I'm very boring -- I tend to eat the same things most of the time.

Breakfast:  
Three slices of bacon, eggs scrambled with shredded cheddar OR
Protein shake -- cream, water, unflavored soy protein, vanilla syrup
(sometimes a Tbsp. of peanut butter) OR
LC tortilla rolled up with peanut butter OR
Flax seed cereal - flax meal, crushed almonds, boiling water, SF
syrup, topped with a splash of cream

... and coffee. Always a mug or two of coffee, with cream

Lunch:
Buffalo wings with blue cheese dressing and 1 cup steamed broccoli OR
Taco salad (1/2 cup beef/chorizo/spice mix, 2 cups lettuce, cheddar,
sour cream) OR
Cold sliced meat (roast beef, chicken, turkey, leftover pork chop) and
small salad OR
Corned beef or pastrami rolled up with cheese and mustard in a LC
tortilla, nuked to heat OR
Burger patty, topped with cheese, and small salad

Dinner:
Protein source -- ribeye steak (sometimes Cajun spiced, sometimes not)
OR
Pork chop OR
Roast chicken OR
Tofu lasagna OR
Taco salad OR
Pot Roast OR
Salmon (or other fish)

plus side dish -- small salad OR
Steamed broccoli OR
Mashed cauliflower ("fauxtatoes") OR
Roasted green beans with gorgonzola

That's pretty much it. Sometimes I'll make a pot of chili and we'll
get a few meals out of that, and this week I'm making my favorite
slow-cooker recipe, Chicken and Artichoke Casserole:
http://southernfood.about.com/library/cprec/bl23_8.htm .

I snack as needed, but not much. If I'm genuinely hungry, it usually
means it's coming up on meal time. Occasionally I'll have cheese or
peanut butter on a Wasa cracker if I'm peckish, or a couple of deviled
eggs.

I do eat off-plan sometimes, but never more than one meal and never
outlandishly. As I said in the increasingly controversial Russell
Stover's thread, a few times a week I'll eat two RS mint patties,
generally when I'm at a movie or visiting friends who snack on
chocolate and cookies and such when I'm visiting -- I basically treat
myself to them in self-defense, when I'm surrounded by snacks I don't
want to eat.

I drink a fair amount of water, plus a couple of cups of coffee in the
morning and a caffeinated soda in the afternoon. I also drink a couple
of decaf sodas during the day and herb tea late in the evening (Tazo
Calm, mostly). And I take a small handful of the usual supplements.

Thank you!

I tend to make big batches of various things and then freeze them, mostly because
I don't want to waste the veggies I usually use (and I use a LOT of veggies).  
Overall, by making these really BIG batches, the ingredients tend to balance out
lower carb-wise.  I like eggplant lasagna (8.5 carbs/~300 cals per 1 cup
serving), taco filling (9.5 carbs/266 cals), super vegetable soup (6.3 carbs/100
cals per cup).  I usually have a bowl of flax/hazelnut/protein powder cereal
every other day.  I sometimes I have Foster Farms hot wings that I buy in big
bags at Costco.  If I'm making a meal of them, I usually have 8 of them at 2
carbs/340 cals.  Sometimes I make ribs in a slow-cooker, but they are a LOT
harder to quantify.  I usually just call a serving of them 1 carb (residual BBQ
sauce) and about 500 calories and it seems to work out well.  I LOVE the Jumbo
New England scallops I get at Trader Joe's.  I marinate them in soy sauce, oil,
lime juice, garlic powder and a few herbs, then grill them on my Foreman grill.  
Sometimes I make a chicken salad with canned (or leftover) chicken, green onions,
celery, cheese & mayo.

I make busy salads (9 carbs/270 cals).  I usually make about 5 wide-mouth mason
jars worth at a time, then use a FoodSaver to seal them and eat over the
following week.  Over the last couple of weeks I've decided that I don't romaine
well enough to keep bothering with the effort it takes to keep it fresh (once you
wash them, they are hard to get dry enough to keep fresh, so if I have it, it's
on an individual day's basis.  I make a base salad of celery, green onions,
cherry tomatoes and jicama.  When I take them out to eat, I usually add a stick
of cheddar or colby/jack cheese, two tbl almonds, maybe a Tbl of flaxmeal and 2
Tbl Marie's guacamole for dressing.  If I can afford the calories and I have a
ripe one, I like to add an entire avocado.  Sometimes I'll add cucumber and/or
red bell pepper.  If I feel like I can afford the calories, sometimes I just plop
plain old mayo on it for dressing -- mayo tastes pretty damn good all by itself

often end up making two meals out of them.  I may add tuna to the second one.  
Not long after starting Atkins (I think) I bought 4 HUGE plastic salad bowls at
an Aisan grocery store and I LOVE them.  They are GREAT for tossing salads to my
heart's content without getting it all over the place, and since I usually eat
alone, no one is looking askance :-)  (You may have figured out by now that I
tend to do what works for ME -- after all, most of the time it has no effect
whatsoever on anyone ELSE, so why not march to my own drummer?)

For snacks, I have 5-10 Ready-Crisp bacon slices almost every day (5 VERY thin
slices, 0 carbs/117 cals).  Sometimes I make rollups of Land O' Frost shaved
smoked ham (SUPER thin slices) with 1 tsp or so of cream cheese mixed with salsa
(.5 carbs/30 cals each).  I've been having either a CarbSmart vanilla ice cream
bar (7 carbs/170 cals) or dished vanilla and/or 1/2 cup chocolate ice cream (7
carbs/130 cals (but sometimes I have an entire cup)) pretty much every day over
the last month or so).  Sometimes I melt a cheddar stick in the microwave for a
cheese crisp (.5 carb/114 cals).  Sometimes I make a dessert of cream cheese
mixed with baking chocolate (or coffee flavoring) & Splenda.  

I try to get some of everything every day, but I can't eat a lot at one time, so
I tend not to have "traditional" meals of a hunk of meat along with veggies.  I
usually have either have a mixed dish (such as lasagna), a hunk of
meat/fish/poultry OR a bunch of veggies as a meal in and of itself.  That's just
my style.  I try to make sure I get different food groups in throughout the day,
but I'm not always successful.  I've been averaging about 1400 cals/day.  
Strawberries are coming back in season now, so I'll have to be more careful --
not of the strawberries, but of the calorie-laden whipped cream I like to put on
TOP of them :-)  I used to have a 1/2 carton on top of the strawberries, but now
I usually have 1/4 of it as a serving.  Sometimes I have Carb Countdown chocolate
dairy beverage (usually diluted and nuked).  Over the last couple of months I've
developed a dessert I really like of 1 slice of Orowheat low-carb bread slathered
on both sides with a mix of 1 Tbl butter, 1/2 tsp cinnamon and some liquid
Splenda, then cooked for 5 minutes in my Belgian waffle-maker.  I have it a
couple of times a week, maybe.  If I can afford the calories, I also like to have
macadamia nuts.  

I usually have a couple of cups of decaf coffe per day, with half&half and liquid
splenda.  Sometimes I'll have that when I FEEL like eating something and it
satisfies me.  

Based on my experience so far, I realize that I HAVE to cut calories in order to
lose more consistently.  When my calories were consistently over 1400 cals per
day (1600-1900 usually), I lost VERY slowly.  I cut way back on the whipped
cream, cheesecake, macadamias, etc., starting the second week of January, and the
weight loss ramped up.
