So far today, nothing (well, water) until 1 PM, when I had:

Dale's Bar, vanilla cashew flavor, a cup of coffee, and my morning vitamins: 3 potassium capsules, 2 fish oil capsules, and 1 daily multi-vitamin.

Edit - had 15 minutes to eat something before heading out to an evening rehearsal. My wife had been kind enough to make meat pies of a sort - ground beef, peas and corn, onions, all inside of puff pastry. Delicious but I had only time to eat one of them. She used frozen puff pastry, so one pie was the size of an apple turnover because that's how it came in the package.

When I got home, had some pulled pork on a roll with roasted tomatoes, about 10:30 PM.

Tuesday, February 2, 2016:

10 AM: Small, whole-milk, organic, coffee-flavored, Brown Cow brand yogurt. Melted a spoon of coconut oil in the bowl first, added 3 big spoonfuls of homemade nut butter, then the yogurt. Had with coffee and water.

1 PM: Dale's Bar, graham cracker flavor, with coffee, water

5 PM: Some take-out Chinese food - we are working with RHS Jamboree | RHS Scholarships since 1947 as music directors, the show opens tomorrow night, and our time is not our own. We'll likely eat leftovers of this tomorrow night for dinner.

Edit - at an evening rehearsal, I was still hungry, and someone brought me pulled pork on a roll. It was yummy. :) 8 PM or so.

8:30 AM: 1 spoon of coconut oil, 3 spoons of homemade almond butter, and half of a small banana, mixed together in a bowl, with coffee and water, followed by my usual morning vitamins (3 potassium capsules, 2 fish oil capsules, and 1 daily multi-vitamin).

Edit - had to teach without a break from 3:15 to 7:00 PM and then go straight to play the show, so had a Dale's Bar at 2:30 and then just picked at leftover Chinese food between lessons. Having some more of it now, at 10:30 PM. Had a cupcake at the show.

There are veggies. Burrito has veggies, eggplant is a veggie, Dale's bars are vegan, almond butter is vegan, meat pie had peas and corn. For me, that's enough at this time of the year. I don't like salads in the winter, couldn't tell you why.

My wife wanted to celebrate the fact that we had a few lessons cancel and it wasn't dark out yet at 5:00 PM, so we took a walk into town, and we decided to stop at the local Mexican place and get an order of nachos and bring it home.

6:00 PM - marinated pork tenderloin, zucchini with onions, above-mentioned nachos.

9:00 PM - still hungry, so small portion of leftover cheese lasagna, the few remaining nachos.

@Steve Freides It looks like you are trying to make it two meals per day, tring to skip lunch..or making it light. That's excellent in my opinion. You get the benefit of (partial) fasting, and you are really hungry at the end of the day..you can even afford to indulge in bit of 'junk' food with not much harm.
 
I am following the Warrior Diet, at least in my mind. It's undereating during the day and overeating at dinner.

8 - 9 AM - vitamins, almond butter, half a Dale's Bar my son didn't finish yesterday, water, coffee w/ cream while doing kitchen chores, answering email/forum, and chatting on the phone.

3 PM - another Dale's Bar

7 PM - sometimes life is just good. My wife and I had decided to go out to dinner tonight, in part because the big volunteer project we just finished working on had given us a gift card for a local restaurant that would cover part of the bill.

Shortly after we sat down, a couple, both cast members from the project, came over to say hello and thank us for all we'd done. When they walked away from our table, we thought they were leaving the restaurant, but they came back and handed us another gift card, this one for an unknown amount that turned out to be more than the first one, and my wife and I ended up having dinner for free.

Lovely meal, had a drink with it, and coffee and dessert afterwards. Sometimes, life is just good. Three appetizers: potato-leek soup, crab cake, ravioli; one entree, surf-and-turf, all shared between my wife and me.
