Same breakfast?

I have been noticing that I am eating pretty much the exact same breakfast most days of the week. Occasionally, I will change the fruit or I might go out for brunch but other than that, it is the exact same thing.

Anyone else do that? I am assuming this isn't a problem, as it is a good breakfast.

    Why would it be a problem?

    Most people are creatures of habit...

    During the week I eat pretty much the same thing...either scrambled eggs and pinto beans or scrambled eggs and oat or scrambled eggs and toast. I branch out a bit on the weekends when I have more time to cook in the morning.

    I go through periods of doing this. Right now I am changing it up a little, but for the longest time, I was just eating oatmeal and egg white mcmuffins in the morning during the week. Smoked salmon on Thursdays.

    I go through lengthy periods of time when I basically eat the same foods every day for all my meals and snacks. It makes meal planning and grocery shopping easy. I eat it until I get tired of it then I change things up a bit.

    I eat the same things until the package is empty. Different foods through the day, though.

    This is pretty much what I do too.

    I eat the same breakfast nearly every day right now. I like being able to just copy it over and then adjust the quantity of fruit.

    So much easier to have the same thing for breakfast most days. simply grab and go no having to think or make another decision. No option paralysis! I can't stand to eat the same dinner over and over but breakfast - hey its easy!

    Hi other Carla lol. I never have time to make anything in the morning, so I just buy a variety of protein bars & that's what I eat before work. I don't see anything wrong with it, & getting different brands keeps me from getting tired of the same thing. Weekends I will make eggs which I look forward to so much!!!

    I do this. I have a few things that are on regular rotation. Logging breakfast is the easiest meal for me as I can usually reuse yesterday's meal or tweak yesterday's meal or find one item and it gives me options for things I frequently eat with that item.

    I do this! I recently tried changing things up a bit but I miss my same old same old breakfast. I think it's comforting and predictable. Boring but yummy.

    I pretty much eat the same thing for breakfast every day. To be honest I am really tired of eggs and bacon now and have been sticking to oatmeal, but I lack protein in it which is a bummer! I have to find another way to get some protein in ...

    I eat the same two breakfasts most days, if I'm having breakfast. I like it, it's quick and easy, and it both fits in my calorie goals and helps me perform later at the gym. Meh.

    I never thought of doing that for snacks and it would definitely help for grocery shopping/prep! It seems to be only breakfast that I do the same thing all the time. No idea why.

    Thanks!

    I switch between two standbys: oatmeal with peanut butter some days, cottage cheese others. After three months I'm not bored.

    I make and weigh out 5 portions of steel cut oats with quinoa on Sunday night. Then each morning I just reheat a portion, add fresh yogurt, banana, honey, and some chia or hemp seeds and I'm done. Its tasty, easy to make, and easy to log.

    I eat the same breakfast M-Friday. I have a protein bar and a cup of coffee. I bring an apple and string cheese for a snack. I don't have to think. And most days I have the same lunch. I have lost 30 pounds. I vary dinners and meals on the weekends. For me, it's about being easy.

    I also eat the same breakfast M-F and sometimes on weekends. It just saves me a little logging time and I don't have to think much at 5:30 a when I am trying to wake up. I will also often eat the same lunch for 2-3 days in a row. Good thing I like my own cooking. :)

    I eat the same breakfast almost every day. Actually, I ate almost the same lunch and snacks at work, too (with a little variation). Dinner is usually the one meal that really varies, and even then it's pretty much protein, veggie, and one additional fun item. It is so much easier to plan meals this way. The weekends I somewhat stick to the same things, too, except when we're out and about and I'll have whatever makes sense for that meal.

    I often make a frittata or mini quiches and just eat one serving everyday. Sometimes I make something delicious and I replicate it the next day. It doesn't really matter.

    i do this as well. I made a frittata on Sunday and portion it out for the upcoming week.

    @myukniewicz - I'm on this cabbage (or brussels sprouts) and bacon frittata right now that's ridiculously good. I had to force myself to make a different one last night - I had mushrooms that would go bad!

    I have 3 go-to breakfasts....only becomes a problem when i get bored with an option. Then I find another alternative around the same calorie amount.

    I eat the same thing for dinner almost every night I eat alone. it's easy- and makes me happy. So- there you have it.

    you're fine as long it's not causing any physical issues.

    Live, die, repeat. Errr, no that's that Tom Cruise movie. Yes. I have a very small number of breakfasts I eat depending on what I've made or have for leftovers.

    Same breakfast everyday since starting on here. Oats with a little honey. Before that I often skipped. I now find I need it. The only day that's different is occasionally on the weekend when I sometimes have a bacon sandwich. :)
    My lunch is nearly always the same as well. A cheese sandwich with pickle.
    Dinner varies most times with veg so hopefully getting what I need. Feeling healthier than I have in a long while so it must be working :)
