Eating the same thing every day

I would lose my mind by the 3rd day.

I know a LOT of people do this. They prep lunch and dinners for every night that week on Sunday but I just can't. I can't eat the same thing every day. I might eat yogurt every day for breakfast but thats about as routine as I get - and I even mix that up with flavors, toppings, etc, lol. I have lunch meals that I rotate and a huge list of dinners that I rotate. I "meal plan" in the sense that I plan what is for each meal at the beginning of each week but it is different each day!

I suppose it would be "easier" to eat the same stuff every day but I would lose my mind.

I am guilty of this. Not every day but I will definitely eat the same thing 3 or 4x a week easily. My brunch is either cereal, eggs and bacon or waffles (without fail, one of those three and don't judge me! lol) I don't do lunch since I eat breakfast so late, dinner is ALMOST ALWAYS chicken, like 5 nights a week chicken. Its one of the only meats I care to eat. Usually with rice or potatoes and some sort of veggie or beans .... if it works for you, work it.

I am a variety queen. That being said, I do get comfort from the same breakfast many days in a row. Then suddenly I'm sick of it. I watch for signs of boredom then I change it up.

I also typically have last night's dinner for lunch. I might change it up by putting it with a salad or in a wrap.

I could never do it but to each their own, lol. I plan my meals around what I want to eat... that way I'm more satisfied and less likely to try to find satisfaction in cookies or chocolate.

The only meal that I repeat in a week would be breakfast: Egg white and cheese on a english muffin or 2 pkg of quaker instant peaches and cream oatmeal....and some fruit. The exception is if I have a lot of leftovers

If there are leftovers I will often eat these for the following lunch

I tend to eat the same sort of thing, but make variations on it. like, I have a smoothie for breakfast every morning, but sometimes it's strawberry banana, sometimes mixed blueberries/raspberries/blackberries and banana, sometimes mango and banana, sometimes strawberry, mango and banana. I like making homemade oatmeal too because there's so many different toppings you can put on it. and dinners are generally vegetables, but different kinds depending what's on sale, or different sauces or seasonings to change up the flavour.

Yep, I pretty much eat the same foods day in and day out. I have 2 food choices for breakfast and I have a large salad for lunch or dinner or roasted vegetables vs stir fry. I may add chicken or ham a few times to mix things up. Also switch out my spices so it does not taste exactly the same each time.

I do that with my breakfast. Save for the occasional breakfast out, I alternate between two breakfast options. Keeping my breakfasts consistent helps a lot with my diabetes. Because of all the fun stuff that occurs during the early-morning hours (Dawn Phenomenon, increased insulin resistance due to being sedentary for 9+ hours) breakfast is often one of my hardest meals to control BG-wise. By sticking to a consistent breakfast for the past year, I had ample time to experiment with how I need to approach taking my insulin for the meal, and that ends up helping to control the post-breakfast BG spike (which ultimately lets me tackle the rest of the day without feeling like pure crap from a high or low BG).

For lunch and dinner, I tend to stick to similar options. It might be something like grilled chicken/fish with varying vegetables, an egg and cottage cheese omelet with varying stuffing, or a salad with different toppings, but there is a lot more variety compared to breakfast (I'm not eating the same lunch/dinner every day for a year). I tend to be the most varied with my snacks, but I often use snacks as a way to meet macros that I might be struggling to meet from my 3 meals.

I eat the same things all the time. Maybe a different lunch on Monday and Friday, something different for dinner on Saturday. Doesn't bother me.
