I was going to refer you to the daily meal thread, but I don't think we've had one in a quite a while!
Here's mine for today
B: homemade juice (grapefruit, cucumber, ginger root, apple and carrot through the juicer)
L: Spinach salad with grilled chicken, balsamic, mozzarella and tomato.
S: 1 cup of pistachios
D: I dunno yet! Any suggestions? I have a homemade veggie soup that I've been adding to for a couple of days, so I might work on that some more.
Dessert: FF hot chocolate, shot of peppermint schnapps
I count my calories. Right now I try to eat around 1,400. I also try to watch my carb/protein/fat ratios...I try to shoot for 40% carbs, 30% protein, 30% fat. I'm not one to snack between meals, so most of my calories are from my meals alone...however, I do usually eat an evening snack before bed. The only calories I drink is from my morning coffee...other than that, I stick to water and maybe 1 can of diet soda. Here is what a typical day of food looks like for me:
Breakfast [total of 377 calories]:
-Scrambled eggs (1 whole egg, 1 egg white) with peppers & onions, topped with salsa [120 calories]
-2 (meatless) Boca sausage links [70calories]
-1 Slice of whole wheat toats w/a little bit of butter [115 calories]
-1/2 of a banana [61 calories]
Morning coffee w/sugar free french vanilla creamer [60 calories]
Lunch [total of 330 calories]
-Turkey sandwich (1 slice of whole wheat bread, 6 pieces of deli sliced turkey, 1 slide of fat free american cheese, 1/2 Tbsp of light mayo) [200 calories]
-1/2 fat free cottage cheese [80 calories]
-1/2 spring salad mix with 1/8c. fat free mozzarella shreeded cheese, banana peppers & 2Tbsp of fat free italian dressing [50 calories]
Dinner [total of 360 calories]:
-Lean Cuisine Salmon with Basil [220 calories]
-2/3c. steamed california blend veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots) [60 calories]

Currently working to:
-drink more water throughout the day
-cut down on fast food

Reason: Added the total calories!
Due to work schedules I rarely manage 3 square meals a day.
However I make sure my main meal, be it lunch or dinner (I usually just have a banana fo breakfast) is interesting.
Today I bought a mini Margharita pizza (250 cals) and plonked a portabello Mushroom on top and sliced Mozzerella (added 150cals) delicious!
I've been doing the slim fast plan so im supposed to have two of their meals, three snacks of around 100 cal and a dinner of around 500 cals for a total of 1200 cals before any beverages. I tend to try to stick to water with one diet soda at night so i rarely add calories there.
breakfast I have one of their shakes (190), usually either the chocolate royale or the cappuccino
snack 1 cup of fruit in light juice, lately been favoring tropical fruit with mango and pineapple, yummy (70)
snack 2 package of 100 calorie snack (cheez-its, goldfish, pringles, usually something salty) this is what i usually have, missed this snack today
lunch meal bar(200), i loooove the fruit and yougart or the oatmeal raisin
snack 3 some form of fruit snack, lately its been gushers (90)
dinner Since I'm only cooking for me I stick to healthy choice meals or lean cuisenes unless my boyfriend is over for the night. tonight i had lean cuisene lemon pepper chicken(290) a piece of pepper jack mixed in the veggies and on top of the fish (90) a piece of whole grain honey wheat bread with i cant believe its not butter spread (120) and, because im not supposed to drop below 1200 and i havent had a sweet treat today, a single serving size of dutch chocolate ice cream (170)
Breakfast
-Yogurt and a banana (about 175-200) with black coffee
Lunch
Something from 7-11 with calories notated. I have two "standby" lunches.
#1: Kimchi (26), yogurt (89) and inarizushi (262). Water or tea.
#2: Vegetable bifun noodles (346) and sometimes yogurt (89). Water or tea.
Dinner
-1 small pack tofu (150? I should check), a few boiled bok choys, 1 head of broccoli, 1 cooked onion, and a little soy sauce or sesame dressing. (Calories ?)
-Banana or calcium supplement bar for dessert (both around 120)
Posting from the last day I ate "normally" for me - yesterday (Wed) I skipped breakfast and today I ate lower cal as I knew I was going out for lunch - and also yet to have dinner (Thursday). So this is from Tuesday:
