Do you eat the same things everyday to stay on track?

I usually eat the same breakfast and snacks everyday. I do however have the same menu for lunch and dinner every week. It does help me stay on track. Might be a good option for you.

I tend to eat the same things for breakfast and lunch most days. I'm a creature of habit... I give variety to my lunch by swapping out the protein with leftovers from supper (so, instead of hummus, I might have leftover fish, for example).

Makes it simpler for me. I leave the 'thinking' for supper time, hahaha!

ETA: If I can't decide on supper, I'll go through my recipes that I've already entered in MFP, and pick one from that list.

Yes I try to eat the same things every day as well. Making a week or two meal plan is a great idea!

I have most of my food planned during the week. Breakfast and lunches. I go on auto-pilot in the morning making my eggs and bacon, or protein shake and grapefruit. Lunch/snacks are salad, yogurt with berries and almonds or ground flaxseed. Apple with AB. Done and done!

I also like to be consistent because it's easier to "copy from date" than inputting it all in. I haz a lazy.

Do you eat the same things everday while trying to lose weight or do you change it up? I think part of my 'not being able to stay on plan' is because there are SO many food choices and I get overwhelmed. I know it's not ideal for long term (boredom) but I think I might try making a week or two meal plan and just have the same things everyday. Might allow me to stick to my calorie goal better without impluse choices ...

I usually eat the same breakfast during the work week, then have fun on weekends. Also, to save time and effort, I'll make a big recipe of something healthy that I can eat at work for lunch all week. Let's me experiment each week, but stay on track.

I tend to stick to pretty much the same foods every day just so I don't have to think about it. I do oatmeal or Jimmy Dean delight sandwich for 1st meal, Ezekiel bread and peanut butter for 2nd meal, soup or such for 3rd meal, then a lean protein and veggie for 4th meal. Same snacks every day. I mix it up a little, but I don't have the time or energy to put that much thought into what I eat every day. I know almost exactly what's going in my body, so it takes the guesswork out (hmmm, can I eat this and still come in under my calories???).

It's not for everyone, I've been told that people would get bored doing it like that. I don't usually, but when I do I go ahead and mix it up. Not the end of the world

Instead of planning to eat the same thing everyday (boring) just pre plan a week or two of meals and make a few of them in advance and either refrigerate (and label) or freeze.

Do whatever works best for you. Yes, it's great to get a variety of foods to get a mix of nutrients. However, if consistency makes it easier to stick to your goals, do that! Many fitness professionals eat the same old chicken breast and steamed broccoli for multiple meals in a day just to make it easier to plan and food prep!

I eat the same things for breakfast. Either oatmeal or a half a bagel with PB. Weekends I sometimes mix it up.

Dinner is where I am creative, usually based on the ingredients that were on sale at the store that week. I have a really easy standby dinner in case I can't think of anything else - protein (usually chicken) + veggie (lots of frozen veggies in my house, or whatever was on sale that week at the grocery store) + starch (quinoa, rice, pasta, more veggies - depends on what else I ate that day). Lunch is usually leftovers of dinner the night before.

It might not be a bad idea to create yourself 3-5 standby meals that are easy, and can be adjusted for what you have on hand. Having go-to meals might make it easier.

Also the 2 week meal plan is helpful in the grocery store! It might also get you on track to take a few weeks to settle into a routine with food, then you can always create a new 2 week meal plan when you get bored with what you have.

I plan on my dinners on a bi-weekly basis, but not anything else. Breakfast is usually pretty similar from day to day. And lunch I try to keep as left overs or sandwiches.
