Right now I am on ~ 1000 calorie a day. Still have some weight to loose.
Breakfast: oatmeal with 1/2 cup of milk 2% + vitamins.
Lunch: most often a frozen healthy meal ~400cal or salad with meat + fruits.
Dinner: coffee with 2% 1/2 cup of milk, and usually 2 seeded thin toasts with 1tbs of sour cream / sometimes added some hard boiled eggs.
Snacks: sometimes crunchy rice rolls with honey, fruits or a tiny tiny bit of sweets (chocolate/cake etc)
I've been simplifying my routine, after the gym I typically just have 300-600g of very fatty meat plus a coffee or two for lunch - that's it for the whole day. OMAD. I'm lazy, very lazy.
Right now it's oatmeal+cinnamon+maple syrup/honey + raisins with milk or water
I learned I love oatmeal
I do more of a 5 meal thing lately. I became very regimented over the last couple years.
Morning is a 2 hour procession of water, protein coffee, regular coffee, and oatmeal.
Late morning is a piece of Ezekiel toast with a light cream cheese spread and either smoked salmon or sliced chicken breast on it.
Early afternoon is often a full or half banana. Late afternoon is protein drink and either a banana or a rice cake with honey. These two mini meals bookend my workout.
Dinner is the wild card. Chicken, salmon, shrimp, scallops, tuna.. all fair game. Usually with a vegetable and a an egg or half avocado.
Then my night snack is usually Greek yogurt with something mixed in. Mix ins range from Stur to blueberries to peanut butter.. just depends on the day. I’ve also been known to do a hard boiled egg or two instead.
For me it's
Breakfast: Wholegraim bread with a Banana (sometimes a nut spread) + Coffee
Luch: Currently due to the heat wave some type of bean salat with tofu bites and a protein bar.
Dinner: Proteinshake & lentin wavers with hummus and some vegies & vegan cold cuts.
Ezekial bread
I'm not a big bread fan, due to it not being much better than junk food IMO, but that stuff looks great!
Shrimp kebab
A good reminder to me that a pescatarian diet includes non-fish seafood. That said, I haven't checked on the nutritional profiles of crustaceans for a long time. Not sure how 'healthy' or not they're currently considered...
Btw, for my wraps, I like to have these, which are mainly made out of resistant starches and only have about half the typical # of kcals. Altho when I get around to it, I'm going to try another round of making my own oat-flour wraps as a similar health upgrade.
Anyway, in terms of fish, I have salmon fairly often, and a bit of canned tunafish, and some omega-3 capsules every day. Diet is mostly soup and stew-based in general, with fresh veggies and some low-cal noodles. Air-fryer is also an essential food prep tool, as well as the spiral elements on my oven, great for precision grilling.
Shellfish should be pretty reasonable in a balanced diet but they are so expensive. Want to catch my own though not had a huge amount of success when I have tried. Need to try more places.
Molluscs? I'd be checking online (and wherever else) to see if the local ones are in clean water and/or have any issues like that. Or maybe canned would make sense.
Crabs, no chance I would go for filter feeders here and there aren't that many places suitable for them to grow anyway. Although there are a few rocky areas for sea defences they mostly have limpets on them. I think limpets would be safe to eat but are very chewy and not something you normally eat when you have other choices.
I wonder if you could make a seafood stock from them, but it feels a little wasteful to only use them for that.
Oh, crustaceans, then. I thought "shellfish" referred to molluscs specifically (because of the valves, or "shells"), but I see now that I was mistaken.
Seafood bisque is a fairly high-end item IIRC, so there's no shame there I should think. If the cooked limpets weren't good for anything else, they might also be good for fertiliser in a garden. *shrug*
Maybe I'm just tired after a 13 hour construction work day, but what is ezekial bread? Is this a christian bread?! And why? I googled it and it just seems to be whole grain bread?
I have:
Breakfast: random toast (peanut butter) or oatmeal (dried fruits)
Lunch: Apple, cheap superstore granola bar, Sandwiches - Winnipeg rye, lettuce sand which meat, homemade mayo, cheddar, random other ingredients. or Bulk homemade burritos - whole wheat tortillas, black beans, eggs, salsa, cheese, rice, random other ingredients.
Supper: wild variety of different meals.
Ha, can’t comment on the name but it’s a flourless bread, using sprouted grains instead. It has good macros for a bread, too. I’m a convert from 88 cent Aldi loafs.
Wild. It seems like it must be popular, there a bunch of comments here with it! I guess I am really not in the same kind of meal planning world the rest of the commenters are in! These have been really entertaining & educational for me to read.
Breakfast, depends a lot on the day but a good one would generally have:
Some days it's Soylent. I take B12 and D on a gummy.
Lunch my easy go-to I can eat almost any time:
Dinner:
Today I had:
(Yes, I love avocado, I'm Mexican) While fish does have a lot of nutrients it's quite easy to get them from other plant sources too :p
Mediterranean diet, more or less.
Breakfast: toasts with grated tomatoes and olive oil, smoked salmon spread or some pate
Lunch: lentils, beans or chickpeas twice a week, pasta, tortilla, croquetas, stuff like that
Dinner: salad, fish, chicken or some omelette. some vegetables + bit of wine
Breakfast: cereal bar
Break: toast
Lunch: Ham sandwich
Dinner: chicken dinner; mash, chicken breast, peas, Yorkshire puddings, gravy.
I don't really tend to eat snacks very often.
Main bulk of the meals are the same, of course there is some variation over time, but generally rather similar. Been tracking food for last 3 years with nearly 95% accuracy. And yes i can give any random day within last 3 years and know exactly what i ate, only exclusion is some events. Intake has been correlated to bodyweight changes over time as well.
Breakfast, always the same: custom mix. 200g of yogurt, 100g of quick oats, 30g of protein powder.
Lunch depends on a weekday and work.
Lunch 1: after gym, low fat curd 180-200g, yogurt 150g, protein powder 30g, quick oats 50g.
Lunch 2: on a workday, usually last nights dinners leftovers.
Dinner: potatoes/pasta/rice/buckwheat in rotation. Some lean meats and some greens. Usually 1/3 of the plate for each.
Snacks: that's too random to write down and changes depending on what ohase im in, whatever mass gaining or fat burning.
Lately been eating mostly salads, fajitas (kinda) and pizza.
The fajitas instead of adding mexican spices to it I add soy sauce and sweet mead. Could maybe call it a stir fry wrap? Although the cooking is a bit slower than a typical stir fry.
every meal:
i mostly don't cook. i'm not cooking for 1 person only.
i don't eat 3 meals a day. fuck that shit. snacks all the way.
For the last 20 years I’ve been eating only once a day (working shifts) so I’m trying to reintroduce a breakfast other than coffee with milk.
To facilitate it I’m trying the "everything smoothie" with milk, banana, cereal, protein, frozen fruits.
Lunch: water
Dinner: The everything rice with vegetables and chicken or fish.
I have a weird diet that works well for me.
I don't like fish. So it's chicken thighs for me. I get the organic ones to avoid antibiotics. I take omega-3 supplements. Sardines are supposed to be very good for us, but I just can't do it.
Breakfast: some baby carrots, and a handful of roasted cashews, plus coffee.
Main meal at lunchtime: spinach, brussel sprouts, broccoli, tomato, and onion heated up in the microwave, while the chicken pan-fries in olive oil. Topped with a simple Parmesan cheese sauce. Plus an apple.
Evening meal: frozen blueberries with a bit of instant coffee, cinnamon, sugar, and milk. A square of 85% dark chocolate.
I snack on nuts and drink decaf coffee throughout the day.
This has been my routine for over three years now. This is everything I eat, I don't go out. The meals have varied only slightly over the years. For instance, I'm currently experimenting with replacing the chicken with lentils once or twice a week, to save some money and get a bit more fiber and reduce the calories, but it might be too much fiber.
