I have unintentionally become pescatarian recently because I’ve come to realize that fish have a lot of nutritional value. So far, my meal plan looks like this:
Breakfast
- 3 eggs
- 1 slice of Ezekial bread toasted
- Mixed berry smoothie with banana, peanut powder, collagen peptides, chia, creatine, non-fat greek yogurt, and water
Lunch
- 2 tin cans of sardines, mashed
- Non-fat greek yogurt
- Tzaziki sauce
- Lemon
- Black pepper
- 2 slices of Ezekial bread toast or one ezekial tortilla, depending on my mood
Dinner
- Shrimp kebabs made with olive oil and veggies
- 1 corn roll or asparagus
Some days I’ll switch out my dinner for a salmon salad / salmon wrap, or I’ll change the shrimp kebabs for a shrimp ceasar wrap with a nice avocado oil based dressing. Being pescatarian is really great because it’s easier to make, shelf life lasts very long, and it’s generally cheaper than buying meats.
Bruh I’m just trying to survive out here
I feel you. People here seem to be so particular about their diets? Wtf is Ezekiel bread, and how do they manage to make it look like the blandest white bread one could imagine? Why is there baby food with added protein now? So many questions???
Breakfast: Coffee, maybe with milk.
Lunch: Usually nothing, maybe a salad.
Dinner: BurritosIt works for me
the bowel mover diet
I’m in the UK. Wtf is ‘Ezekial’ bread?
It comes from the Bible, Ezekiel has some stuff of what should be in bread. (It is pronted on the packaging all over) Its sprouted and has like 11 different seeds in it. It is usually in the organic freezer section in stores.
Even if you don’t care for the origin story - it supposedly really good stuff, it tastes good also.Why is it frozen?
There are no chemicals added - so the shelflife isn’t comparable to the “regular bread”.
Also, they are not cheap and well hidden so I don’t think it is particularly a fly off the shelves item.
Also UK but I looked it up - bread made from sprouted grain/legumes instead of normal flour.
Breakfast: no fucking way you chase me out of bed in time.
Lunch: leftovers from dinner.
Dinner: 300g of meat/ fish/ chicken. Salad (usually red onion, lettuce, peppers, feta cheese, cucumber).
I’ve got about 80% adherence to this diet. Either my belt has gotten longer or my waist has gotten smaller.
Not sure how old you are but you might want to mind the sodium content of the two tins of sardines. They likely exceed your daily allotment. I know people don’t worry about these things when they’re young but tge habits you build now will be with you when it does matter, and they will be hard to change.
I’m 22, and believe it or not, I actually lost 120lbs over the course of 8 years. I have a whole spreadsheet dedicated to my meals which shows me everything (Calories, fats, mono/poly, sodium, fiber, etc.) I try my very best to make sure I’m healthy, tracking everything down to the gram.
Right now, I’m averaging about 2000mg sodium a day, and the seafood also provides a sufficient amount of Iodine too.
Thank you for showing concern at least haha, you’re right that people need to build these habits early on.

I checked a can i have of Brunswick brand sardines in olive oil. That has 16% DV or 370mg. If theirs is similar, it looks like they may just get other sodium from the bread or tortilla or when they do caesar and they might be fine.
Brunch: pemmican
Dinner: every now and then pemmican
Snacks: none
One to two meals a day is the win
Heyyyy +1 for pemmican! I almost never hear anyone talk about it nowadays.
It’s pretty much all I eat :) the simplest portable whole food
Yeah, that would be because the popularity of it peaked in the 1800s. And it contributed to the near extinction of the American Bison.
It was deliberate action by European settlers that drove bison to near extinction. Amerindians had been making bison pemmican for thousands of years sustainably
Buffalo Bill wasn’t making pemmican, he was trying to destroy the food supply of the natives
I’d like a recipe for pemmican pretty please … I’ve never tried it but imagine it must be tasty and practical
Ingredients: Meat Rendered fat of the meat
I use beef and beef tallow
Method: Dry the meat to bone dry, much drier than jerky Blend, grind, or pound the meat to powder Weigh the meat, with out the same mass of fat Melt the fat Form a well in the meat powder, pour in the fat Stir or mix until all meat is saturated with fat Tip the mix into a mold.
I make about 3 kilos of pemmican each batch, so my fresh meat is about 5kg, it dries to 1.5kg and I add 1.5kg tallow
Thank you so much!
Be warned, you need to be fat adapted to enjoy it. Very low carb or carnivore
My lard eating habits make the food pyramid rotate in its grave, I’ll probably be fine.

I’m on a high fat diet.
yeah high protein + high fat seems to rule
Make it high in animal fat and get rid of seed extract oils for better health
You’ve been getting advice from the brain worm controlling that leather handbag.
Reading the comments mine might be the weirdest…
Breakfast:
- bowl of all bran and special k with cow milk
- “adult formula” blended with almond milk. It’s like feeding tube stuff as a dry powder. I struggle to eat enough calories per day without it so my doctor prescribed it, it’s “nutritionally complete”
- electrolytes potion. Magnesium and vitamin C effervescent with a pinch of salt in coconut water
- small cup of Turkish coffee
- two squares of dark chocolate
Lunch
- sliced strawberries and banana with cream
- low GI crunchy bread (Bürgen) with hummus
Dinner
One of:
- vegetable and meat stew
- wholemeal spaghetti with nooch and olive oil and feta cheese
- chicken thigh with wild rice and cucumber salad
- salmon with wild rice and cucumber salad
- whatever leftovers are gifted to me (as long as it doesn’t have sugar or loads of simple carbs)
I have prediabetes along with a dozen other health conditions lol
I just try to not eat too much processed food and go to the gym
I don’t really eat meals. I’m more of a grazer
I am here reading and snorting a bit about how particular some people are about their food and its protein content, and wondering who can afford all that salmon and greek yoghurt … although, I’m fussy about my food as well, just in a different way.
Morning is home made sourdough, butter, cheese, often an egg, sometimes meat. Lunch is the same, if I don’t forget. Dinner is either insane amounts of meat and vegetable, all home raised and grown, or something insanely unhealthy, like 1l of custard or a ramen soup or two pieces of cake. Meals I forget are replaced by coffee and a blunt (lots of small meals throughout the day are good for you!).
It’s balanced in the way that very unhealthy things are combined with top quality stuff in a balanced way. 🧐
Since I often forget to eat I always have to have a quick option available, therefore custard and ramen are the lesser evils. Other than that I try to produce everything myself out of local ingredients and eat really well for really cheap.
Mediterranean diet, more or less.
Breakfast: toasts with grated tomatoes and olive oil, smoked salmon spread or some pate
Lunch: lentils, beans or chickpeas twice a week, pasta, tortilla, croquetas, stuff like that
Dinner: salad, fish, chicken or some omelette. some vegetables + bit of wine
I do more of a 5 meal thing lately. I became very regimented over the last couple years.
Morning is a 2 hour procession of water, protein coffee, regular coffee, and oatmeal.
Late morning is a piece of Ezekiel toast with a light cream cheese spread and either smoked salmon or sliced chicken breast on it.
Early afternoon is often a full or half banana. Late afternoon is protein drink and either a banana or a rice cake with honey. These two mini meals bookend my workout.
Dinner is the wild card. Chicken, salmon, shrimp, scallops, tuna… all fair game. Usually with a vegetable and a an egg or half avocado.
Then my night snack is usually Greek yogurt with something mixed in. Mix ins range from Stur to blueberries to peanut butter… just depends on the day. I’ve also been known to do a hard boiled egg or two instead.

Late morning…
what fantasy world you guys live in where you can afford SECOND BREAKFAST???
and what about PO-TA-TOES???
Maybe I’m just tired after a 13 hour construction work day, but what is ezekial bread? Is this a christian bread?! And why? I googled it and it just seems to be whole grain bread?
I have:
Breakfast: random toast (peanut butter) or oatmeal (dried fruits)
Lunch: Apple, cheap superstore granola bar, Sandwiches - Winnipeg rye, lettuce sand which meat, homemade mayo, cheddar, random other ingredients. or Bulk homemade burritos - whole wheat tortillas, black beans, eggs, salsa, cheese, rice, random other ingredients.
Supper: wild variety of different meals.
Ha, can’t comment on the name but it’s a flourless bread, using sprouted grains instead. It has good macros for a bread, too. I’m a convert from 88 cent Aldi loafs.
Wild. It seems like it must be popular, there a bunch of comments here with it! I guess I am really not in the same kind of meal planning world the rest of the commenters are in! These have been really entertaining & educational for me to read.
For me it’s
Breakfast: Wholegraim bread with a Banana (sometimes a nut spread) + Coffee
Luch: Currently due to the heat wave some type of bean salat with tofu bites and a protein bar.
Dinner: Proteinshake & lentin wavers with hummus and some vegies & vegan cold cuts.
