Do you eat the same thing everyday for breakfast/lunch?

I make oat smoothies for breakfast and for lunch sometimes

What do you put in your oat smoothie?

Breakfast for me is usually the same: Breakfast sandwich made with 1 oz organic ham, 2 egg whites, 1 slice 2% American cheese, and 2 oz avocado on a Thomas' lite multi-grain english muffin. I like it and it fills me up.

Lunch I usually eat the same things a few times each week just because I prep most of my meals for the week on Sunday nights and I get a few servings of each thing. I will make two things for lunch each week. I make something new each week for variety.

I eat almost the same thing every week day. I switch between two breakfasts that I like, either a scrambled egg and 1 slice of turkey bacon, or a starbucks sandwich once a week. My husband did start getting bagels recently and I've been having half of one with peanut butter sometimes.

I eat generally the same salad for lunch- it slightly changes depending on the veggies available at the salad bar. I always has Romaine, spinach, some purple lettuce I don't know the name of, broccoli, cucumber, and a ginger dressing. I really love when there is soybeans, but if not I get a scoop of chickpeas. Then I get whatever else looks good that day- carrots, black beans, corn, onions, peas. Sometimes I get soup instead of salad. I am lucky and we have a great cafeteria at work.

For snacks I eat a greek yogurt everyday, some kind of fruit, or protein bars. Sometimes peanut butter toast. I also generally eat the same meals for dinner, I have about 5 that I usually eat. It's easier for me to know what I'm shopping for and that everyone in the family likes the food I make.

I don't get bored, but everyone is different. I do have more variety on the weekends though, which usually ends up being restaurant food or junk food lol.

Typically, I try to standardize my meals and snacks that I do not eat at home. Today I made up my breakfast and snacks for the week so they are ready to grab on my way out the door. I work in a hospital so my lunches will consist of salad bar and if there is fish being served that day I will get that. But my breakfast and snacks are usually the same which consist of a granola/yogurt bar in the morning (which I am thinking about changing to cottage cheese and a fruit added in), but then I will have a veggie for morning snack, then lunch at work, then an afternoon snack of some whole grain crackers and a low fat string cheese. Dinner I am usually home for, but I try to do something lighter, fish and rice and veggies. I have found I do better when I am in routine and if I have things to eat throughout the day that are healthy I avoid going to the vending machines or the cafeteria for cookies. I drink a lot of water or tea throughout the day to avoid being thirsty and craving a soda.

I used to eat peanut butter and jelly every single day for lunch. All I can say is, now I never want to see another peanut butter and jelly sandwich! I think it's dangerous to eat the same thing every day (for me at least). I get tired of it and end up eating something I shouldn't.

Yes. I have a yogurt smoothie for breakfast daily. I change the fruit up so I don't get bored with it. Breakfast and lunch are combined because I work 2nd shift and don't get out of bed much before 10:30 am. Then for work I have a granola bar for each break in the winter and salad or cottage cheese in the warmer months.

I personally think it still comes down to what you're comfortable with, if having a lack of variety isn't going to bother you, than go for it if it is an easier solution. But if you see yourself getting bored, I'd add the variety back in so you don't get fed up and eat any and every thing.

Before I started this, I generally didn't eat breakfast (and then would be ravenous and overeat for lunch). The instant oatmeal with peanut butter that I eat most mornings keeps me from eating too much at lunch, and it's so easy that even if I'm running late I can fit it in. So it works for me; I didn't ever have a varied breakfast, so eating the same thing works for me.

I like to write out a menu for the week. Breakfast and lunches (for the most part) for the week is the same. I hang it on the fridge and follow it. Takes the guess work out of the age old question... What's for dinner? I do my weekly shopping based on that menu. I stay on track both calories and budget.

I vary my breakfasts, lunches and dinners day to day. Although my breakfasts are similar in that I have protein shakes - I change up the flavours and try different fruits, etc with them, time to time. My weekends may vary a little differently and occassionally a reward breakfast will come around.

My lunches vary, but mostly of late some salads with small portions of meat or fish or tuna - or occassionally a pasta. Now and again a sandwich containing egg.

Not sure how I would go eating the same things day in day out for b/fast and lunch. Week after week .... nah, a bit of variety makes it interesting.

Question: If you did eat the same thing day in, day out for weeks and even months on months, once you reached your goal(s), would you then continue down that track?? .....Or would you start trying different things.

I think varying meals whilst keeping track of your weight/fitness may put you onto a better path in this regard.

I do eat the same breakfasts most days. This helps because I can be lazy other wise. I have either peanut butter on toast, or an egg or two , slice of toast and vegiemite. I bought some bacon yesterday, so I might have that tomorrow. One of my weight issues, was being lazy. No excuses now.

Lunch varies depending on what's on hand. Last week we had ham and cheese sandwiches a lot. With tomato until we used it all. Today I made my husband and I a bacon and egg wrap. Sometimes it's meat and salad, though salads leave me short on calories. Working on that one.

Dinner is at work and is leftovers. Tonight I am have spagetti and bolagnaise. I am finding meat, rice/pasta/mashed potato and vegies of some sort is a good basic plain for me. We usally eat like that at home.

No, I mix it up... whatever I feel like eating and have time for. Life is too short to eat the same foods everyday

I just started this program. But I dont do the same thing everyday for breakfest. I like to change it up so its not so boring for me. I do watch my calories when I change it up. I may try a plan for a week then change it up. But as of right now everyday is different.

I mix it up every month or so

I tend to eat the same things generally for a week or two, then I try and mix it up a little. That way, it's very easy on a daily basis but I don't get bored.

Me too.

I do as well, makes it easy for preparing and planning for my work day as I usually eat breakfast at work
