what do you eat for breakfast and lunch?

[Thorn]

Another habit-formed creature...

Breakfast -- yogurt sprinkled with raw oatmeal mixed with walnuts, ground flax seed and raisens. On the weekends, the breakfast becomes a mixed-grain and rice porridge.

Mid-morning snack -- a breakfast bar (e.g., Luna, Lara, Alpsnack, etc.).

Lunch -- soup. I try to make a big pot of something on the weekend and then eat it for lunch during the week.

1.Whole wheat toast with butter, coffee, orange juice and a piece of fruit.

3. Whole wheat toast, one egg sandwich, oj, coffee.

Snack: fruit banana or something like that around 10:00 in morning at work.

I'm doing the whole plan my dad has me on, and have lost 7 lbs in the the last week.
Meal 1 1/2 cup oatmeal,4 egg whites one whole
Meal 2 Protein shake
Meal3 1/2 cup brown rice, 6oz chicken, beef or fish, 2 cups veggies
Meal 4 Protein Shake
Meal 5 4oz chicken, fish or beef, 3 cups veggies
Meal 6 Protein shake or brownie out of it

I eat every 2.5 to 3 hours but it's just for 30 days until they start adding fruit in. So far I like it, but I'm craving sweets BAD!!! But, seeing the weight coming off and my clothes getting looser is paying off.

Well, I try to vary things, but I'll give you today for an example:

Breakfast (the measurements are of the dry ingredients, obviously they "puff up" when cooked, so I get a very big bowl of hot cereal out of this):
1/4 c. cream of rice
1/4 c. buckwheat
(like I said, I vary this, so sometimes it's quinoa and sometimes it's amaranth . . . just depends)
1 pear, diced
cinnamon
(I nuke the pear with cinnamon for about a minute while the cereal is cooking on the stove - sometimes I use frozen berries (no cinnamon) or use an apple instead of the pear)
1/4 c. nutritional yeast flakes
2 T flax seed (I use this for a couple weeks and then take a week or so off)
Sometimes (like this morning) I will also mix in about 1/2 to 1 c. organic plain yogurt or kefir (with live, active cultures)
Once or twice a week I'll mix in a whole omega-3 egg as well (I just stir it in and it cooks within the cereal).

Lunch:
I always bring my lunch. Today's probably sounds pretty gross as it's a hodge-podge of what I have left in the cupboard (time to go grocery shopping):

1 large sweet potato
1 medium sized avocado
1 can cannelli beans

Also, unsweetened cranberry juice self-sweetened with a few drops of Stevia.

We rarely eat out. I usually take one weekend per month a cook, cook, cook - soups, stews, etc., etc. and fill the freezer. Then I have stuff to bring with me to work every day and have stuff that just needs to be heated when I get home. I hate coming home hungry and not being able to eat within the 1/2 hour.

Last night, for dinner I sauteed a white onion in olive oil. Then I added curry powder (or sometimes I'll do ground ginger and ground cumin), and diced chicken. Stirred that around a bit and when the chicken was about done I threw in some spinach and cooked brown rice pasta.

I really like fish: salmon, halibut, etc. Some of my favorite recipes are beef & barley stew and morroccan chicken soup. Oh, I also recently learned to make porcini mushroom risotto - yummy! A real stick-to-your ribs kind of thing. It's very good paired with roasted chicken breast with just a bit of salt and pepper to taste, and a green salad with balsamic vinegar. Roasted fingerling potatoes are fun too. Cube the potatoes, coat with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic - spread out on a pan and bake at 425 for about 30 minutes. Yummy.

I have some different food allergies, sensitivities which make eating out kind of a pain.

As for supplements, I take calcium, vit. d, zinc, and fish oil pills. On rides, I mix one Emergen-C packet in my water.

Breakfast: 2 pieces Sprouted whole wheat (or whole grain anyway) toast with butter and honey or jam.
small cup of blueberry, cherry, grape, or pomegranite 100% juice.
1/2 can of sardines, or equivalent amount of herring, salmon; oily fish.

on weekends i vary this with 2 eggs instead of the fish or oatmeal + fruit and nuts and lots of water.

lunch; leftovers from dinner; usually meat, starch & greens.

Breakfast (about 4-5 times a week, at Ralph's Pretty Good Cafe, usually at the start of my bike rides....):
Double shot espresso latte
2 scrambled eggs
1 freshly baked croissant
OR...
Double shot espresso latte
Challah French toast
Bacon

The other 2 or 3 days a week when I have breakfast at home, I just have a bowl of Swiss Familia cereal w/milk.

Lunch?- usually whatever is leftover from what I cooked for yesterday's dinner.

Breakfasts at Ralph's Pretty Good Cafe are a major part of my personal spiritual program for inner serenity and joy.

For breakfast during the week, I usually eat a tub of yogurt or a banana. I During the weekend, it depends on what I'm doing, but it's usually one or several of the following: high fiber cereal with low fat milk, yogurt, whole wheat waffles with lite syrup, whole wheat English muffin with peanut butter and jelly, banana, kiwis, strawberries, orange, etc. I am not a natural breakfast eater. Anything before 9 a.m. makes me feel kind of sick.

For lunch, it really varies during the work week because I usually eat out. I often have a salad with a mix of veggies and beans and a little cheese. Or I might have turkey or tuna salad on whole wheat, pasta with a red sauce and veggies (I eat this when I feel sort of spent after long weekend rides) or a black bean burrito. If I bring a brown bag, it's usuall PB&J on whole wheat, yogurt and a piece of fruit.

I also often eat a piece of fruit or have some yogurt mid-afternoon.
