Eating the same thing everyday

I have basically eaten the same breakfast for 8 years not for dieting purposes but because I like it and it fills me up.


6 egg whites, 1 cup of frozen spinach(defrosted and squeezed out) and 1 ounce of cheese eaten with salsa and sometimes sour cream. Yum:)

I do eat the same lunch for weeks at a time during the weekdays. I switch it up on the weekends but not by much.

Some people need variety and some don't. To each his own... I eat a lot of the same things because I want to.

Just add a little of this, a little of that to each meal. For example, say you buy half a cow and have it in your freezer. Chances are you're gonna wind up eating beef around 300 days a year. But one day make it with rice, the next with brocolli, the next with squash, the next grind it up and have hamburgers on a bun

I have been doing this, sort of, for the past few months. It has worked great for me! I usually have a protein shake for breakfast, then 3 peices of fruit, deli meat, and greek yogurt for lunch. There are still small variations to this, that keeps me from getting bored, such as different types of fruit, and deli meat.

Yep, i tend to have the same thing for all meals monday thru friday. Then on the weekends, we cook healthy but better stuff. This takes all guessing out and i usually have everything because i normally buy the same stuff at the store. Plus, i loose weight faster when i stick to the same stuff. Not sure why.

I eat the same breakfast/lunch most weekdays, and I'm fine with it. It takes out a lot of the guesswork, and it's filled with enough fruits and vegetables becoming "malnourished" isn't an issue. Nights and weekends, I vary things.

I agree with this and have done it for the last 9 months. works for me, keeps it simple. I'm not big on cooking so I stick with my go to meals, snacks and protein shakes.

I have 2 make-ahead breakfasts that I switch between during the week (oatmeal with yogurt and dried fruit or spinach egg cups)

Lunches are often leftovers, so they vary quite a bit.

I usually bring 4 small snack foods for mid-morning and mid-afternoon. I have about 8 things that I rotate between...so there is a bunch of overlap there too.

Monday through Friday I usually have a greek yogurt and 2 cheese sticks for breakfast. Lunch I will usually get a pita wrap sandwich with grilled chicken and fresh veggies and tzatziki sauce. Dinners are different every night.

I eat a very limit menu for breakfast and lunches, dinners are a bit more varied but its so much easier to keep track without any guess work, I don't have to think if it fits into my goals I simply know it does , cant eat for nutrition sake and get on with my day.

I've tried that before, and personally, I would get "bored" with it and find myself eating less... So maybe that's a good thing? :laugh:

I tend to eat a lot of the same foods every day because I'm not a cook and I need simple recipes and foods that I know I can prepare easily. I have had problems in the past with big ideas and food getting wasted. It also helps when I go grocery shopping because I don't have to make a super detailed list and I can buy a lot just from thinking about what I need in the store.

On the occasion that I do want to try new things I limit myself to ONE thing... if I like the first one I try I end up eating that several times and everything else is forgotten. Once I try and perfect the new things it is added to the rotation.

This week for example I got a big thing of turkey from costco. Lunches are turkey wraps and dinners are turkey salads. They feature a lot of the same ingredients but leave one out here, add another there and I have some variety. It also leaves me flexible so I don't get stuck without one ingredient. Turkey, black olives, avocado, romaine lettuce and shredded cheese top my list most weeks.

So I am thinking of eating the same thing every day for breakfast and lunch. I think this might be the only way to stay disciplined. I could switch it up from week to week just so I don't get too tired of the same thing. Is there anyone else out there that does this and if so, does it work for you?

Works for me...all my meals are basically the same daily except dinner. If I give myself too much variety, I crave crazy foods!

same here. it is easier for me to do my lunches if it is the same and healthy. Rice, Veggies and a protein - usually albacore or tuna. I would recommend putting different seasonings, dressings with your emails to add change... such as pico de gallo, tomatillo, hot sauce or even Parmesan cheese... Salads typically always for dinner - with chicken - I just change up the veggies... my snacks are always protein shake (mix up fruit sometimes), chobani yogurt and a bar..

same but different. good luck!

I eat the same breakfast every day (6 ounces greek yogurt, 1/4 cup granola, 1 tablespoon chia seeds) and then I will typically eat the same types of foods for lunch and dinner (turkey or salmon). It's just easier for me that way.
