Similar to others.

Breakfast: croissant or bagel if available, toast with butter or jam if not. Sometimes cereal. A banana usually as well.
Lunch: Turkey sandwiches, quesadillas, burritos, tacos. Often leftovers from dinner. If we do takeout for dinner, like a bowl from Chipotle or Thai food, I will almost always still have half available for lunch the next day.
Dinner: Pasta, casseroles, pizza, big salads (with meat and cheese), Mexican food, chicken and rice, falafel sandwiches— a lot of variety here. Also will usually do a side salad if dark greens, nuts, and dried fruit if the entree isn’t veggie-heavy enough. But try to incorporate veggies as much as possible.
Snacks: chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, sometimes baked goods
I also usually drink a Coke a day, but I drink it from 2liter bottles, not cans, so it’s probably less than 12 oz when I fill a class with ice and pour Coke over it. Otherwise water.

I eat until I’m full but I get full very easily. I always find restaurant it takes out portions way too big. Also, I eat homemade food about 90% of the time. Even make my own bread often. I mention this because I think commercial food often has a lot more salt, sugar, and preservatives than homemade. I know a lot of what I eat sounds like junk to people, but to me, a burger we made at home on homemade buns with fresh veggies and a homemade burger sauce? We’re not making it “healthy”— it’s not a whole grain bun or a veggie burger and we use real butter and stuff— but it’s probably a lot better for me than a fast food or restaurant burger.

So I think it’s a combo of being genetically predisposed to be thin, eating a lot of home cooked meals, small portions, and staying active. I think people often look at my diet and just see “pizza, burgers, coke, sweets” and don’t look at the whole picture. Yes, that’s in there. But I’m also a really active person who eats a spinach salad almost every day. I don’t eat junk.[/quote]
