Does anyone eat the same breakfast and lunch?

On Sundays I make and prepare all my breakfasts and lunches for the work week. So Monday through Friday I have the same thing for breakfast and lunch every day. It doesn't bother me at all and it's so convenient. It also keeps me from going out and spending money at lunch. I cook different dinners every night.

Pretty much this.

Hi
I quite often use various cereals that I premeasured and added the sweetener to for Breakfast. The Ones I use are 110 to 120 calories per serving, then I use UHT Milk from the Dollar Store that is 50 calories for a 4 ounce serving which is enough. Examples would be Rice Crispies, MultiGrain Cheerios, The Kelloggs All Bran is 90 calories per serving so I increase the serving size to be 110 to 120 calories. Then I eat a Banana every morning, I eat 2/3 of it before walking and then on my return I slice the rest into the cereal and I may usually have a Protein shake at 110 to 120 calories or a Quaker low sugar oatmeal at 120 calories per serving to round out the Breakfast. Being that I like convenience I have found that some of the Jimmy Dean Delights are 250 calories such as some with English muffins or Flatbread w/Egg, meat and cheese, Alternatives would be some of the Lean Cuisine or smart ones entrees that are 200 calories per container. Add in Vegetables, Fruit and a Light & Fit Greek Yogurt as Carbs & Proteins and You have a filling lunch.

I should add that I am eating in the 1700 to 2000 calorie range per day, possibly a little more now that I am working at maintaining for a couple of months before a final push to knock of the last 10 - 15 pounds. FWIW I have lost 220 pounds as of this morning on the 1700 calorie per day plan I use.

So short answer I do try to avoid having the same meal twice in one day to avoid burnout.

Good Luck

I brunch

I eat the same breakfast almost every day: two hard boiled eggs, one slice whole wheat bread, 1 tbsp. natural peanut butter.

Depends on how many eggs my chickens lay that day but when I indulge in brunch

I like trader joes hashbrowns baked served a top sautéed greens with a schmear of goat cheese, a dallop of harissa & topped with an egg over medium, salt & peppered

Also love hard boiled eggs mixed with spicy mustard with seeds, carrot shavings, & a lil olive oil, salt & pepper

Avocado halves baked filled with eggs topped with Parmesan cheese & red pepper flakes

Frittatas with any& all veggies & lots of greens = great leftovers (or u can make little frittata cups in a muffin tin & freeze then microwave)

Um ok now I'm gonna have breakfast for dinner

Every Sunday I prep my lunches for the week. It changes each week. This is also easier to log, as once you've weighed your meal once, you can just pre-log it on the other days.

no, I mix it up otherwise it gets boring and I end up skipping it, oats, weetabix, or whatever else is in the kitchen at the time

I'm horribly predictable. I eat almost the same thing for breakfast and lunch for months on end. It makes it easy to prep and stick to. It's just my personality that it doesn't get old, I know a lot of people couldn't do this. But when I don't like changing things up. Even when not logging, I have generally stick to the same list of things. We mix it up more at dinner, but still have a fairly small rotation.

Usually I have one of 3 things for breakfast:
1 scrambled egg w/green onion wrap
2 scrambled eggs with or without the green onion
1 or 2 egg omelet w/onion, little shredded cheese and whatever meat is leftover

All take less than 5 minutes to make so my mornings are quick.

I have a rotation of easy to make breakfast meals, lunch is pretty much the same thing, just different veggies and canned fish, and for dinner, I find a bulk cook whatever recipe interests me once or twice a week.

I've always been pretty samey.

Almost every day. keeps things simple.

Yes. I eat no breakfast and pretty much the same lunch every day for at least 5 days out of the week. I found something that works, I enjoy, and leaves room for dessert so I could care less about variety.

My breakfast, lunch and snacks even are pretty much the same every day. Dinner is different and I might have a different snack now and again. I find it easy and I don't get bored. I have an open diary if u want to look.

I eat the same breakfast and lunch and never get tired of them. I have eaten them for a couple of years. Breakfast is roasted vegetable egg white casserole topped with chicken verde and salsa. Lunch is a spicy chicken and vegetable Mexican soup.

During the work week I always eat the same things for Breakfast and Lunch. I don't track my food anymore so it's not because of that. As a Nurse it's hard to get away and eat when I'm hungry so I bring foods that are easy to eat on the run.
