What do you eat in a typical day?

[luna moth]

I have such a food routine it's stupid:

Breakfast 1: 1 cup soy milk, then cycle 15km
Breakfast 2: 1 cup home made baked beans - I do them overnight in the slow cooker with carrot, capsicum and tomato.
Lunch: Avocado on rice cakes (5) OR salad with croutons OR vegetable soup with 2 slices toast
Snack: Banana or raisin toast.
Dinner: Hot meal that is 50% vegies, 50% carbs (some of each forms protein count) I guess it's about a cup and a half?
Green tea.

Oats are great to have in the morning, or porridge. Or a smoothie like someone pointed out. Try adding a Protein Shake to your breakfast, if you make your weetbix with a choc protein shake it makes it really yummy!

For lunch I would whack a lot more stuff in the sandwhich! Mine are overflowing and thats just the way I like them! I have bread (Tip Top do a 100% wholegrain bread thats really good) avocado instead of butter, ham (or tuna) chicken is ok, turkey is best but it's so fricken expensive! the I chuck in cucumber, lettuce (anything but iceberg - it's pointless, no goodness in it really at all), capsicum, mung beans, snowpea sprouts and alfalfa. Yummo!!!

This is my diet but bear in mind I exercise like a fiend and can burn up to 1200cals in any one day...

Breakfast - Protein Shake, Coffee, 4xWeetbix
Morning Tea - Protein bar if i'm on the run or yoghurt with chopped up fruit in it if at home and another protein shake
Lunch - Sandwhich (see above) and piece of fruit (if feeling naughty I have an iceblock)
Afternoon tea - 6x cornthins made like 3 sandwhiches with a filling of sundried tom and onion tuna and phillie
Dinner - Usually a stirfry or pasta. We have rice most nights (Basmati is the best I think) but at least once maybe twice a week we have pasta. I try not to make potatoes all that often.

Thanks so much for your replies.
You all eat so well! It really makes me notice how much of a terrible eater I really am and in addition, when I think I am doing ok, it really is not good at all!
I will take on board adding protein for breakfast - I try to have an egg occassionally, but it is a bit hard the days I am at work, plus I am on the train by 5.30am and I am too lazy to get up earlier to eat a protein breakfast. I will bulk up my sandwiches at lunch or add a side salad.
Thanks again!

That sounds like an excelent eating plan to me! I would put a little something extra in your lunch to though, like a meat of some sort maybe? (tuna?) Otherwise, yum!
I'm shocking with food atm, i need to start eating *better* I basically eat when my stomach starts to hit my back bone lately, and I often skip breakfast altogether and have your normal lunch (salad roll or something) and dinner (meat with steamed veggies). Naughty Naughty!
Good job hun!

I wish my stomach could stick to my backbone - sadly I have too much padding! hehe
