I find that I have pretty much the same things for breakfast and lunch. Dinner is more varied.
Because I have pre-Diabetes as well as IR and PCOS, I began monitoring my blood sugar. I was AMAZED at how my body reacted to various foods (like "healthy whole grain oatmeal" in the morning! Not for me anymore!).
I found that I need to avoid carbs as much as possible in the morning. I can tolerate some later in the day. I follow the IR Diet framework, but often end up eating fairly low carb even with that. So I tend to limit bread and grains, and sugary things.
So breakfasts for me are often eggs and sausage, or eggs and mushrooms, or cottage cheese, or a protein smoothie with a few berries (not many; they're a treat in the morning).
Lunches are less restrictive. When I work in the town I take a green salad with lots of veggies, a homemade vinegar/oil dressing, and some protein (cheese, egg, or leftover meat). I also take chicken miso soup, which I sometimes fortify with extra veggies. Or I take chicken, egg, or tuna salad and some celery to eat it with. And the soup.
At home, my lunches are usually leftovers: meat and veg of some sort. If I eat out for lunch, I often get burgers or sandwiches and eat the middle while leaving the bread. Or a big salad.
Dinners are usually at home, and often are a simple protein/veg combo. Tonight I'm having corned beef and homemade sauerkraut. YUM!
