I'm a big fan of mixing rice, nuts, and fruit with yogurt. It's a high protein, high fibre, and low fat meal.

You are not the only person who uses MFP. I use it too, and I'm not trying to lose weight, I'm maintaining. I regularly run half marathons, and just yesterday went biking 140 kilometers. Imagine if I didn't eat back my exercise calories!

My breakfast is high in protein and high in fibre. Here are some recent examples: 640 calories, 51g protein, 12g fibre Quark, bran flakes, pine nuts and an apple 720 calories, 54g protein, 13g fibre Quark, brown rice, spelt, quinoa, an apple and a banana 680 calories, 43g protein, 12g fibre Yoghurt, bran flakes, unsalted…

I'm no 'top athlete', but looking at my last three days I see this: Sunday - Ran a half marathon, earned 1300 kcal Monday - Walked 24 km at a high pace, earned 1150 kcal Tuesday - Biked 38 km and walked 10 km, earned 1200 kcal Today - Lazy day at home :# Burning over a thousand extra calories a day through exercising takes…

Breakfast this morning! High protein, high fibre, and already hitting the daily recommendations for fruit, nuts, and tea. Fat free yoghurt, an apple, a banana, bran flakes, and unsalted peanuts. 670 kcal, 43g protein (mostly the yoghurt), 12g fibre.

Quark. There's 44.5 grams of protein and 250 kcal in this:

...and a similar breakfast from earlier this week, in which I substituted the quark for skim yoghurt, and the apple for a banana. Totals here add up to 660 kcal, 54g protein, 8g fibre. The yoghurt, like the quark, contains 45 grams of protein, but you'd need to eat twice as much to get that high a number and that costs…

My breakfast this morning. It has 600 kcal, 53g protein and 12g fibre. The protein comes mostly from 500 grams of quark, which offers 45 grams of protein for just 250 kcal. My other ingredients are an apple, bran flakes, and unsalted peanuts.

You can easily hit 25 grams (or even double that) by eating some quark, Skyr, or Greek yoghurt. I love dairy products, so I eat yoghurt or quark pretty much every morning. I like to mix it up with fruit, rice, or cereal. High protein and high fibre will keep you full.

As a vegetarian, but not a vegan, I find lean dairy products the most convenient source of protein. Quark, Greek yoghurt, or Icelandic Skyr, are all products with an excellent protein-to-calories ratio. The quark I had with breakfast this morning offers 17.8 grams of protein for every 100 calories it contains! Below is my…

Those aren't french fries, they're 'veggie fries'! They're seriously delicious, and high in beneficial nutrients such as potassium, fibre, and various vitamins. I highly recommend them. The stuff to the left contains rucola and meat substitutes high in protein (I'm a vegetarian), among other things. The beer is a…

This morning's breakfast. 660 kcal 53g protein 12g fibre The protein mostly comes from the quark, a wonderful dairy product that offers a lot of high quality protein. This 500g of quark contains 45g of protein at only 250 kcal! The quark is mixed with brown rice, which is an excellent source of fibre. There's also quinoa…

Spinach, peanuts, and goat's cheese on bread with sesame seeds.

My ideal breakfast is a combination of some type of dairy, fruit, and some complex carbs. In my personal experience complex carbs help keep me feeling full, so you might want to try something like bread with peanut butter. While the protein-to-kcal balance isn't great for either bread or peanut butter, they do combine to…

I sure do! Here they are as part of a delicious meal: Totals for this meal are 630 kcal, 32g protein, 4g fibre.

I'm an average guy in terms of height and weight and 1400 is what I burn on my weekly half marathon.

Vitamins do not have calories. If your vitamin supplement does, you could try and find a different brand.

To avoid any confusion some readers of this thread may have: your diet heavily influences your cholesterol levels! The science shows that eating cholesterol has little effect, so you can safely eat those eggs. Lowering cholesterol through diet shouldn't focus on dietary cholesterol. Instead, here are the basics of lowering…
