The only time I eat the same thing everyday is when I'm broke, but it is a very effective way to keep your eating controlled.0

its crazy how much fresh produce cost, excited for this summer for the famer markets to get some local deals 0

I'm really consistent in what I eat daily as well, I just very the ingredients a bit to keep it exciting:
Breakfast:
Two hardboiled eggs with banana or one cup baked yam
1/4 cup oats with apple, cinnamon, and almond butter
Apple with 10-20 almonds
Lunch:
Salad - no dressing (usually add herbs or lemon juice)
with fish, or quinoa
Snack:
Fruit
Nuts
Protein shake
Dinner:
Grilled Veggies with Baked Yam, quinoa or some sort of protein
Desert:
Fruit and a few nuts
I find I stay satisfied, and I like knowing that my days are fairly predictable so I don't have to stress to much.0 -
I don't really do this but the menu sounds pretty good (barring the Yoplait, I can't eat that stuff anymore after reading it has more sugar than a serving of Lucky Charms
).
A lot of celebs lose weight eating this way. As long as the calorie goals are met, I think you're good.0 -
Hi Destiny,
It's a lot easier to eat the same thing all the time. Just make sure you don't get bored. When you find yourself thinking 'Oh no, turkey again?!' you might want to change things around a bit. When I feel I'm getting to that point, I try think of something new and work it in 0 -
Through the week, I eat the same thing for lunch and dinner. I do vary once in awhile, but it takes the guess work out of things and streamlines the process! I've made dinner simply a protein and a veggie but that is the only meal that really varies. On the weekends, I vary the meals up but it doesn't really stray too far from the usual.0

I don't see anything that is terrible but you might want to ditch the granola for a bowl of cooked steel cut oats in order to eliminate the sugar and bad fats that most commercial granolas contain. I just add a tiny bit of butter to my oatmeal when I have it---most of the time I have eggs for breakfast. Steel cut oats are chewier and more flavorful than regular oatmeal and stay with you longer.
What is your calorie count and are you meeting your protein and fat macros? I tend to eat the same things every day but I do mix it up a bit. I let my body "hum" for different foods. If I am just sick of eating eggs, I figure my body is trying to tell me something and I will have my steel cut oats with a couple of slices of pea meal bacon on the side.0 -
I did this for the first month. Mainly because when I started I could only think of a few things that fit in my nutrition goal and also it helped me to figure out portion control. So I found what worked and kept repeating. Also because I have a limited budget for food and I am single so it is hard to buy a big variety of stuff without anything going to waste.
This is my fourth week now and am starting to mix it up a little more. I am learning as I go. It can be fun to create meals using the MFP database so you can see how many calories something will be before you make it. But for the most part, I repeat a lot. Like a salad for lunch almost every day.
Sounds like you are on the right track, your menu sounds very healthy. Good luck!0 -
Great meal plan! I see a dietician and she says as long as you stick to more protein than carbs you are on an awesome track and the weight will come off...she's totally right so far! It's difficult though because carbs are pretty much in everything I eat a variety of foods all the time...I couldn't eat the same thing everyday. There is no right or wrong though...as long as you're eating healthy and exercising you're on the right track. Do you have Trader Joe's by you? They sell nothing but healthy food at awesome prices.
Good luck...you're doing great!0 -
I don't know about every day, but I certainly eat the same things very frequently. A pretty low calorie lunch and then a high protein dinner after I go to the gym. Because of the amount of protein I need, dinner usually involves some kind of rotisserie or grilled chicken, and protein shakes.0

I eat almost the same things every day, which I think is ok (because when you try to eat clean, you naturally limit yourself to fruits, veggies and lean protein!).
My nutritionist told me a year ago that I eat avocado almost every day and would turn in to an avocado, but I don't see anything wrong with that (as long as it fits within your fat guidelines). If it works for you, keep with it!0 -

From Monday to Friday, I eat the same breakfast, snack, lunch etc. everyday. My suppers involve a lot of the same types of things but I alternate chicken, salmon, haddock, pork, and on Friday I always have something really good. I'm less structured on the weekends but again, I tend to eat the same foods. It's just easier to plan means, and enter them on MFP that way. I've lost 26 pounds since January doing this, and so far I'm not bored with my food choices. Good luck!0

I generally eat the same breakfast everyday. Snacks, I have like 5 that I rotate between. Dinner (which I cook two of, and bring one for lunch the next day) is usually some variation on veggies-protein-bit of whole starch. So not exactly the same thing every day, but in a routine, yes.0

I like your meal plan ... might have to steal it!! 0

Monday thru Friday I eat mostly the same thing. I strive for low carb, 1200 cal days.
Breakfast: 1 or 2 eggs
4 pieces of bacon
coffee
Lunch: grilled chicken breast
veggies of some kind normally lettuce or green beans or cabbage
Supper: grilled chicken or shrimp or fish
zuchinni and squash or other veggies.
I can grean beans in the summer out of the garden so I fall back on them a lot. I normally don't snack but when I do I do something low carb as well.. Pepperoni slices or a piece of cheese. Sugar free jello.
Very consistant. But, it works for me. I've lost 65 lbs so far.
Good luck friend me if you'd like.0 -
I'm a big fan of having a "stable of staples" handy that I eat often enough to approximately know the calories and macros that come from a specific serving size. This way I can vary what I eat somewhat but still put together a good meal plan for the day.0

i love eating the same things lol as long as they are tasty! i cook for me and the boo. i like to meal prep by making mass amounts of italian turkey or chicken burgers and they are delicious! i eat them as a burger or cut them up and mix with vegetables. i also eat a lot of asparagus. i make a huge batch of black bean and lentil soup in the crockpot that is delicious on its own and i can take a bit of the liquid out and eat it like a chili by adding ground turkey to it. i also eat a lot of hardboiled eggs and scrambled egg whites with veggies. mmmmm i'm hungry now.0

If you have any space with plenty of sunshine, plant a few veggies of your own, even if they are in pots. You can do a tomato plant, pole beans that climb a fence, peppers. Plants are inexpensive, seeds are cheaper, seeds from a store bought tomato or pepper that you would throw out are even better!0

Topic: Eating the same thing everyday
BUMP TO READ LATER TODAY, THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR THE INPUT, XXX GG0 -
I love food so I can't imagine eating the same thing everyday. I definitely have favorite meals that pop up often in my diary, but I try to vary it so I don't get bored. As long as this method works for you, go for it.0
-
I try to eat a variety but do notice that I seem to sway back to the same regular foods. Eggs, almonds, quiche, yogurt. Eating the same thing is helpful though because you know the calories in what you are eating. If it works why not!!!0

Hey yall ! I appreciate everyones input! I'm pretty happy with how its working out so far, my body feels so "clean" and im never hungry. I guess im going over in the sugar department for my daily intake because of all the fruit but im fine with that, because its a lot better then when I was pregnant and ate a lot of donuts! LOL. im doing this for two weeks straight, then switch up the dinners... have only 150lbs to lose!!! may 1st I will get to work out again, yeah! that will help, may need more protein when I start that. Thanks again Yall 0

I switch it up a little more, but not much
Breakfast Sandwich: egg, low-fat Swiss, turkey sausage patty or salmon on a mini whole wheat bagel.
M Snack: Fruit with a little 0% Chobani yogurt, walnuts and dried cranberries.
Lunch: Unless it is left overs, it's grilled chicken and a veggie, steak and a veggie, or center cut pork chop and a veggie.
A Snack: Is cheese and or nuts.
Dinner: Chicken, pork, steak, fish and 2 veggies.
Usually have a small dessert cookie, chocolate or something like that.
I don't eat much in the way of salad (just got sick of it), and on Saturdays I cook bacon and eggs for the family. Once a week I have avocado and tomato salad with cottage cheese.0 -
Thank you for ideas! I am so lost on what to be eating and never meet my or get close to my calories I should have daily! I wanted to ask for those who work do you just fix alot of meat up and have it ready?0
