I have my favorite snacks... But I have not been able to buy in bulk. I head to the 7-11 around the corner. While it does have a limited selection of healthy stuff, it does get me out of the office for a bit.0

bf -1 wgb toast with scrambled eggs
lunch- 2 wgb slices with what ever i want

ps.my blood sugar level was ok too.0 -
I always look foward to eating home-made taco salads without the tortilla chips everyday0

Years ago, I lost 60 pounds in four months eating the same thing every day. Peanut butter toast w/ OJ for breakfast and bedtime snack and a Lean Cuisine w/ bread & margarine for dinner. I would die of boredom now...and/or starvation.0

I do. Combos:
Meal 1: eggs and whites and turkey. Oats, grits, toast, poptarts, whey
Meal 2: Chicken breast, tortillas, cheese, bread, burgers, tilapia, sandwhich
Meal 3: More chicken, ground turkey any other lean cut of meat and veggies
Meal 4: ice cream or cakes
I eat these foods everyday, chicken almost exclusively every single day0 -
It's bascally the SAFE bet you know what is "good" for you to stay under those cals and so you stick to it! :blushing:0

AHH that's what I like a man who has his oats in the mornings!0 -
I can be a bit repetitive with what I eat. There are certainly some staples in my diet that I opt for over and over again.
Breakfast regulars:
Porridge
At the moment I'm going through a phase of Pop Tarts which I'm hoping I will get bored of soon and opt for something perhaps more nutritious! : )
Lunch:
Tuna Salad... all year round I can happily eat this. I think it's because it's so filling and satisfying.
In the winter I will quite often mix it up and have homemade vegetable soup (for days on end)
Dinner:
Chicken Kebab (grilled of course) with loads of salad.
If I eat out there are staples too but I think these are more things that I know are 'fairly safe' in terms of calories on the menu and I can have a good go at guestimating them:
Mushroom Omelettes (if out for breakfast or 'brunch')
Soups again
Legarra Pizza from Pizza Express - they have a goat's cheese and chutney one which is heaven...0 -
I gotta have my omlete every morning. I never get tired of it. Most of my meals are the same. It saves money.0

I literally eat the same foods everyday, and I like it that way. I am celiac, vegetarian and I don't consume milk dairy either, so my choices can be somewhat limited. But I get to eat foods I love everyday, feel healthy AND lose weight, so it's a win win! I have staples that I work around and can sometimes mix things up a little if I feel like a change.
It makes shopping easier too :happy:0 -
My foods vary very little from day to day too. My main reason for doing so is that it's much easier for me to avoid temptation if I've already planned what I'm having to eat, and if I know exactly how it fits into my macros. I have my 'go to' foods that I prepare and log in advance, and the only meal I tend to vary a little is dinner, since that's the meal that I share with my hubby. Breakfast and lunch are solo meals for me, so I don't feel the need or inclination to mix things up - the most I'll change is the protein source (even then I tend to cycle through canned tuna, humous or cannellini beans, with chicken, chorizo or cheese as infrequent exotic additions).
Life is simpler, easier, cheaper, less stressful and less tempting this way!0 -
Honestly I don't like to eat the same food everyday but I've noticed that I've always eat the same food at least every few days, so eventually you learn the caloric value of all your repeated food.0

i eat pretty much the same thing for breakfast, lunch and snacks every day ....dinner is always different.
works well for me.

It's actually been proven that eating the same foods everyday can be helpful to weight loss because it takes away the temptation to over eat when offered lots of choices. That said you have to make those repetitive foods good nutritional choices in order to get the nutrients you need.
This has always been true for me. Too much variety causes me to overeat. I love food and I don't want to miss out on anything.
For hundreds of years, before travel was common, people ate the same basic foods all their lives and were healthy.
This !!0 -
I cook a large casserole dish of dinners like tuna pasta bake with heaps of veg that keeps me going for almost a week then I have a lentil dish with spinach, chicken and mushrooms in so that also does me a week.
So yes I basically eat the same thing for a few days before change.
Lunch is always a cup of soup which I enjoy different flavours each time. I dont get bored with what I eat and I am finding I am losing weight0 -
I am a bodybuilder wanna be; working in that direction. I eat the same foods every day; easier to shop if nothing else. I am new to Fitness Pal. Is there way all the foods for one day can be selected for the next day without going through the process of building the meals?0

I have a collection of foods that I rotate within my diet. It does help having things onhand that you know fit your goals.0

I think you have to do each meal separately but you can click on tools and then "copy" and then you'll choose a date to copy it to.
I do think there's benefit to getting a variety of foods though. Especially when it comes to veggies.0 -
Thank you for your reply. My veggies consist of Spinach, Broccoli, and Kale. I am not sure if that is enough variety or not.
I find the app and the web page rather frustrating to use; but I am new to it, so no doubt it takes some spool-up time. I just scanned several bar codes and they don't show up, so it seems I have more to learn.0
