    Yep, pretty much the same everything, everyday. Maybe I'll change condiments or such, but that's about it. I really enjoy what I'm eating so it's pretty awesome. The only time something will change is if I'm going out to eat.

    I don't eat the same menu every day, but I eat the same 2-3 breakfasts, 3-4 lunches and snacks every week. My dinners change the most often.

    With that being said, I would be perfectly fine having my omelete for breakfast every day and my eggwhite salad with homemade pita chips for lunch every day ... but I don't do so because I figure my friends will make fun of me, lol.

    Only for Breakfast, really. It varies week to week as I plan out what I'm cooking and what I'm using for leftovers.

    3 days of cooking sits for a weeks' worth of meals. So I tend to eat those often, so the same thing, over and over, till I run out, then I plan the next week.

    On breakfasts though, since I'm outta the house, its always the same: A quick boost of a helping of Carnation's Breakfast essetials, one extra serving of skim milk, and a Fiber One - Chocolate and Oats bar.

    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.

    This!

    I'm the same as a lot of the responses on here. Breakfast and lunch are normally the same, dinner is different day to day. Mostly because I have to eat what my mother prepares for dinner! But breakfast and lunch I get to control at school. I think it's easier this way to keep track of nutrients consumed.

    Pretty much. When I log my intake, I can always "copy from yesterday" and make tiny tweaks - if I change the amount. I find routine comforting- I seek changes elsewhere =)

    I do. The more I have to think about food the more likely I am to eat inappropriate things.

    I have pretty much the same breakfast day after day because it fits my needs and I *adore* it. Lunch and dinner vary quite a bit though.

    Breakfast most days during the summer is Kashi go lean and 1/2 a banana with skim milk. During the winter I often put steel cut oats in the crock pot over night with some dried fruit (that gets switched up). Occasionally I'll have eggs or pancakes.

    Lunch varies. Sometimes we make a bunch of something to have all week but most weeks it's left overs from dinner.

    Dinner is different everyday unless we have something happening that makes it easiest to have leftovers the next night.

    Snacks vary, especially since we've gotten through the apples we picked.

    Dessert is milk and a Kashi cookie most nights.

    I eat the same breakfast everyday. A bowl of Cheerios and a cup of tea. I like my sleep more than I like eggs and such, so I keep it simple and consistent.

    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 do, I'm a creature of habit.

    I guess i'm one of the few that don't eat the same thing everyday...but then again i'm a house wife so I have time to log as I go and make something for each meal.

    Same here. I have my macros figured out and I like not having to figure out something new all the time. Every meal is not always the same, but I have a short list of foods that I eat on a daily basis.

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

    my grocery list is almost exact each week. I look at it this way, I eat healthy, get lots of low calorie dense foods and during my weight loss phase I want to keep it simple. Once I get to goal, I will tweak my diet and add some foods that I am not currently eating. But yes, I don't mind at all that my diet is almost identical day in and day out. It's what works for me.

    Sometimes it's the same, other times it's different. Last week, I had a lot of potatoes cause 5 lb bags were on sale buy one get one free :laugh: this week, it's tuna for lunch cause it was on sale. If anything changes alot, it's dinner

    We might have the same genre of foods in the week, but mostly I mix it up a lot!

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

    The same here. I need to change things around and keep meals within my macros. I can't feed my husband always the same thing. Too boring!

    The majority of my breakfast's are iced coffee and some fruit from one of my backyard trees. Lunch is usually a salad with very little differences from day to day.

    Dinner is where things get changed up for me.

    Usually the same thing M-F for work hours as I bring all my food and prep on Sunday evenings. Dinners change up depending on what protein I have thawing and what is available. Weekends I try to make a "special" breakfast if I have time and dont' have to be at the dog show too early - usually protein pancakes or a bake of some kind.

    I'm on a 12-week program. The first phase of the program I eat the same things at the same time every day. My macros are all figured out and I really enjoy the food.

    Next phase (2-3 weeks) I'll have something a bit different.

    I love the food, I like that I don't have to rethink about my macros until the next phase. I was getting so tired of my husband asking me, "What's for dinner". Well, I have my plan pinned on the fridge, so he knows what I'm having - if he doesn't want it he is free to have something different! :D

    THIS IS SO ME!!! I do alternate items, but overall it's just easier to stick with the basic program.

    I think that when we figure out the whole "healthy" balance thing, it's easier to run your body on the good stuff that gets the job done. How can you go wrong with the best food that makes your body run well. Take a look at your MOST USED foods for breakfast, snacks, mid-day and evening... there are probably about 40-50 "items" you return to almost every day, or couple of days -- sounds perfect to me!

    Yep. I pretty much do. It's all planned to fit my macros and it works for me. When I go out (usually about once a week) I order the healthiest thing on the menu (usually meat with steamed vegetables) but for the most part it's the same old same old.

    I drive my boyfriend crazy by eating the exact same breakfast every day.... cheerios, banana, and none fat milk. i enjoy it, it fills me up, and its healthy so i see no reason other then on the weekend with friends to change, and then i usually feel sick afterwards from the richness. lunch i do about 2 weeks of the same thing then switch to my next phase but dinner always changes.

    i think it is healthy for your body to have the same foods other then changing up the fruits and veggies... bodies like routine

    I tend to stick to many of the same things, since they are easy and my health is variable: work days organic greek yogurt and organic flax seeds, coffee, and I make these things that I call 'hobo stew' with whatever vegetarian proteins and vegetables are available and on sale, so it's different every time, but the same for the few week days that I eat it for dinner. Smart puffs and organic chocolate seem to happen every evening, though, so that is one constant that I tend to like! Honestly, if I didn't keep track of what I ate, I would worry more about the range and nutrients, but i take a bunch of specific supplements that were recommended by doctors because of having gotten electrocuted in the past and having certain kinds of damage--
