I have unintentionally become pescatarian recently because I've come to realize that fish have a lot of nutritional value. So far, my meal plan looks like this:

Breakfast

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 slice of Ezekial bread toasted
  • Mixed berry smoothie with banana, peanut powder, collagen peptides, chia, creatine, non-fat greek yogurt, and water

Lunch

  • 2 tin cans of sardines, mashed
  • Non-fat greek yogurt
  • Tzaziki sauce
  • Lemon
  • Black pepper
  • 2 slices of Ezekial bread toast or one ezekial tortilla, depending on my mood

Dinner

  • Shrimp kebabs made with olive oil and veggies
  • 1 corn roll or asparagus

Some days I'll switch out my dinner for a salmon salad / salmon wrap, or I'll change the shrimp kebabs for a shrimp ceasar wrap with a nice avocado oil based dressing. Being pescatarian is really great because it's easier to make, shelf life lasts very long, and it's generally cheaper than buying meats.

I have a weird diet that works well for me.

I don't like fish. So it's chicken thighs for me. I get the organic ones to avoid antibiotics. I take omega-3 supplements. Sardines are supposed to be very good for us, but I just can't do it.

Breakfast: some baby carrots, and a handful of roasted cashews, plus coffee.

Main meal at lunchtime: spinach, brussel sprouts, broccoli, tomato, and onion heated up in the microwave, while the chicken pan-fries in olive oil. Topped with a simple Parmesan cheese sauce. Plus an apple.

Evening meal: frozen blueberries with a bit of instant coffee, cinnamon, sugar, and milk. A square of 85% dark chocolate.

I snack on nuts and drink decaf coffee throughout the day.

This has been my routine for over three years now. This is everything I eat, I don't go out. The meals have varied only slightly over the years. For instance, I'm currently experimenting with replacing the chicken with lentils once or twice a week, to save some money and get a bit more fiber and reduce the calories, but it might be too much fiber.
