What do you eat nearly every day?

I eat at the college dining hall and have a big salad almost everyday, plus a bowl of whatever kind of soup they are serving, if it's mostly vegetable.

It varies

Breakfast -usually cereal. I mix Cheerios, wheat flakes and puffed wheat cereal. Fat free milk

Lunch-Subway turkey wrap. With mustard and a sweet potato or a Boca burger and a sweet potato or an egg beater wrap and a sweet potato

Snack-Apple

Dinner-different all the time. Most of my calories I save for dinner

Pancakes, chicken, tuna, pizza, turkey burgers, salad, veggies. I drink tons of water with dinner and try to eat slowly.

I can't list exact meals but here are some of my staple foods:

Laughing Cow Light Cheese Wedges (I prefer the garlic and herb) 35 cal apiece and ridiculously savoury
35 cal wheat bread
Wasa Crackers
Fat free cheddar cheese
Part skim mozzarella (fat free does NOT melt well at all in my experience)
Whole wheat spaghetti
SmartOnes Mac and Cheese
South Beach Pizzas
Strawberries (and sometimes for a treat the fat free whipped cream - 5 cals for 3 tablespoons), blueberries, raspberries, etc
100 cal packs for period time!  I make my own by getting the food in the 100 cal pack and measuring it out into sandwich bags using a food scale and the nutrition info.
Salsa
Skinny Cow or Slim a bear ice cream sandwiches (one is 100 cal and one is 140 but slightly larger, I keep both on hand)

quaker instant oatmeal with apples and cinnamon

dairyland's 1% partly skimmed milk lactose free

cookies

water!

whole wheat bread

Weekdays I always have a yogurt with either some fiber one in it or a few almonds on the side. Also a granny smith apple or bananna.  My weekends vary quite a bit. I have a poached or boiled egg and some ww toast.  Sometimes I have egg beaters with bell peppers onion and garlic in it.  Maybe oatmeal..

Lunch or dinner vary quite a bit but I would say 99% of the time I have garlic with both meals.  I love to roast a head of garlic on the grill with a bit of evoo drizzled on it and eat the whole head.  Once they are nicely roasted the cloves slide right out of the skin like butter. I know its a little much for most people but I love it and garlic is good for you!mmmm

instant oatmeal packets

apples

ice cream

i almost always have a slice of Ezekiel sprouted grain bread, toasted, dry and a cup of very strong, freshly ground, french pressed coffee w/tsp of agave nectar & 3 tbsp half & half.  i've tried all the alts for the dairy, but i always consume more sugar or cals to get the taste right so i just do what i like here.  its just one cup a day.

lots of water, celery and carrot sticks.

luna bar - almost daily i have one as a snack if i work out.

post workout shake: 1.5 cups unsweetened silk soy milk, 1 frozen banana, carb-free, unsweet protein powder shake mix - soy based.

a salad of greens and assorted non-starchy veggies, raw with 4-5 oz of lean protein; chicken, tofu, tempeh, sometimes a boiled egg, and a vinaigrette of some sort.  an alt, if i feel i need the carbs will be switching out the protein for a whole grain like tabouleh or some kind of bean salad or hummous. 

dinner is almost always some meat dish and non-statchy veggies either steamed or sauteed. 

favorite snacks are popcorn with a little Earth Balance melted to get my seasoning salt to stick: sea salt (ground finely) old bay & nutritional yeast - ground up in my mortar & pestle. 

i also like Wheatettes - organic wheat crackers with peanut butter. 

oh, also - an apple, cored & sliced into 8 pieces with a tbsp of peanut butter - YUM!

i guess ryvita crisp bread (mostly rye). im not a big bread fan so i would normally subsitute ryvita for bread or i of course would put something on top of it. for something sweet, some pj & honey or for something savory extra light laughing cow (when i eat cheese) with some relish. i much perfer onion seeded crisp bread (dont know the brand) but its more money. ryvita is cheap & low cal & has some nutrients.

not big on supplements but of late i bought promax whey protein powder. it was just supposed to be an experiment for a post weight lifting meal but i started drinking it before i walk to work in the mornings as i just can't eat regular food when i wake up. it's actually made me feel better by the time i get to work. better than nothing in the mornings.

oh, that reminds me, rnjt, nutritional yeast - i put it on a lot of stuff. it makes a great savory sort of sauce with xvoo on things like broccoli, potatoes or tofu. it's also really good on rice. i use xvoo on a lot of stuff. i get a lot of fat in my diet as a result, but it's the good fat. i realize i get a lot of my calories from it - 120 cals per tbsp, but its worth it! the italian in me luvs it!

 do you get any problems from eating so much yeast or is it a different kind of yeast that infests our bodies, like can you eat that if you have candida (i dont but just curious)

no, nutritional yeast is 'dead.' it has been pasteurized so it's not actively feeding like the yeast in your gut.  also, it's a different strain called saccharomyces.  it's very beneficial.  some ppl claim it can have an effect on candida, but i have dealt with candidiasis and never experienced this myself. 

wheat bread, peanut butter, fruit, sugar free candy, splenda tea, diet coke, coffee

those are my usual staples

i looked into this and wanted to make sure i say that the product i buy is made by NOW.  it is nutritional yeast, not brewer's yeast.  the latter is a byproduct of making beer.  the label on the jar i have even says it does not contain candida or aggravate candidiasis.
