Breakfast Choose from: • One cup of high-fibre breakfast cereal with low-fat milk and one piece of fruit; or • Two slices of bread or toast — preferably wholegrain, wholemeal or high fibre white — with thinly spread margarine, peanut butter, jam, Vegemite, baked beans, grilled tomato or sardines. • Water, tea, coffee or 100ml of fruit juice Light meal • Soup (preferably one with vegetables and legumes, not one that is cream-based) • One sandwich made with bread, one roll or six dry biscuits — preferably wholegrain or wholemeal — with thinly spread margarine or avocado • Lots of salad vegetables • 90g-120g of lean meat, skinless poultry or seafood; or two eggs; or • 40g of fat-reduced cheese; or • Half a cup of legumes (such as beans or lentils) • One piece of fruit • Water, tea or coffee Main meal • One cup of cooked rice or pasta or one medium potato • Lots of other vegetables • 90g-120g of lean meat, skinless poultry, seafood; or half a cup of legumes (such as beans or lentils) • One fruit or one small tub of yogurt • Water, tea or coffee Snacks Not everyone needs to include snacks between meals. If you do, select healthy choices such as fruit (fresh or canned in natural juice), low-fat yogurt, a glass of low-fat milk, wholegrain bread, fruit bread or high-fibre crackers

well i'll give you some tips on my somewhat limited dieting knowledge - most cereals (even the whole grain fibre ones) have alot of artificial preservatives and sugars, get to know them, and avoid them as much as you can -white bread is very bad for you as it is just simple carbs and has alot of sugar and preservatives -most peanut butter has alot of added sugar, get the all natural stuff that just has peanuts in it, you have to stir it but its worth it and it tastes better. -jam is also very bad for you, it's almost always filled with a ton of sugar or artificial sugars. -most cans of soup have msg and alot of sodium, not all do, but try and pick the healthier ones. -margarine is also bad. -tea is good for you, try to avoid coffee because of the caffeine. -and one more note, almost all yogurt is also filled with sugar and other preservatives too. just some suggestions

It is hard to say, in reality how much you way, what your daily calorie burning is, what are you attempting to do, (lose weight, gain weight, gain muscle, just eat healthier). For type two diabetes that is pretty specialized, one place that I found that is awesome is called "Sparkpeople" www.sparkpeople.com. They actually do entire monthly meal plans, with shopping lists and everything, and they cater to different subsets, meaning you put in all sorts of information (lifestyle, if you have diabetes, etc) and they pretty much spit out a complete plan for you. I would highly suggest checking it out, it is very customizable, my only gripe is many of the things require cooking, which if you are eating lunch at work isn't really doable unless you cook it ahead of time and nuke it. In general if it is healthier eating and less calories than your regular diet, you can't go wrong. But I am not an expert on how to manage for the diabetes.
