note: I don't eat pork) with coffee
Lunch (either one of the ff): chicken wrap, protein shake, chicken sandwich, burritos, tacos, paella, grilled seafoods, 8-10pcs. of sushi
Dinner (either one of the ff): vegetable salad, lomo saltado, callos, steamed fish
Snack: COFFEE!

I come from Croatia, live in Germany, but what i eat has nothing to do with those two countries.

Breakfast: rolled oats, fruits, apple sauce, or crisp bread, cottage cheese, vegetables, or when i'm in a hurry a protein shake

Lunch: turkey or chicken breast, vegetables, some kind of grains (quinoa, bulgur, buckwheat, rice, etc), or salad, or when i'm not home, i eat at mensa at the university

Dinner: i usually eat that what i ate for lunch, or just make myself a sandwich made out of vegetables and yummy stuff like cottage cheese, or something like that, i don't know :-)

I am Canadian but i recently moved to the UK , I now live in Lancashire England on an average day for me I have ...

Breakfast : a Bagel with light cream cheese and fresh fruit, with a cup of tea , orange juice and my pile of vitamins!

Lunch : can be anything from beans on toast ( having that today) to Leftovers , it's really what's in the fridge that i can make that is under 500 cal!

As for Dinner ( they call it "tea" here) : Tonight i am having on omelette with cream cheese and squash in it and toast, but i also like making curry or Chinese all sorts of stuff I LIVE off of a book called Looneyspoons!

I am in Minnesota USA

Breakfast is usually a cup of coffee and a peanut butter sandwich or 2 hard boiled eggs.
Lunch is usually a turkey sandwich with spicy brown mustard or oatmeal (oatmeal fills me up more so I have been having that more often now.
Dinner is usually 4 oz of meat, a veg and rice (not a big potato fan anymore so if we're having that I just have meat and a veg)

I have lost 103 lbs so far so this seems to work for me. I also have an elliptical I try to use everyday

I'm a Canadian west coaster

Breakfast: homemade egg sandwich with goat cheese and spicy chili sauce
Lunch: Whatever freezer meal I've made in advance on Sunday. This week is black bean and corn burritos with spicy salsa

Dinner: Totally varies. Usually stirfry or one pot meal. I hate cooking but recognize its too hard to track calories if you eat out a lot.

I've been snagging snacks and low call treats off this awesome blog called Snack Girl.

I'm Jamaican.

Chicken foot soup,

Thought it was only South Africans who ate chicken feet! And heads and necks!!!! But not me....

I am Black, fully, not biracial AT ALL. Born and raised in Detroit, MI. Breakfast for me is usually, coffee, fruit, cereal, on occasion I like pancakes/waffles/omelet.

for lunch i usually eat out but I am trying to change that about myself. SO since I dont really like to cook I eat ALOT of tv dinners. it keeps me satisfied AND I get a warm meal. I am aware there is a huge sodium alert there BUT I have no health issues so that doesnt' bother me.

for dinner i like chicken breasts, salad, sweet potatoes, and various vegetables. i love to boil my vegetables then saute them with a little margarine, and minced garlic. im not a salad eater but i will eat that from time to time as well with balsamic viniger dressing. I kind of have to stay away from soul food (which is my favorite) because it is so high in fat everything is cooked and marinated with pork. and has a lot of cheese but it is SOOOOO yummy!

I'm Jamaican.

Breakfast may be friend plantains or boiled yam, boiled banana with callaloo (greens) or ackee and saltfish (salted cod/bacalao). Porridges: oats, cornmeal, plantain, banana, peanut

We also have most fast food joints: KFC, BK, Popeyes, Chinese, Indian, Wendys...but those are for on the road convenience or lazy evening dont-wanna-cook days.

We're a diverse people who LOVE our food so this isnt even scratching the surface

Lunch: stew peas with pigs tail and white rice,

Hello from Wisconsin! Madison to be precise. Breakfast for me is usually a nutrition shake with some fruit added in. Lunch is what was for dinner last night, today it was 21 bean soup. Dinner tonight will be steaks on the grill, brown rice and sugar snap peas glazed with balsamic vinegar...I like taking my 7 month old pit bull terrier for walks and skating roller derby.

lol we're so fat as a nation.
What would we do without Juici breakfast? Lol

I live in Canada, but am Italian, so a lot of my food is Italian

For breakfast, every single day, I start with half a cup of ORIGINAL Fiber One, that is 14grams of fiber which is half my daily intake, and no sugar! I do have to put a bit of pure cinnamon on it to make it eatable. Then I will usually have whole grain toast and some protein like eggs or peanut butter and some fruit.

For lunch I start with either a bowl of pure homemade vegetable soup (pure meaning ONLY veg and water, no meat, or noodles or anything, usually just carrots, cabbage, spinach, tomatoes, onions and celery with water), or I will have a salad. Then, I will either have crackers with the soup, or add protein to the salad, like chicken, protein beans or hard boiled egg yolk. Sometimes, I will have either just the soup with no crackers, or a smaller salad without protein, and have some leftovers, or veal or eggplant sandwich.

Dinner is pretty much always, meat, some type of pasta or potato, and two kinds of veg. Some of my common dinners include:

Chicken Parm with pasta, salad and eggplant
Hamburger gravy with mashed potatoes, broccoli and green beans
Homemade Pizza (loaded with meat and veg) and salad

I also plan my menus one or two weeks at a time, so in the morning before work, I just have to look at what is for dinner, and pull out the meat. That saves TONS of time and mental energy during the busy week.

I do not plan weekends, on Saturdays, I work long hours, so that is when we are most likely to have burgers or hotdogs or something like that.

On Sundays, we have a Sunday Dinner, like Roast or Ham, or my partner will make some Jamaican food like chicken and dumplings or the like.....but I eat very few things that are not Italian styled, so sometimes we even end up cooking two different meals....and of course, my partner eats NO Italian food at all.....can get a little interesting.....my kids eat it all, lol
