Another cornflower, I am a huge fan of the whole food/ plant based diet. Anyone else follow it? I've really fallen off the bandwagon so to speak and have been eating tons of sugar and junk. Need to get back into it.
OP I dont think your menu sounds bad. When did you start? It takes a while to get rid of toxic hunger and you may not be truly hungry when you feel like you need a snack.

I'm also on Weight Watchers. I've lost almost 40 pounds in 4.5 months! I'm nursing, so I get a lot of points. Today was a pretty typical day, looked like this:
Breakfast: Cheerios, banana, skim milk, coffee (5 points)
Snack: light Greek yogurt with pomegranate seeds (2 points)
Lunch: slice of whole-grain bread with 1/2 Tbsp cream cheese and 2 eggs (5 points)
Snack: homemade banana chocolate chip muffin, decaf coffee (4 points)
Dinner: homemade pizza (high point alert! 15 points)
Snack: apple with 2 tsp peanut butter, 100-calorie popcorn (5 points)
I still have 4 points left, I'll probably have a square or two of chocolate and then save the last point or two for Shabbos.
ETA: the WW app was a game-changer for me. I've never been able to diet for long (never really had to, to be honest) and it's so easy to track and to stay accountable.

I appreciate reading what people eat in a day -
I'm still working on what works for me, want to lose a little weight but have a hearty appetite...
Someone wrote about kosher Quest bars. Just fyi, that Costco sells a comparable one, also O-U-D if I remember correctly, Kirkland Signature it's the best price I've found.
A typical day most recently:
Green tea with non dairy milk
1/2 protein bar
Herbal tea with lemon, some banana
Tea with non-dairy milk
Egg & egg white with mustard, a few walnut halves
Sweet potato & a few walnut halves, beets, decaf coffee
8 almonds, half a protein bar, decaf coffee
Chicken soup, chicken, brown rice with olive oil, cooked vegetables
Herbal tea with non-dairy milk, small amount of dried fruit

Is this a starvation diet??
A tea diet?
How do you function on so little food during the day?
Who suggested that you eat like this?

Eat meat, protein and fat. minimize your carbs. I used to not be able to stop eating all day long. Its a chemical reaction. Your insulin goes up and down all day, making you hungry, compelling you to eat. Its just chemistry. it'll be uncomfortable for a day or two, tops. I am not saying to starve yourself. quit the carbs, get the benefit of ketosis and its appetite suppression effect. then worrry about losing weight. trust me.

Nope
Not all nutritionists or dietitians say this.
Depends on the individual (practitioner and more importantly, patient)

It's so individual, different body types, energy patterns, it's endless.
I like reading what works for others, getting new ideas. Ie, I forgot about spaghetti squash, someone just posted that as part of their food.
Here's what I hope to have tomorrow:
Green tea & milk
Ginger tea & lemon
Half protein bar, .5 Banana, Tea with milk
Salad, vegetables, 1 egg, 3oz-ish tuna, olive oil, balsamic vinegar
Decaf coffee
Orange, 5-10g dark chocolate
Maybe half protein bar if hungry, or small can of V8
Gibela Spinach knish, 3-4oz skinless chicken
Chicken soup, .5 cup broccoli olive oil
Herbal tea with milk (if I workout, might add a banana b4 bed for a little more fuel)
