Since you asked for it, here are some suggestions:

Breakfast:

Quick-cook oatmeal (or instant if you must) with berries and/or nuts
A glass of milk
Plus a piece of fruit if you're still hungry, e.g. banana

Lunch:

Turkey sandwich on 12-grain bread with spinach, avocado slices, and tomato
Raw broccoli and red bell pepper on the side
Green tea (or black coffee if you must)

Dinner:

3 or 4 oz top sirloin steak (grilled, broiled, or simmered) --or a chicken breast (season each with herbs and/or non-fat liquids, rather than use fatty toppings)
1/2 or 1 sweet potato (baked, boiled, or nuked) with tzatziki or other yogurt topping
Steamed vegetables of your choice (eat lots)--drizzle with vegetable fat and balsamic vinegar if a sprinkling of herbs isn't enough for you.
Green tea (don't drink coffee past 4 p.m.)

Snacks:

Roasted soy nuts (whole soy beans, no salt)
Unsalted almonds (roasted or raw)
Unsalted cashews (roasted or raw)
Natural granola cereal with either low fat yogurt or unsweetened soy or almond milk
Fresh fruit (dried fruit if you must)--use what's in season preferably; but eat a variety regardless: e.g. apples, oranges, cherries, kiwi, banana, etc.
Fresh cut veggies with hummus or natural nut/seed butter (use what's in season, but eat a variety regardless: e.g. broccoli, celery, carrots, red/green bell pepper, mushrooms, etc.)
Green tea (or black tea or black coffee if you must)
