Thanks for the sweet words! Here are the highlights of my food. Hope it helps!

Breakfast: Weekdays I eat what's below. Weekends are a toss up. If i can swing it, I just try to make it a brunch so I save breakfast calories.

• 160 calories | Premier Protein Shake - The chocolate one tastes amazing on its own. If I buy the vanilla one, I will mix it with ice and some coffee and it's the world's best venti sized Iced Vanilla Latte! Protip: buy them at Costco!
  
• 130 calories | Quaker Instant Original Oatmeal - I used to eat this every morning with 1/2 cup vanilla almond milk. It was nice when it's cold out and kept me full.
  
  Lunch/Dinner: Usually it's one of these recipes below. I try to keep meals under/around 300 calories to make room for dessert and snacks!!
  
  
• 324 calories | Baked Chicken with Dijon and Lime with a [Caprese Salad] (http://imgur.com/a/lWIyU) (spinach/arugula, 8 cherry tomatos sliced, 1 tbsp Botlhouse Farms Lite Balsamic Vinaigrette, 0.25 oz nuts, 1 oz fresh mozzarella) - best meal ever and great for meal prep.
  
• 150 calories | Shirataki Stir Fry Noodles (some combo of meat/vegetables with shirataki noodles with a sauce of 1 tsp PB2, 0.5 tbsp sriracha, 1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce, garlic)
  
• 200 calories | Tomato Basil Zoodles - I replace the goat cheese with a Laughing Cow Cheese Wedge and add some chicken.
  
• 245 calories | Spicy Sesame Zoodles with Crispy Tofu - I reduce all the quantities so I can make it low calorie and use PB2 instead of real PB.
  
• 300 calories | Tom Yum Soup with Fresh Tofu and Mixed Vegetables - I love Thai food and this has been the best/low calorie dish I can find on the menu. Remember to ask for fresh tofu though and then they will charge extra for veggies but it's worth it!
  
• 300 calories | Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich (on Sara Lee bread, PB2 and jelly) with Oven Baked Chips
  
• 188 calories | Tuna Sandwich with a pickle (on Sara Lee bread with Tuna Creations and light mayo)
  
• 250 calories | Turkey Sandwich (on Sara Lee Bread with Sriracha Deli Chicken Breast and spicy brown mustard) with Special K BBQ Chips
  
• 220 calories | BBQ Seasoned Chicken Chopped Salad from Safeway - they have some great prepackaged salads if you need something quickly. I usually will add more lettuce to make it feel like I'm eating a lot!
  
  These are my go to meals but I will always venture into skinnytaste.com to find something new!
  
  Snacks/Desserts: I LOVE SNACKS. That's why I keep my meals low calorie. I eat the most snacks between lunch and dinner (usually pace myself with 1 an hour between 2pm and 4pm)
  
  
• Fruits! I eat watermelon and grapes a lot cause all the water makes me feel really full (the feeling that you miss when you start dieting). I will also eat different berries, pears, peaches, apples, etc.
  
• 140 calories | FiberOne Oats and Chocolate - I ended up buying the Costco box so I'm getting through that. Also I need fiber in my diet when i eat too much protein
  
• 80-130 calories | Dannon Light and Fit Greek yogurt - the ones with toppings are my FAVORITE. Without toppings, they're less calories but you'll get 11g-12g protein either way
  
• 180 calories | Pure Protein Chocolate Bars - best calorie/protein ratio. 21g of protein!
  
• 90 calories | Pacific Gold Beef Jerky - bought it on a whim at Costco, been good source of protein
  
• 60-280 calories | HALO TOP - needn't say much more
  
• 50 calories | Almonds - always nice when you're just dying and need something but are on the way to grocery shop for dinner
  
• 60 calories | Ghirardelli dark chocolate square - would usually have one as 'dessert' after lunch
  
• 25 calories | Marshmallow - usually curbs the late night snack craving if you pop one bad boy
  
• 50-70 calories | Fruit Roll Ups or fruit snacks - always loved them as a child so it's a nice throw back

I was curious, so here are the numbers:

• Protein shake x2 = $2.78
  
  
• Protein bar x2 = $4.16
  
  
• Fish oil x2 = $0.30
  
  All the other supplements are unnecessary IMO. I estimate ~$8 for the other foods listed per day, so that's a total of $15.24/day or $457.20/month.
  
  Not insanely expensive, but certainly not cheap.
