Usually no breakfast, lunch - idk, dinner at home (something meat-y).

Any Diet Details?
Had breakfast of course:
Bread with Eggs or cheese or ham. Cereals/Muesli/Granola with full fat milk. Avocado on wholemeal bread
Green Tea with lemon, fruit juice (pineapple, orange, mango, red fruit juice,...)
snacking:
all kind of fruits (banana, pineapple, mango, apples, berries,..), cookies, crackers, nuts, sometimes an egg, cheese, chestnuts,... vegetable juice
lunch was usually leftovers from dinner and if necessary I'd add some eggs or meat to have enough proteins.
fruit juice and water
snacking again
dinner would be something like pasta with meat sauce, fried rice with vegetables and meat, pizza, fries with sausages .. anything the children would eat too :) again lots of fluids (water, fruit or veg. juices, green or black tea)
bedtime snack was usually potato chips, nuts, yogurt, tea
the week from AF to O I added (or replaced other drinks with) coconut water and grapefruit juice.
I also added gelatine shots (so gross) here and there when I had the feeling of not having enough protein. For the ones wondering: I used 1-2 teaspoons of bovine gelatine powder in a a shot glass with (lemon) juice and when I was really courageous that day I'd add a squashed clove of garlic into the mix :P
