just curious.. because i eat the same things, day in, day out. some days, i'll change a small thing or two.. but for the most part, its the exact same! i just love to eat this way.. i have my macro's all figured out, and i know pretty much exactly how much my groceries will cost when i shop, which is always a bonus!

anyone else do this? ^_^

    I eat a lot of the same stuff. Dinner is the main thing that changes.

    Yeah dinner is the only thing that changes, but from breakfast and in between its usually the same thing. I really dont mind it though, food tastes good and I have maybe gotten sick of it once or twice. I just add different seasonings :)!

    I often do on work days for breakfast and lunch. However supper is always different and the weekends are generally different. I think it is important for our bodies to switch it up and give some variety but the convience on the work days is had to pass on.

    I'll eat the same things on a regular basis, like an Oven Roasted chicken sandwich from Subway with the same stuff on it.
    Also, my wife will prepare the same recipes that we eat most weeks. I also like the repeatability of eating the same thing and knowing the outcome. I just like the routine of knowing what I'm going to eat - my wife doesn't like it that much : )

    For the week or 10 days - something like that - my meals will be pretty much the same from day to day.
    Then we grocery shop again and buy different things. I like variety.

    I'm pretty consistent with my food. Mostly salads as the base and filler. Different proteins on different days, read as, depending on how lazy I am.

    I am the same way most weeks (not the last 2 weeks). I work full time, go to school full time, plus have a 17 month old son, husband and dogs so in order for everything to function, it is easier for me to plan this way!! Works for our family :)

    I would go crazy if I ate the same thing all the time. I am always looking for new recipes.

    I eat oatmeal, skim milk, and apple every morning for breakfast. It has brought my cholesterol down, and I like it. Plus, I hate breakfast. I can cook up a bunch of oatmeal and not have to prepare it every day. What do you eat?

    Pretty much the same thing breakfast and lunch. I'll eat the same thing for a week or two then get sick of it and switch it up. Dinner is always changing though... it's my big meal for the day and I adore it :)

    I do similar breakfast/lunch/snacks and then the dinner is varied since I also cook for my husband and son. I just watch portion size at dinner to make sure I'm not screwing up what good I did the rest of the day!

    Breakfast and lunch are pretty much the same, dinner changes and my snacks are often the same but do vary depending on the workout I have planned for the day.

    I make meals based on 2-6 servings then will eat that same meal 2-6x sometimes the same food 2-3x in one day...some things just don't freeze or keep well. I don't mind though, I get enough variety in my meals long term.

    I'm the exact way. I go food shopping once a week and I spent about $75. On food every week.
    I kno what I'm getting this way it won't take me more than an hour in the market.
    I'm always buying fresh foods. And I make baked chicken almost every day if not I switch it a Lil and I make fish fillers.
    It's the same with my lunch but I will have tea everyday and tuna with tomatoes or sardines on a flat whole wheat bread.

    I'm usually like that with my breakfast - oatmeal & peanut butter, fruit, coffee (some mornings black, some mornings as a cappucino). Other meals, not so much.

    Add me to the list. breakfast is eggs and oatmeal. lunch is mcdonalds. dinner switches up, but only among the same 4-5 foods. totally fine with this. like the OP, this makes it hella easy to grocery shop

    Aside from this past week (Thank you Sandy!) I eat pretty much the same foods.

    Breakfast is a protein shake, I may mix up what fruits go in.

    Lunch is usually either: A) two orders of grilled nuggets from Chick Fil A with ranch and buffalo sauce, or a Chipotle bowl with pinto beans, steak, cheese, fajita veggies and light sour cream and hot sauce. I may "mix up" the order and get chicken instead.

    Snacks are generally a slice of salami with cheese.

    Dinner... it does vary!

    (If you haven't noticed, I don't eat much carbs...)

    My breakfast and lunch are almost always the same, dinner is a variety of things predominantly chicken based. Every once in a while I get a steak in or sausage. The really good days are the ones that end with dessert, nothing like a good 1/2 cup of ice cream, yum.

    I eat the same thing during the work week and only change up dinners a small amount. Weekends are where the changes take place. I always spend one day on the weekend cooking and prepping for the work week:drinker:
