    for the most part i do especially breakfast which is usually toast with peanut butter and right now i'm on a strawberry jam kick. lunch is usually dinner from the night before and i'll eat the left overs until they're gone.

    I tend to eat the same thing almost everyday for breakfast. I have a Nature Valley Fruit & Nut bar and a Yoplait light yogurt. I mostly do that because they are quick and convenient for me to take no matter if I am going to work or play.

    That works for a lot of people, but I'm not one of them. I have to follow what I'm craving or else I'll end up binging later.

    I do this just because I'm picky about what i eat in the morning. Usually i will just have a protein shake which ties me over until lunch

    its all up to whether you can handle repetition in the foods you eat or if you get bored easily. i started having the same foods everyday after i worked out a balance for my macros, adding in all the foods i love and know would keep me happy (blueberries and frozen yogurt haha). it is unusual at first but it really just becomes routine/habit. i find that for me it made me think of eating as a daily task rather then a way to celebrate etc. i still love the foods i eat (and if i get bored i just cook them in different ways :) )
    hope you find what suits you. x

    I eat the same breakfast everyday and i love it. I eat 1 apple with 1 tablespoon of peanut butter and 1 cup of milk. Today I decided to add a little granola to my apples and some cinnamon it was goood.

    Yes, it works for me. Check my diary, Monday through Friday breakfast, lunch, and morning snack are always the same.

    Has anybody read the book and followed the meal plan by Christine Avanti "skinny Chicks Don't Eat Salad"?

    I generally eat the same thing for breakfast every day - plain oatmeal with raisins and natural applesauce mixed in along with a cup of coffee. Even as a kid I always ate the same thing for breakfast (although then it was the sugary oatmeal). Every now and then I may have something different but 98% of the time it is the same thing and it works for me. :)

    I always vary my lunches but do tend to eat the same breakfast each day (just a preference because I love it). For breakfast I usually have a diced apple with non-fat yoghurt, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds on top. Have found that to be more satisfying and keeps me full until my morning snack (which is usually a protein shake after my workout).

    WHat I did was make 4 meal plans with breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks(if you want).

    Then i would eat 1 plan for a week then do another plan. So you change meals every week.


    I like this idea. It might be very helpful to me. I do pretty much have a standard breakfast but then it all usually goes downhill from there. Dr gave me 12 weeks to lower cholesterol or meds. Just don't need more meds in my life.

    nutrition wise variety is best to ensure you get all the vitamins and minerals your body needs.

    In the week I will choose from hard boiled egg sandwich, poached egg on toast or a bowl of porridge and if I am feeling lazy / tired - sultana bran with milk, cornish pasty or a chicken sandwich. At the weekends I tend to get up later to save the calories for lunch.
