I've lost 35+ pounds within the past two years by increasing my activity and eating better. I am not at my goal weight, yet, but am working on it.
For breakfast, I try to include a whole grain (like oatmeal), a dairy product (like Greek yogurt), a protein (like pecans) and fruit (usually blueberries or bananas). I typically have oatmeal, but I have smoothies, as well. This week I have been having egg sandwiches.
At lunch time, I usually have dinners leftovers. Sometimes, I will make a sandwich or salad.
I try to have a small snack before dinner. It varies, but sometimes I will have 1/2 of a turkey and cheese sandwich, a smoothie, fruit, or maybe popcorn.

For dinner, I try to include a whole grain (again). Whole wheat pasta and brown rice are favorites. We also add a protein- like turkey kielbasa, chicken breast, beans, occasionally lean beef. I also try to include a dairy product for this meal like shredded cheese and/or sour cream. I try to pack veggies into all of our dinners- whatever is in season.
As I mentioned, I usually have dinner's leftovers for lunch time. I make enough so that both my husband and I can have dinner's leftovers. I try to have lots of vegetables for lunch, as well. I will add a salad or steamed vegetables if I have to.
