This is what I typically eat on a daily basis:Breakfast: Porridge
Snack: Fruit or low fat yoghurt
Lunch: Chicken sandwich with low fat mayo, bag of reduced fat crisps, low fat yoghurt.
Snack: Fruit
Dinner: Anything I would normally eat really, as long as the portions are reduced. I try avoid fried foods etc though. (but still treat yourself every now and again)
This combined with going to the Gym 3 times a week has lost me a stone since Xmas.
The big thing to remember is that it's not what you eat that is the problem - it's HOW MUCH you eat. The easiest diet in the world is eat what you normally would, but half the portion size.

My day goes as:7am - Gym - Weights (4 times a week)
Breakfast - porrige/Wheatabix + protein shake
no morning snacks
Lunch - Sandwich or salad (lots of lean meat/tuna for protein
Snack - apple + harvest bar
Run - 6 miles plus (3 times a week)
Dinner - Grilled chicken/steak other meat plus a mountain of veg and a pile of carbs.
When i first started this i lost 1 kg a week for 6 weeks, and then maintained a nice healthy weight.
snacking is the real killer when it comes to weight loss, so i try to stave off hunger with drinking lots of water and tea. It's lunch and I've already drank 4 pints of water, 2 cups of tea and a can of diet coke. Loo breaks stop me working too hard and break up the day!
