If you guys aren't eating cottage cheese before bed, you should start. It is, hands down, the best food to have before sleeping - it takes about 6 hours to digest. |
You just eat the cottage cheese on it's own? |

This. I don't want to go out for dinner and not eat because I'm on some bull diet that the menu doesn't accommodate. |

You can always open an exception - I've become a much more disciplined person since I started working out, but that doesn't mean you need to become a slave and ignore the life around you. |

| Oh, I eat lots of fish, too. Tilapia, haddock, halibut. I'll do shrimp skewers or salads for dinner a lot. And I always buy turkey mince instead of beef for when I make meatballs and stuff. |

| Also, I don't think of "diet" as something that is limiting or restrictive. It's more about healthy choices and the right portions, and not starving oneself. |

It looks hard, but it is a hell of a lot easier than going ad-hoc, trust me. |
I simply don't care enough. Buying and eating food based on nutritional information, building a meal schedule your whole day must revolve around, preparing and eating six different meals for the sake of your metabolism... At that point you're becoming a workout geek.
Even when I'm working fixed hours my day has no more schedule than "get into work on time". I eat meals when I can be bothered and work out when I have an hour free. I have never been an organised person and I enjoy the freedom. Food is not a big part of my life: I don't enjoy it very much, I don't like spending time cooking it or cleaning after it. My only real concession towards working out is ensuring I get a protein shake inside me within 30 minutes of a workout. |

pie speaks the truth. i don't feel my diet is restrictive i just won't eat some things because a) i don't like how they make me feel (ie greasy food) and b) i don't like them. it shouldn't be a constant struggle by any means.
for me:
breakfast:
plain oatmeal
hot cereal
yogurt with fruit and granola
lunch
meat (chicken, ground turkey, beef)
vegetables
carb (couscous or rice usually although sometimes pasta but heavy on the other two)
dinner
soup + veggies + half a slice of pita bread
meat + veggie
although lately i get home so late i don't eat a proper dinner, i snack on random stuff (popcorn, carrots, almonds, baked sweet potato, etc) and drink my green tea. i don't eat much at night. what's really throwing me off are all these blasted sweets in the office. |

+1
Eating the same thing every day would actually kill me. |
