I'm on a diet now for about a month. Only drink water and coffee.

I eat 1 big meal a day. Low calories and if possible low on carbs. So lots of vegetables, replaced potatoes with cauliflower and mostly chicken breast.

As dessert yogurt with a little bit of fresh food.

What time do you eat your meal? I can't imagine going hours without eat even a little bit of fruit.

A muffin in the morning ( usually coffee chocolate or blueberry) with a bottle of 2% milk for breakfast. Then a can of OJ and red bull. For lunch I just get a single patty burger with lettuce onions, and pickle slices. 2/3 of it with mayo and the other third ketchup. After that I drink another red bull when I get home, and that's about it. Depending on how much smoke I'll make myself a breakfast sandwich ( English muffin, an egg, sausage patty, and shredded sharp cheddar) to sate my munchies

Breakfast: MΓΌsli or bread with Nutella, oatmilk

Lunch: Sandwich, yogurt, maybe something on the side like olives, caprese salad, whatever I fancy

Dinner: I cook something, preferably enough for two days or just some spaghetti or frozen pizza if I’m lazy.

Throughout the day I drink tea, iced tea and water

Mostly rice and products with cooked vegetables. I drink only water.

Bread and water.

Water for obvious reasons and bread because bread is that thing that goes well all on its own, can make a good snack, a light meal or a feast fit to fill the glutony of demons.

Oatmeal for breakfast every day. It’s easy I can make it in a mug at work using hot water from the coffee machine.

I usually have some hot Cheetos for lunch. I should quit but my diet is otherwise bland and so it’s nice to have something with some sort of spice once a day

I'm on a very early schedule. It's usually black coffee until the afternoon, a snack a short nap, and then a big dinner around 5. I like to cook, so sometimes it's a full meat-starch-veggies affair. I'm also wicked overworked, so sometimes it's delivery or frozen crap. We go absolutely nuts in summer with all the stone fruit from the farmers market, less so as the offerings turn towards apples and such.

Trying to bulk up has me ingesting whey protein daily 90% to fill up. Even when cutting down you gotta take even more. One way or another it ends up in a shake or on few occasions, some nice recipes. Can't do better on a budget.

Water and sandwiches mostly. Sometimes I have wraps or soups.

Cereals in the morning, stuffed paratha and chutney from the local shop for lunch and biriyani for dinner.

Nothing in particular, just what I can find.

A typical day looks something like this:

Breakfast: egg beaters with mushrooms, peppers, onions, low-fat cheese, and either ham or turkey lunchmeat, topped with salsa or hot sauce, plus an orange and either yorkshire gold tea with condensed milk or Wawa pumpkin spice coffee

Post-workout: Core protein shake

Lunch: half-sandwich of ham and turkey with hummus and pickled onions on whole-grain bread, plus half a can of minestrone soup or a salad

Mid-afternoon: yorkshire gold again and maybe half an apple with chunky peanut butter

Dinner: usually lean meat (either chicken breast or pork tenderloin), green veg (steamed spinach with lemon and a little butter or maybe peas), and some type of starch, usually either a baked sweet potato or farro cooked in spiced broth

Dessert: 2 small pieces of dark chocolate or black licorace

All throughout I drink water.

The only consistent thing is coffee, green tea and water. I'm new to tea but it might supplant coffee entirely actually. Green tea makes me feel good :)

As for food I switch it up a lot but I often eat plain yogurt with muesli for breakfast.
