eating the same foods everyday

I do!

Basically I have a turkey wrap for lunch, eat half when I make it and half when I get to work at 2pm with some hummus and crackers. For dinner it's either a veggie packed salad with 5oz chicken, or a portion of something I slow cooked on my days off. Snacks are generally the same, usually a nature valley granola bar, sugar snap peas and crackers. I also have a sugar free jello mousse for dessert. I pretty much eat this everyday and it brings me in around 1300 calories

It certainly makes logging easier if you tend to stick to the same foods.

I've always eaten a fairly narrow range of foods, whether I was trying to lose weight or not. Some would find that super-boring and so they wouldn't be able to stick with it. If you are used to eating a wide variety of foods, I would suggest that you continue to do so.

Only make dietary changes that you are willing to continue after you've lost weight. If you completely change your way of eating to lose weight and then go back to your old way after the "diet" is over, it's more likely that you will regain the weight you lost plus more.

Personally, I eat a Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwich every morning, at least one Lean Cuisine-ish meal, and either another Lean Cuisine or salad (with bunches of variable ingredients) or oatmeal. I fill any leftover calories with snacks like 20g of potato chips, small pieces of chocolate, or granola/fiber bars. I also budget about 150 calories per day for drink calories like tea with one packet of sugar, ice water with a splash of juice, or a packet of hot chocolate.

What I eat works for me because I'll stick with it and I'm losing weight. Believe it or not, this is a huge improvement nutritionally for me over the way I used to eat.

I eat 2 eggs for breakfast every morning. Sometimes i will switch it up and make a 2 egg omelette. I have tuna salad with tomato and avacado for lunch, and every once in a while i will turn it into a taco. I switch up my dinners and try to always have something dinner, but it's basically a protein and a veggie.

I'll go months eating the same 5 meals for dinner. Then go months eating completely different.

Cottage cheese and a boiled egg for breakfast. I sometimes add a piece of toast. I can't seem to live without celery. Its my go to snack and I dip it in Lite Zesty Italian dressing.

I eat the same over and over but have done that all of my life.

It was your celery remark that caught my attention. At work last week I said celery now taste like candy and on said that may have been the first time that remark was ever made. While I do not dip it I eat it after every meal that I eat at home.

I have the same breakfast, lunch and snacks everyday. Dinner is always different

I have some staples I eat very often because I find them versatile; mainly yogurt, eggs, and cottage cheese.

I also have to start my day with a bar of some sort (usually a protein bar) and a diet coke. The day feels all wrong if I don't.

Just about everything else I change up fairly often. I like variety.

Yes. About 75% of my diet is made up of the same foods/recipes/meals each week. One less thing to worry about.

Only eat the same breakfast every day but lunch and dinner changes, I cook something different each day but then it gets repeated on a fortnightly basis...
I would get bored if I didn't change my menu alot.

I usually eat the same things for breakfast and lunch 5 days a week. It's convenient and it prevents me from over eating. I get variety from dinner and snacks (and also the weekends).

There are tons of people where I work who are always over eating at lunch while complaining about how hard it is to lose weight. I find that just ordering the same turkey wrap and soup every day for lunch makes sticking to my calorie/macro goals much easier. Otherwise I end up rationalizing ordering the 12 inch cheese steak or something that makes hitting my calorie/macro goals much harder.

food is just fuel, no need for much variety..

I have smoothies for breakfast all summer long but switch to eggs and veggies or other warm breakfasts when mornings become cold. I often have sandwiches for lunch. I enjoy cooking immensely, and dinner is the meal that gets the most variety.

I do- I mean, there is a list of probably 15-20 foods that I continuously eat.

Breakfast is usually eggs or a protein bar

Lunch is usually a salad with some sort of protein

Supper doesn't vary much- one of my faux meat products and a veggie and starch.

BORING. But keeps me on track.
