My diet runs more of a what can I add? If I see something I've never cooked with I buy it. Right now it is amaranth and black japonica rice.
My consumption of food on a daily basis is the same... how many food based products, herbs or spices can I add (without getting fat).
I try to watch it. If I had grains (I eat a lot of multi grain "oatmeal" style homemade cereals) or dairy (yogurt) I try to go heavier on protein and veggies for dinner, and lean towards fruits for dessert (or chocolate, chocolate, chocolate).
I just try to balance a lot of food groups and micro nutrients into a day.

2 Eggs cooked in olive oil spray with blackened seasoning (minus salt) and original tobasco sauce
1–1.5 cups of mixed fresh fruit (depends on what I have - blueberries, raspberries, cantaloupe, honeydew, pineapple, Apple, plum, watermelon, strawberries)
1/2 cup Chobani Greek Yogurt
Snack (10:00am)
Protein Shake - 1/2 scoop Vega One nutrition powder, 1.5 scoops pure whey protein powder, 1/2 scoop chocolate peanut butter powder (no salt added), 2 tablespoons organic unsweetened cocoa, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, 1/2 banana, 13 ice cubes
Lunch 1 (12:00 noon)
1/3 mixed salad - I combine 5 cups of veggies in a container and divide it into three servings for the day. The 5 veggies are: 1 cup arugula, 1 cup tomato, 1 cup cucumbers, 1 cup carrots, 1 cup mixed of broccoli, radish, pepper and red onion.
Homemade salad dressing - extra virgin olive oil, ground pepper, Dijon mustard, crushed garlic, lemon juice and white wine vinegar.
1/3 cup hummus (Trader Joes Mediterranean style or Sabra)
1/2 sweet potato: sliced thin and microwaved for 4:15, then put in a toaster oven, coated with extra virgin oil spray and topped with cinnamon.
2 homemade wholewheat oat chocolate chip cookies (made with honey, maybe protein powder and walnuts) - my daily indulgence the recipe is here.
Lunch 2 (2:00pm)
1/3 salad
Same salad dressing
1/3 cup hummus
1 grilled chicken breast (no antibiotics and grass fed) with blackened spices
Snack (4:00pm)
Another protein shake, same as before
Dinner (6:00pm)
1/3 salad
Same salad dressing
1–1.5 cups fresh fruit
1/2 cup Chobani Greek yogurt
If if my wife wants to go out to dinner I plan my day accordingly. I cut out the carbs (sweet potato and cookies), cut the 6:00pm fruit and the chicken breast. I move my 6:00pm salad to 4:00pm. Then for dinner I order a protein and a carb of some kind.
Occasionally I replace my chicken breast with a can of tuna and split it into two servings - 1/2 with my salad at noon and 1/2 with my salad at 2:00.
At my peak I weighed 207 (5′10″). Adding more intense exercise got me down to 173. Changing to this diet, along with appetite suppressants got me down to 154 (and I workout less, only 22–45 minutes a day depending on my current program). I now fluctuate between 155–160 depending on whether or not I deviate from my menu.
I take mens health multivitamin supplement from GNC etc.

I would suggest to eat healthy food in order to make your body observe all the necessary nutrients and vitamins.
Firstly, I would drink 3-4 liters of water daily.
I would include fruits in my breakfast. And after 2 hours of breakfast, I'll have my lunch while including salads, curry and whole wheat bread.
Later again the same veggies and fruits for dinner.
Fruits I buy frozen small bowl maybe cup full of blueberries.
I eat a late lunch about 2pm big salad bowl with tuna, chicken, sometimes salmon salad.
Dinner eat light whatever we make just eat small portion example we made pot roast in the slow cooker. Small plate we put small potato I only eat one or two of those 1" red potato's rest is carrots onions some meats.
If I eat any noodles no more then 1/2 cup very small portion if I feel I have ate little too much I extend my workout at the gym which I mostly go every day 6-7 days a week.
Sometimes I will eat small bowl of fruits with some whip cream for desert no more then 2 times a month.
