Do you ever get stuck on eating one food over and over?

One of my very favorite combinations is cottage cheese and grapes, specifically red grapes. We just happen to have really good red grapes in my grocery store right now. Nice crunchy ones, the kind that *pop* when you bite into them. I know they won't last for long because usually the produce at this store isn't very good. And anyway, soon they'll become too expensive to buy.

So I've been eating cottage cheese and grapes for breakfast. Or for lunch. Or maybe both. And for a snack. Even for dinner one night when my husband had to work late. lol I've eaten it enough now that I can practically eyeball my portion in the bowl that I always use. I've weighed it so many times that I really do know what it looks like. lol. (I still weigh afterwards just to be sure, and I'm surprisingly very close.)

Anyway, if I don't turn into a bowl of cottage cheese and grapes I'll be surprised. :wink: At least it has some good calcium in it, which I have to be careful to get enough of since I don't drink milk much.

Anyone else do this -- eat the same thing over and over while it lasts?

    Well, I could eat breakfast (in my case: milk and oat, or corn flakes) for lunch and dinner, everyday. :)

    I do eat pretty much the same food everyday, anyway.

    Well yes but I usually get over it in a few days. I need variety. My last one was Greek yogurt with salted caramel protein powder.

    I dont know that I eat any one food for breakfast lunch dinner and snack, but I definately will eat the same food for a few weeks until I don't want to see it anymore. I guess for the main part I eat the same things everyday. I do try to switch it up. Right now I have air popped popcorn with cinnamon on it. Its so good. I am sure I wont want popcorn for a while soon.

    Yup, and for weight loss I don't think that's a bad thing when you find the right combination of nutrients and calories.

    My breakfast is usually the same thing, there is very little variation to it. I don't think it's bad. If you know what you like and it works for you, eat it! I don't know about grapes and cottage cheese though ...

    Hmm... didn't think of freezing them. How are they when they thaw? Will they lose their crunchiness?

    Of course, especially when fruit and certain veggies are in season. I tend to rotate between 2-3 breakfast and 2-3 lunches. Even dinner is grilled protrin, veggies, and sslad. I just vary the protein & veggies. And in winter, SOUP! Almost time for that.!! I do well with a routine & hubby is good about going along with it.

    Two of my 3 main meals rarely change. I'm really okay with that. It's by preference. I really, really like those things a lot.

    They are great frozen! I keep a bag in the freezer in general to munch on, I've let them thaw before and I thought they tasted the same as never frozen grapes, I can't remember if they were any less crisp though.

    I eat pretty much the same thing all the time, each week I might throw in a different dish to make a few times to mix it up but honestly it's just an absentminded rotation. I enjoy it and I don't feel bored in the least, I especially like not having to think about breakfast when all I want is to hurry to the gym lol :)

    I have been lately. 2 servings of frozen veggies, tsp of olive oil and ground turkey/beef/chicken. It's easier now that I'm in school. Not the tastiest food, but definitely meets my needs.

    I eat every night a big bowl of frozen fruits
    Also grapes

    Its great, like candies or little ice creams Specially cantaloupes
    I do this with 80% of all my fruits

    The only "ugly" fruit is banana and avocado...but i dont thaw those either i make smoothies with them. But all the too much fruits get frozen here.
    So i buy lots and lots of fruit specially when it is cheap and i freeze it all :) And eat it frozen through my yogurts and in the evening like i said as candies.

    I like it frozen and when you do it frozen through your yogurt/cottage cheese, it will freeze up around the fruit pieces and give them a bit of a yogurt layer lol
    i love that.

    to each their own of course but for me it works great.
