Do you guys eat the same thing everyday?

jkdarby

I started out eating basically the same thing everyday. I realized that after 2 weeks, I was going to get sick of everything fast and I'm in this for the long haul. I started logging my food diary a day ahead. So, I figure out what I'm going to eat the next day, put it in my food diary and make sure that all the calories were below my goal. Then, the next day, I just stick to what I planned.

I had less chicken at first, but I wanted more. I just can't stop stuffing my face. My love for food is my biggest downfall. :explode:

A love of food is what got us all in the situation we are - so you are in the right place! We are just trying to learn to love OURSELVES more

Try this one - tends to work for me when I'm craving more than 1 serving of something: Tell yourself "Ok - I want more, and I can have more - in 30 mins." Because it takes 30 mins for the "full" signal to get from the stomach to the brain. So, in 30 mins if you are HONESTLY still hungry (and not just still savoring the taste) - have more. But to get the taste out of your mouth you should brush your teeth or chew gum. Quite often we just want more of that good flavor that's in our mouth, even though not truly hungry. You can do it!!!

I work shift work, and when I'm on day shift I do eat the same breakfast - peanut butter and honey on whole wheat.

My breakfast and lunch seems to be the same few things.
Breakfast - oatmeal or Greek yogurt
Lunch - wheat flour tortilla with either peanut butter or sunflower seed butter and strawberry preserves.

I HAVE to plan ahead or my meal plan just falls apart! On weekends, I make all my food for the next week. I weigh and measure out my breakfast greek yogurts into containers, bake a pan of chicken or turkey breasts for lunches, measure out my veggies for lunch, make up a big salad of mixed greens, peppers, tomatoes, etc., chop up fruit for dessert, and cut up carrots and celery for snacks. Also, I make something in the crock pot or stove top for dinners the next week. I'm a lousy cook, and I don't have a lot of time in the evenings, so this way I can just measure out whatever for dinner and add my veggies and I'm good to go. Same with lunches - in the morning, I just grab the next set of containers out of the fridge since it's pre-made and throw it in the cooler. Done. Saves me time and hassle, and allows me to stick to a healthy meal plan that fits in my calorie and nutrient goals for the week. Yeah, it's a hassle spending every Sunday morning doing this, but it's worth it for me. I found that when I didn't plan my meals and just grabbed whatever was quick and easy, I usually chose unhealthy processed junk that made me fat.

Oh, and if you're still hungry, eat more veggies! They fill you up for very few calories. I eat about 2-3 cups of veggies at lunch and dinner, and about 4-5 oz. of lean protein. Less meat, more green wins every time. Good luck!

Yes I do.I can eat fish anytime of the day.I feel satisfied and it gives me energy to make it thru the day.

Yeah, I eat the same thing for breakfast and lunch every day. The only meal that I vary is dinner and that's because I have a husband and a daughter to feed and neither of them has a weight problem. :-/ I could probably do better if I found something I liked and could have for dinner everynight, but I don't see that happening...

Ive noticed that if I dont plan ahead, I will eat over my calorie goal, so If i have to have boring meals, then I guess that is what it takes. I need self control with food because I love it so much. (the wrong stuff)

Goal 20 Lbs...

Well because im on my diet for a long time so usually i know how much calories it is if not im trying to check it before i eat

I pretty much eat the same stuff each day. I know what I like, what is good nutritionally and fits into my calorie/macronutrient targets. I am also single so I can just make up a massive batch at the start of the week and it last ages

I eat pretty much the same thing everyday. But I've found things I like that keep me full oatmeal is one beans is another good example. I love low fat cheese. So I make wraps. SO filling. I love the green chilli tortillas I found. I might use a different lean protien but pretty much the same everyday.

Weekends are another monster that I'm still trying to tame.
