I eat like this about 5 days per week.
Breakast:
1/4 cup oatmeal (not instant) with 1/2 teaspoon sugar
Handful of blueberries
Banana
4 oz. fresh OJ
Lunch:
Large salad with lettuce, peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, sunflower seeds, and garbanzo beans with oil and vinegar dressing
If I want more protein, I'll add a little grilled chicken or canned fish.
Dinner:
Grilled chicken breast or baked salmon
Steamed green vegetable (broccoli, green beans, peas, spinach, brussel sprouts) w/ olive oil
Second vegetable (eggplant, mushrooms, zucchini, squash) or 1/4 cup of whole grain (brown rice, quinoa, barley)
Small salad with lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, and carrots with oil and vinegar dressing
Snacks:
Oranges, apples, grapes, carrots, and nuts
I drink pretty much exclusively water. I'll have an occasional cup of tea during the day. I sometimes have a beer or a glass or two of wine with dinner.
There are some variations, but I basically stick to this most days. I'll splurge a day or two per week. I love pork and red meat. I love pasta. I also love to cook with butter, and I love eating out. I try not to deny myself the chance to enjoy certain foods, but I just greatly limit the times I enjoy those things. If I'm eating out or traveling, I generally ignore my standard diet.
