Do you ever get stuck on eating one food over and over?

So I've been eating cottage cheese and grapes for breakfast. Or for lunch. Or maybe both. And for a snack. Even for dinner one night when my husband had to work late. lol I've eaten it enough now that I can practically eyeball my portion in the bowl that I always use. I've weighed it so many times that I really do know what it looks like. lol. (I still weigh afterwards just to be sure, and I'm surprisingly very close.)
Anyway, if I don't turn into a bowl of cottage cheese and grapes I'll be surprised.
At least it has some good calcium in it, which I have to be careful to get enough of since I don't drink milk much.
Anyone else do this -- eat the same thing over and over while it lasts?
Hmm... didn't think of freezing them. How are they when they thaw? Will they lose their crunchiness?
I eat every night a big bowl of frozen fruits
Also grapes
Its great, like candies or little ice creams Specially cantaloupes
I do this with 80% of all my fruits
The only "ugly" fruit is banana and avocado...but i dont thaw those either i make smoothies with them. But all the too much fruits get frozen here.
So i buy lots and lots of fruit specially when it is cheap and i freeze it all And eat it frozen through my yogurts and in the evening like i said as candies.
I like it frozen and when you do it frozen through your yogurt/cottage cheese, it will freeze up around the fruit pieces and give them a bit of a yogurt layer lol
i love that.
to each their own of course but for me it works great.
Sounds great! Adding "extra grapes" to my grocery list now.
whispers behind her hand in your ear...you can add them to booze too. They stay longer good also.....shhhh
looks around and wanders off.
You funny, I like you

I remember going through a period where I ate a Hostess pie and an ice cream sandwich for lunch every day. Super healthy! I was also size zero back then. :laugh:
My thing was tomato soup and these steam table melted cheese sandwiches from the gods they served in high school. An occasional switch up? I'd have Doritos too.
Another kick I went on when I worked near this deli in New York was tomato soup with cream cheese on marble rye with pickles. No, I was not pregnant. The funny thing is that I loathe vinegar, and all things fermented-like, but I went through this spell where I just loved pickles for a while.

BTW - grapes are so good this time of year!!
lol my snack popcorn
Each night with my frozen fruits.
the popcorn is a huge bowl and good for 300 calories but love it. For the last 11 months now every night after dinner and walking our little doggie i have my snack!
The fruits only vary with what i have frozen before, and sometimes i do ice with it sometimes nothing depends on how much "room" i have left.

Funny when i look over my food photos ( i make photos of every meal/food i make and eat and post them for some readers) my meals are lots of stir fry and popcorn and fruit...rofl.

Whatever is in season. This time of the year it is squash, apples. peaches, grapes, tomatoes and potatoes. Sometime in December/Jan it will be lots of oranges, bananas and soups and root stock like turnips and rutabaga. Spring is usually berries bananas and varieties of lettuce.
I eat cereal every morning with whatever fruit is in season and some almonds and whole milk. I have some protein in the for of chicken pork or beef almost every day.
So I guess the things I eat repeat a lot but there are so many ways to prepare things that no two meals are every exactly the same. Well except for work lunch which is usually a smaller portion of whatever I had for dinner the night before.0 -
Yep. I cook for one, and recipes usually have a minimum of four servings, so ...
Plus, there's fig season. I love fresh figs and good ones are only available for a short period of time.0 -
yes esp seasonal stuff - watermelon was almost daily but I had other foods too. sometimes I get on an oatmeal/greek yogurt 'kick' - usually eggs/egg white in some form or fashion is daily for 1-2 meals..if I make a recipe I often it it each meal (other than maybe breakfast) til it's gone. usuallyonly lasts 2-4 days for me though but grapes in season, good, and on sale then I'd be eating those since I like them and probably freezing some for later to eat frozen0

Yes, I pretty much always rotate the same few things. I like it. I'm experimenting with some new concoctions now but otherwise, PB2, ground turkey, zucchini, squash, chipotle hot sauce, popcorn, greek yogurt, shirataki noodles, laughing cow cheese, deli turkey, spinach....those are my go-tos.0

I'm impatiently waiting for figs and persimmons to come into season. Watch out world

I eat cottage cheese all the freaking time. It's one of few protein foods that I like. Hasn't hurt me yet!
I eat berries and granola almost daily. Once in a while I get sick of them and take a break for a week, but most days, berries are in my food diary. They're so sweet and I love sweetness, so what the heck.
I don't think of it as stuck, but as eating what I like to eat. 0 -
Like 5 or 6 foods, but yeah.0

I've been eating protein-zoats twice a day for the last week since I got my myoatmeal.com order lol0

I eat porridge every morning.Then at lunch I have a toasted bagel with cold meat and a large orange.Boring or not I like the routine of it and can judge exactly how much I can eat.0

I eat pretty much the same sort of food each day :]
It doesn't really matter as long as you have a deficit. I guess it wouldn't hurt to jazz it up every now and again just for a change! Your body doesn't mind eitherway though!0 -
Not usually. I mean, I eat about the same thing for lunch most.days, but that is purely for my convenience. My treats don't change much though! And one of my favorite desserts has always been my mom's "pink cloud"... Which is cool whip, cottage cheese, fruit cocktail, and black cherry jello mix. My favorite fruit in it was always the grapes, so I understand pretty precisely what you mean!
Now, with music... I have listened to the same song for over an hour before. But I play guitar, and I find it easy to obsess over the details.0 -

I eat mostly the same foods every morning and lunchtime! It works for me!

I eat bacon and eggs fairly often. I don't think I've ever heard anyone say they're "so sick of that combo".
I also eat similar things for dinner very often - it's a piece of meat with a vegetable mash. I just vary the vegetables to get different nutrients - carrots, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, beets etc.0
