    I find it easier to have a limited range of meals and then rotate through them for some variety.

    It's a little silly but have you tried thinking in different colors? Alot of vegetables have different vitamins and minerals depending on their color. Maybe you could go for purple veggies at dinner one night, and orange the next?

    Thanks for the link, that was the kind of thing that I was wondering... If I am missing out on benefits of mixing up my veggies more. Thanks again

    And thanks everyone, glad to know I am not the only one who sticks to what they know :)

    Like alot of people here I basically eat the same breakfast and lunch M-F, slighty different on weekends. I do change up my dinners though. I take multi-vitamins just in case I'm lacking somewhere. Had a full metabolic panel test type thing at my doctor and she said I just need more calcium. I think if you feel healthy, then stick with what works for you. Haven't heard too much about scurvy type things for the main stream public ;)

    My breakfast usually consists of the same things and I just switch it up now and then. Fruit, yogurt, cereal, eggs, etc.

    Lunch is either usually a salad, or I might go out for sushi or something with my family.

    Dinner is almost always different. Whether we go out for dinner, or make something at home. It's never the same.|


    But I do know what you mean, it's so much easier to just eat the same thing every day. Sometimes I'll do that if we have a lot of leftovers. But if not, I'll find something else~

    Breakfasts and lunches are usually the same daily. I may mix up whatever veggie I have at lunch or what fruit I have for a snack but the main idea is the same. Dinners are never the same unless we have leftovers.

    EATING THE SAME FOOD IS EASIER TO TRACK, BUT I TEND TO GET BORED AND SOMETIMES GET OFF TRACK IF I DON'T MIX IT UP A LITTLE.

    I eat the same breakfast every single morning, rotate between a few different options for lunch and snacks, and then dinner I switch up frequently. I do find it much easier to track and I actually don't get bored. The reason I eat the same things are because I like them so much. :smile:

    I frequently make the same meals over and over again - for example, for dinner I quite often make sausage with vegetables and either potatoes or pasta - cause it's easy

    I pretty much eat the same foods, mostly because I'm kind of picky and I don't really like cooking. That does make it hard to come close to my target, though.

    THERE. IS. NO. SUCH. THING. AS. TOO. MUCH. BROCCOLI.

    though sams club does have a really great frozen California blend too (broccoli, cauliflower, carrot) that might branch out your veggies a bit. low sodium or rinsed canned spinach is awesome too

    I tend to eat and drink the same foods everyday and have to make it a point to mix things up...because I read somewhere recently if I eat the same things day in and day out, my body will get accustomed to it and actually become allergic to the things I'm eating constantly. I don't know if that's true or not,(it's probably not true) but it has influenced me to make it my business to mix things up a bit.
