Favorite regular meals

What is your favorite breakfast, lunch, and dinner? Not special occasion meals, but ones that would fit into your typical daily calorie/macro goals.

Favorite breakfast:
About 4 oz spicy italian chicken sausage links, a bunch of veggies (kale, cauliflower, tomatoes, beans, onion, etc.), sauteed with olive oil, cayenne, herbes de provence, and garlic.
1/4 cup oatmeal
Coffee with 100g whole milk, turmeric, cumin, and cinnamon

Favorite lunch:
Indian style lentils
This includes lentil mix, chickpeas, tomato puree, garam masala, jalapeno, and various veggies like mushrooms, kale, spinach, onion, carrots, parsnips, ginger, turmeric, etc.
Pulled pork (4oz)
Fresh cilantro

Favorite dinner:
Rosemary baked chicken
Just bake up some chicken thighs with olive oil or butter, lemon, rosemary, garlic and various veggies
I usually pair it with salad or some kind of starch, pasta of course is a good choice

I'm generally aiming all meals for 450-550 kcals.

Egg white omelettes are a new fave for me, healthy and low calorie

Do you eat for breakfast or any time? I actually have a psychological block with eggs, but I'm working on it.

They just aren't the same as a whole egg omelet. Nom Nom Nom Nom

I do 1 whole egg plus 2 egg whites. Scrambled with s&p and a little sharp cheddar cheese.

I also frequently have greek yogurt with berries, waffles with pb2 and honey; tortilla with cheese, chicken, and salsa; salad with 2-3 oz rotisserie chicken and fat free ranch.

Breakfast, lunch or just a snack for me

Unknown

The only meal I have a standard menu for is breakfast:

2 egg omelet with greens + 1-2 other veggies + feta with either fruit and dairy or smoked salmon on the side. 350-450 calories.

Standard dinner is: meat, at least 2 veggies, plus starch or root vegetable in almost any combination (my pasta dishes fit this format). Extras (olives, avocado, dairy, fruit) may be added based on calories available/the rest of the day/whether I want dessert.

Lunch varies a lot.

Unknown

Breakfast these days are usually steel cut oats with currants and yogurt. I also like egg muffins, pumpernickel, and refrigerator oatmeal (heavy on the yogurt).
My favourite lunches are leftovers from the night before.
I am most routine with my snacks which includes 20 g of old, light cheddar, hummus, crackers, and a fruit.

Yes, but what is your favorite version of the dinner?

That's the fun and challenge of this thread, picking your favorite!

I did not have too much trouble with breakfast or lunch, dinner was hard, I also really like salmon or trout.

My favorite lunch is 1 cup of plain steamed broccoli with about 20 unsalted raw almonds, yummm

That's too hard! This is why I could never be one of those people who eat the same thing all the time.

Lately it's been rainbow trout with a mix of sweet potatoes, parsnips, and carrots, plus green beans and summer squash. But I loved my pork chop last night, so will put in a plug for: pan roasted pork chop with apples and sauerkraut, with roasted Brussels sprouts, and, hmm, some cauliflower plus turnips or celeriac.

Breakfast sounds delish! Love more lentil ideas too. Any kind of spices in your lentil stew?
