I work out in the am so I tend to do a Protein shake. I make a really large 20 ounce drink. I have half pre work out and half post work out. I find the extra Protein fuels my work outs better and I lose more as a result. I was doing Protein shakes before I did WLS surgery. They almost all have Fage 0% greek yogurt and unsweetened almond milk as a base. I think add any combo of a variety of things: avocado, apples, pears, pineapple, spinach, flax powder, tumeric, nutmeg, berries, peaches, cherries, oranges, cocao powder, almond butter, cashew butter, baked sweet potato. I just play around and make up my own combinations. This gives me on avg. between 30 and 40gms of protein a day.

On non gym days: I like grits with a bit of sauteed onions/peppers/mushrooms, oatmeal with dried cranberries or white raisins (I buy plain rolled oats and cook my own from scratch), soft scrambled eggs that I mix in a tsp of greek yogurt and top with a bit of shredded cheese, lettuce wrap with smoked tempeh, Tomato and a avocado, I do an overnight parfait that I layer yogurt, oatmeal and fruit cooked with a little brown sugar. The oats absorb the liquids over night. It's a great on the go breakfast.

As a rare treat I may go to my favorite diner and get a vegetable omelet with cheese and home fries with peppers and onions. This use to be my post gym meal pre surgery. I've done it once since surgery . It took me 3 days to eat the omelet and I picked off the homefries for 5 days and eventually threw out the rest.

I do the usual egg whites with turkey sausage cheese and 1/4 an avocado. I also like to mix it all and bake it in a muffin Pan that way they are portable individual servings and you can add whatever you want.

Around 6 weeks. I stir mine and make them really creamy. If I may also add a bit of either unflavored Protein powder to it or a bit of greek yogurt towards the end of cooking (I don't use the instant kind). It makes them nice an creamy.
