I am a reduced obese (lost 111 lbs), recovering binge eater, so my approach to Paleo is somewhat different. I find I need to eat every 3 hours or so, mentally, because if I get too hungry then I make bad choices.

I crossfit 3x a week and then usually one day a week of something else, 5k/bootcamp/kickboxing/whatever. I do my exercise first thing in the morning, so it's always fasted.

7/8am - Breakfast is 2 eggs + sausage or bacon in a variety of ways. Last week it was egg salad, the week before egg muffins, this week I was lazy, it will be hard boiled eggs.

10/11am - Snack of trail mix or fruit/veggie sometimes almond butter

12/1pm - Lunch of a meal item I made for the week. This week I either have carnitas w/paleo bbq sauce + roasted sweet potatoes or chicken thighs fried in coconut oil + butternut squash. Last week was paleo meatloaf muffins + fried zucchini sometimes I make a soup or stew for the week.

2pm - Snack of trail mix or fruit/veggie sometimes almond butter

5pm - If we are eating dinner early this is dinner, if we are eating dinner late this is a snack. Some weeks I make "Paleo" desserts and sometimes it's just 2 squares of dark chocolate.

8pm - Dinner or snack. Dinners are usually 6oz of meat + 1 cup of veggies and lots of butter or coconut oil

I've been lectured before on how un-Paleo this system is. I also have learned what works for my body. If I increase fat and/or calories for breakfast, I still need to eat at 10am, so then I overeat and gain weight. My hunger/satiety meter is broken. Maybe sometime it will be fixed. In the meantime, I go with what works for me.

Breakfast: Eggs (hard cooked or in an omelette) or spaghetti squash w/butter and leftover meat. Sometimes leftovers. Berries or melon.

Lunch: Sometimes a BAS (big axxed salad) or other leftover meat/veggie combos. I'm not a big fan of salads so it's hard to force myself to eat all that lettuce sometimes. Plus, since I found out all the commercial salad dressings are full of nasty seed oils, I have even less incentive to eat them. I'm going to try to make my own mayo soon so I can make my own ranch too. But I don't have a lot of free time, so I don't know if I can do that on a regular basis. (I also hate "oil and vinegar" dressings) Maybe a plum or a peach.

Dinner: Meat/fish/veggies. Sounds boring, but the all the fat (yay fat!) makes them so wonderful and I'm trying to branch out on my cooking techniques.

What's nice is that I don't seem to need in between meal snacks anymore.

Fitness: Body weight exercises from the You Are Your Own Gym book 4 x week for 30 mins. Moderately brisk 30-60 minute walks three times a week. I try to fit a sprint session on the elliptical machine in once a week, but I don't always have time/energy.

In the evenings I'll have Earl Grey tea with cream and cinnamon if I need a few more calories or if I need a bedtime comfort.

I feel more satisfied and nourished BY FAR than I ever have in my 45 years on this crazy planet. I'm feeling like Human 2.0

I've been eating this way for 4+ years. It's been eggs, meat, fat and veggies as the mainstay, and other additions varying as my "research" progresses and home circumstances change. During that time my two kids graduated from high school and left for college, so that simplified food routines greatly. And at the moment my spouse is deployed, so my food routines have become quite simple. A few weeks ago I started an 8/16 IF routine, which I really like because I only have to prepare food twice a day! One meal is almost always 2 eggs, usually scrambled to better soak up lots of coconut oil, butter, or lard. With that I will have some vegetables cooked in fat and or some bacon, or sometimes cheese. The second meal is meat and vegetables. I have a quarter cow in the freezer, so I eat a lot of beef. I particularly like to cook up the hamburger meat (it's really tasty), and just add the vegetables and maybe some extra fat right in. I don't want to lose weight, so I occasionally plug what I'm eating into fitday, and I tend to average about 2500 calories. Try to eat fish twice a week but don't always make it. Never been a big fruit eater, but I might have 3 servings a week. Heavy cream in morning coffee. A bit of 85-90 percent chocolate almost daily. On and off on nuts. Mostly off. They just don't make me feel good. My exercise routines have varied over the years. Used to be a runner, but my partner, an 11 year old German Shepard, makes it clear he prefers to walk these days, so that's what we do. At least four miles a day, sometimes up to eight on weekends. Strength train 3x a week for about an hour. Used to go to the gym a lot, but right now I'm into body weight exercises. Love my new portable pull up bar! Been doing the once a week sprint thing, when its not icy outside. Also love to golf, and I walk a hilly course carrying my bag, which contrary to popular opinion is excellent exercise.

I've been doing three meals lately:

Breakfast is coffee with heavy cream, 3-4 eggs, a cup or so of berries with lots of heavy cream.

Lunch (packed and eaten at work usually) is a green salad with lots of protein on top (fish or meat, cheese, hardboiled egg) and EVOO dressing, or leftovers from dinner the night before.

dinner is always starch (white potato is my fave), meat or fish, and 1 or 2 veg. There are thousands of delicious recipes to accomplish this with, but if my BF isn't eating with me (he likes sauces and tons of flavor) I usually keep it quick and very simple; flesh and veg sauteed in a pan with extra fat, and potatoes boiled and mashed with tons of butter and cream.

I need to eat a lot of calories, obviously. And do. :)

I Crossfit 5-6 days a week and add running. I eat when I'm hungry. I usually don't eat in the am, workout and then after working out eat bacon and eggs or sausage and eggs. Later in the day is usually a protein, sometimes I'll make soup...and that's about it. I've recently started adding more coconut oil, just eating it. I'm rarely hungry, have a lot of energy and have gotten a lot stronger and had better stamina since starting Paleo.

Breakfast: sometimes nothing, sometimes poached eggs.

Usually mackerel and steamed veg (spinach, brocolli, common) for lunch after a workout.

Dinner usually a steak, beef burger, game or liver, with some more veg - or some kind of stew, buffalo popular with me.

Sometimes for a snack, a banana (1 piece of fruit a day limit) with cream or yoghurt or coconut. Or something involving rich cheese like goats cheese or feta. Usually towards the end of the day.

Only drink green tea as caffeine source, with full cream, no milk.

Workout twice a day (medium intensity, some martial arts), just before dinner and lunch.

I'm pretty simple.

Breakfast is either eggs cooked in copious amounts of coconut oil and/or butter, a can of sardines, leftover meat from last night's dinner, or a nice glass of coconut milk. Usually with veggies or fruit. Basically, delicious breakfasts of fattiness.

For lunch, I usually go the Mark Sisson route and have a big-ass salad of whatever I have in my fridge.

I'll usually have a snack of macadamia nuts, dark chocolate, berries, cheese, puffed rice (I've actually been doing the puffed rice thing for a while). Any combination of those tasty snacks.

Dinner is pretty much always a massive hunk of meat. Mmm. With veggies, and usually a sweet potato.

Sprints once a week, pushups/pullups/planks twice a week, and much much walking throughout the week. Probably gonna throw in some heavy lifting eventually. I consider myself a "hardgainer", so I tend to hover around 100-150g carbs a day, from bananas, berries, sweet potatoes, white rice, etc.

I workout 3 days a week. I do about 20 minutes of yoga first and then heavy lifting (deadlifts, squats, overhead press...) 2 days, and the 3rd day i do some lighter stuff like push ups, pull ups, burpees... I also hike and ride mountain bike at least once a week. Breakfast after a heavy lifting workout around 10am: egg omelette cooked in bacon fat or ghee with beet greens and onions inside. sometimes i also add some deer sausage to the mix. and some steamed broccoli or sweet potato. Lunch: big salad with fish (sardines, salmon or tuna) or left over chicken or steak and maybe a few nuts. Dinner: usually deer meat (ground burger or steak) or turkey, some veggies (usually steamed) covered in ghee and a handfull of berries.

I work out 4 or 5 days a week- I do some crossfit-esque stuff, (but am working on the intensity part) sometimes yoga (Bikram is my fave style, but their nearest studios are 1.5 hrs away), sometimes I'll jog a mile or 2 or do intervals.

I typically eat a two-egg omelette (with a little cheese and spinach or arugula)with a few pieces of bacon for breakfast, and a coffee with grassfed heavy cream, a packet of truvia, and some cinnamon. Lunch is usually leftover dinner. I have an afternoon snack a couple times a week- some apple slices with a little almond butter, a larabar, or some macadamias. Dinner is meat and veggies (often chicken thighs, grassfed steak, or bison burger, a lot of roasted broccoli florets, brussels sprouts, etc.) and sometimes some roasted sweet potatoes or sauteed purple potatoes. I usually avoid desserts, but I've been experimenting with homemade ice creams, and the results have been delicious! :)

I make an all week breakfast. It's a scramble, I cook some veggies, recently it's been broccoli/cauliflower/onions, throw in 1.5lbs of ground turkey/chicken/pork/beef, let it brown, add spinach, let it cook down, and then toss in 4-5 eggs. I can nuke a bit of that every morning, lasts 5 days. For lunch I almost always eat the previous evenings leftovers.

In between meals if I'm hungry, I'll have some fruit, but my main meals are meat and veggies. I exercise between 5-7 days a week, and initially this diet was a drain on my energy since I was shifting from carb/sugar to fat for energy. I feel, that for myself, this is the easiest way to do things. I sometimes make a meal for 4 so that it'll last me a few days, since cooking every day twice a day would get a little cumbersome. Only issue is that I have to make sure I think ahead to make breakfast Sunday night, and that I have to make sure I make enough food for at least dinner and lunch.

I olympic lift 5 days a week and use kettlebells and run sprints 3 times a week. Use ice based technologies to activate UCP1 4 times a week. I eat three meals a day all paleo and only eat organic and grass fed. Most fish is seabass and chilean and seafood wild from gulf. I eat a ton of buffalo and avg about 8 oz of red wine a week. Body fat is below ten percent. I do occassional IF about twice a month.

My diet/hunger/exercise fluctuates quite a bit with the seasons, but as it is now (winter):

I dance 3 times a week and have class/rehearsal (both very active) from 9-2/230-630 (respectively), 6 days a week. I usually skip breakfast, and drink lots of tea, sometimes kombucha, until 2pm. Then, between 2 and 8 I'll either eat one big meal, or two medium meals, primarily made of meat- gf beef, deer, salmon, liver, mackerel etc, with lots of coconut oil, some vinegar, spices, etc. Sometimes I'll add some greens in. I also drink a lot of seltzer.

If I eat anything else during the day (nuts, chocolate, eggs), it's generally out of emotional comfort and not hunger... But I allow these things occasionally and try to make good choices.

During the Summer I'm not in class, but I run, and generally eat smaller portions.

I like to keep it simple during the week and spice it up on the weekends. 2 meals a day. Lunch and dinner. Lunch at 2PM, Dinner at 9PM. Lunch salad with low carb/starch veggies - cucumber, zucchini, broccoli, spinach, kale, radishes, cabbage, avocado with protein and fat - homemade grass fed butter burger, coconut oil pan fried chicken, lard sauteed salmon, or any combo.

Dinner: scrambled eggs w/mushrooms, butter, bacon, sausage, beef, lamb. Or just saute meat and veggies.

Keep a cupboard stocked with spices, buy different herbs, mix and match, experiment and keep it simple so I don't spend hours in the kitchen.

Try to keep my meats primarily ruminant based, not too much pig and focus on grass fed and wild, rather than farm raised fish.

Desert I love, frozen berries mixed with good ol'cream -mmmmm

Breakfast 4 times week (3 times fasted into workout) - 4 pieces bacon, 3 eggs scrambled in bacon fat.

Lunch - Big Ass Salad, Mark Sisson style.

Dinner - Large piece of meat, loads of roasted veggies.

Night time - little dark chocolate, maybe some almond butter before bed.
Natural Calm.
6000 IU VitD, Fish Oil, Vit C.

Other snacks: jerky, BCAA with coconut water before workouts.

I love food, and my meals tend to highlight the flavors of the season. A common winter day involves:

Breakfast Hash: Kale (at least 2cups) chopped and sauteed with meat (sausage, leftover steak, whatever's on hand) once the kale has changed color, I clear out a spot in the pan for an egg. Finely diced sweet potato is a tasty addition. The kale gets chopped early in the week, and diced, raw, sweet potato stores well in the freezer, so I just throw everything in the pan while I wait for my coffee.

Lunch Green curry: highly adaptable, simply sautee a mixture of vegetables, your choice of meat, then mix in a big spoonful of green curry paste, and a can of coconut milk. When you can find them, it's excellent with a stalk of lemongrass, kefir lime leaves, or curry leaves.

Dinner: Paleohack Chili, spinach with anything, Broccoli Beef, Salsa Verde with pork loin from a pig we raised, big salad, chicken curry salad, there's just so much! Chard enchiladas, sweet potato shepards pie.

Snack: Evil, but long lasting energy boost from dried figs dredged through almond butter.

I do slip up, on days when I forgot my lunch, and a gluten free, dairy free cupcake (with delicious frosting!) is .75 cents.....

Lots of heavy lifting at my job, with deep water aerobics, 4 mile dog hikes, dance party :)
