Is it okay to eat the same thing everyday?

There are a couple reasons to switch your food up a bit. I think the most important is to not get bored with your choices. That's a personal decision- some people can eat the same thing over and over and be fine. If you're one of them, this reason doesn't apply.

The second is to "shock' your body. Some people have their weight loss stall if they eat the same thing day after day. It's as if their body gets so used to the same foods, it burns them more efficiently (or something). This also doesn't seem to be universal. So, if your weight loss stalls, try switching your food up and see if it helps.

As long as you're getting the proper nutrition I don't see a problem (5 fruits and veggies a day, 2 sources of calcium ect)

do whatever works for you and "Do It Your Way in 2012"! Cause "your way" is the only way that will work for you long term

I eat the same things for about a week or so before a switch things up. It makes it easy to prepare and keep stocked. :-) I've lost a lot of weight (over 100 lbs.) so I think it works okay.

As long as school is in session (I am a teacher), I am eating the same breakfast and lunch and it does keep me stable on calories.

I eat in cycles of the same stuff for breakfast and lunch. One week I'll buy lunch meat and bring a sandwich everyday until that is gone then I will switch to something else like salad until that is gone. For B-fast I will eat cereal until it is gone then maybe toast or eggs. I find it easier to log and I don't end up going out to eat when I stay repetitive.
