eating the same thing

I drink one of my green smoothies and eat mixed nuts for breakfast and lunch. I enjoy them and feel good after, so that has been my routine. Supper is usually something different every night.

Not me-I have to mix it up some or I will get bored like the other girl said. I like knowing that with tracking calories with MFP that I can have a variety of things just as long as it is within the calorie range. Some mornings I have greek yogurt, some I have bagel things, a protein shake. Lunch I normally have some sort of lean cuisine and change that up. Just works for me.....I guess whatever works!!

I am with you on this, I eat the same meals breakfast and lunch often, over and over. Dinners vary a little with diff. meats etc but someone told me this is not bad at all. It is easier to stay on track, for me. If I get tired of something, I will change it. As long as food is nutritious, and I eat enough calories, it will do me just great!

No, you are not alone;) denise:drinker: :drinker:

Hey everyone-

I just want to see how alone i am on this. I eat the same thing for breakfast and lunch during the week. (weekends are the same breakfast, but lunch usually changes up a bit)

Breakfast: 1/2c mixed nuts with coffee and water
Lunch: Apple, Banana, Granola, All natural Almond Butter

Honestly, after my 20mile commute to work, the breakfast fills me up completely...and then the lunch can pretty much get me through until my commute home.

Am i the only one who has found meals that just work for me? For dinner, it's always mixed up with different meats, random and odd veggies, and sweet taters--so i'm getting to try new things for dinner.

Yep, I'm a bacon and egg girl too:) I love some cheese mixed in a multi grain toast;) denise

Bacon and eggs forever. Every day until the day I die.

Actually, these last few days 3+ cups of various sauteed veggies have ended up along side my beloved bacon and eggs. The change is good, but the stars are the same.

I eat a lot of the same things every day too. If it works for you, why change it??

Me too. I eat the same thing every week day. I eat differently on the weekends. But on Sunday afternoons, I prepare 5 salads, 5 morning snacks, 5 afternoon snacks...so that during the week, not only do I eat healthy, but I can just grab and go in the morning. I do switch up the types of foods/toppings from week to week, but Monday thru Friday of the week, evey day will be exactly the same. Dinner is the only thing that changes every day. Ive found what works for me.

Breakfast: Protein shake
Morning snack: greek yogurt/cottage cheese mixture with fruit and something crunchy (like granole or fiber cereal) to top it
Lunch: Salad with different dressings and protein from week to week
afternoon snack: almonds
Dinner: varies

BUT....on the weekends....dont you DARE give me a salad!! lol

I am an Aspie, so I like sameness. When I don't have dinner leftovers to eat up for breakfast, I eat a plain roast beef sandwich and a serving of baked chips, a can of Diet Coke, and a 32 ounce glass of water. Every day.

It doesn't make my head hurt, it doesn't weigh me down, it doesn't bind me up or give me the runs, and it's within calorie guidelines. So it works for me. (Plus, I don't "feel like" I'm on a diet when I can have chips, and that is purely a psychological issue from a teenage diet I was put on.)

Yes i pretty much eat the same thing for breakfast and lunch every day and keep my snacks the same too. My evening meals aren't that varied either....I know what I like and what will fill me up and that's good enough for me. When I get bored I swap items around slightly but essentially stick to the same formula:

Breakfast - cereal bar

Morning snack - cereal bar

Lunch - sandwich, snack bar & yogurt

P.M snack - yoghurt and cereal bar

Dinner: rice, pasta, potato or noodles with either tuna, prawns or quorn. I also have chicken as well every so often.

If I'm at placement for uni I might have a ready meal at lunch instead and a kiddies variety pack of cereal in the morning but everything else stays the same.

Works for me!

I so the same thing too. It means you don't have to think about food. Thinking about food makes me crazy!

I don't eat the same exact thing every day, but have like 3-4 things I alternate between during the way. Makes it more simple to plan out, cheaper on the budget. I used to eat the same exact thing day after day, but it got old and I wanted variety. So I've been trying to add a new meal/idea 1-2 times a month.

Yeah, I do the same. I eat the same thing every weekday, at least until dinner. I happen to like it a lot, too...
