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

I eat the same thing for breakfast lately because I don't want to have to think about what to eat. I give it a bit more variety for lunch. Nuts, meat, veggies, whole grains, and some fruits mainly.

I usually do this for a week at a time and then the next week I switch it up slightly by adding or removing something but it's generally much the same.

I don't have the same thing for breakfast every day but if I'm making pancakes on the weekend then I'll probably have a few days of leftovers, same thing with a big pot of steel cut oats. If not then it's usually Kashi Go-lean and 1/2 a banana.

Lunches are either something I made for the week or it's leftovers of the night before every day all week.

I got out of the habit of buying cold-cuts and making sandwiches for the week because the sodium is either way to high or I'm eating reduced sodium coldcuts which actually aren't very good.

For the most part i do.mthere is some variance but its generally the same stuff week after week. 1. It's easy and I know the amount I can eat. 2. It's usually filling tasty for that I like. 3. It makes my very busy life that much simpler.

I get on food...kicks. I'll eat the same thing for breakfast (or lunch) for weeks. When I get tired of that or I start craving something else I'll switch over and do that for weeks. It's easier to log and after I've made it 5 or 6 times I have the serving sizes down pat and the preparation process streamlined so it's much faster.

Keep it simple! Eating the same (or similar) stuff before work, or during the week just make life much simpler. I just make sure I have the staples to make these meals and they I don't have to worry or fuss about what to bring or think about where to go and how many calories these 'other' things are. I save that kind of fun for the weekend! :-)

I tend to have the same thing for breakfast, but mostly because it's easy. I make a quinoa-oatmeal (though I substitute Bob's 9-grain cereal for the oatmeal) bake and it makes six servings, which almost covers my week. All I do in the morning is add a little almond milk and warm it up in the microwave. Quick, easy, and very tasty. Lunch is either dinner leftovers or a salad, which I make up the evening before. I get tired of salads after a while so need to change it up.

I've been having porridge for breakfast every morning for soooooo long now, but I love it

Sure when the summer comes in, our change it up

Not really a lunch person, a big breakfast keeps me going

I'm single, so repeating a meal plan for the week is incredibly effective (cost-wise and preparation-wise) for me. My brother is a personal trainer, so he's been kind of guiding me on meals, and he says that repetition is okay, but to try to change it up every week a little bit.

I just re-vamped my breakfast by discovering the BEST a.m. smoothie EVER. It packs 40grams of protein, so it keeps me incredibly satisfied until lunch. I still eat a snack at 10, but it's amazing how filling and yummy this is. It's my version of a Green Monster:

a couple handfuls of spinach
1 TBS peanut butter
1 cup of vanilla coconut milk (or any you like)
1 frozen banana cut into slices
1 TBS chia seeds
1 scoop gold standard french vanilla 100% whey protein powder

The spinach makes it sound NASTY, but it's not. It's bright green and all you taste is the peanut butter and banana, and the protein powder adds a yummy kick on the sweetness.

Usually for snack I'll do edamame (1cup packs as much as a chicken breast), then some variation on chicken for lunch w/a veggie, another veggie or nuts for an afternoon snack, and then a light, protein-packed dinner w/a veggie, but low in calories. Post workout (i workout at night), i'll do another protein shake.

I am totally fine with monotony, so this keeps me on track and keeps it simple for me. My breakfast has been the same for a few weeks because the smoothie is easy and packed w/nutrients, but every week i'll change up the snacks and lunch just to give me some variety.

I have a couple of breakfasts, depending on how much time I have:

--Breakfast: a bowl of cereal (Corn Chex, Cheerios, or Rice Crispies), a fresh fruit, and milk
--Frozen breakfast meal (two pancakes and turkey sausage)
--Fried egg, toast, fruit
--Scrambled egg with cheese, toast, fruit

For lunch, I end up eating a lot of frozen meals. I know they're high in sodium but they're also quick and easy and controlled in a way that our office canteen isn't! I also have lots of salads with meat and cheese on them. (Usually chicken leftover from our Monday night rotisserie chicken meal). I map out the week (see below) and make my salad lunches at the same time as I make the dinner salads, or while DH cleans up the dinner dishes.

I also have started planning meals in advance. Sunday night, I plan meals for the entire week and make a grocery list. I go grocery shopping after work on Monday. I'm only 4 weeks into it, so I can't claim it's a habit yet, but I'm working on making it one. When I have a plan, we eat better, we eat in instead of eating out, and we eat more fresh fruits and veggies. (Our grocery bill has gone up, but our dining out costs have decreased more)

So, tonight we're having rotisserie chicken, ribeye tomorrow, tortellini on Wednesday, taco salad Thursday, leftovers Friday, Chicken Cordon Bleu (frozen) Saturday and we're going to Applebee's Sunday night. Knowing this now takes away the nightly "what should we have for dinner?" question--which keeps me way more on track. (Yes, I measure or weigh each of those so I know how many calories I'm taking in!)

So, I vote for a plan--for all meals.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
