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.

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.

Nothing in particular, just what I can find.

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.

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

Breakfast: Müsli 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

Steel cut oats boiled with fruit, sweetened with maple syrup, and served with some type of dairy. I always use cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and ground ginger!

Fruit is either:

• Cut apples
• Frozen blueberries or strawberries

Dairy is either:

• A drizzle of milk
• A couple tablespoons of plain greek yogurt

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

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

Water is my favorite drink, followed by red bull maybe once a week

Coffee ,water, piece of fruit, a nut bar or loose nuts/berries mix. Meat and two veg in some sort of combo for dins

Eat: At this time of the year, in no particular order, mandarins, chops and onions, coconut mullet/vege curry and rice, vita weats and vegemite, cheese, frozen berries with yoghurt, apple crumble, nori, chocolate, dolmades, salad from the front garden, chicken, eggs.

Drink: Water. I'm allergic to caffienne, so everyone else drinks tea and coffee, but not me.

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.

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.
