does anyone here eat the same meal or snack every day?

Julia-Henry · March 2012

DH and I were talking.. I always have the same thing for breakfast (sandwich thin, egg and slice of low-fat cheddar). In fact, I get a little cranky if I can't have it. We used to know a guy who ate the exact same thing every single day (ex, dinner was always a baked chicken breast, small potato and broccoli).

Anyway, if you do eat the same (or almost the same) meal or snack every day, what do you eat?

I'm asking because I figure it's probably pretty healthy and it must taste good enough for you to keep going back for more Big Smile

Oats with soy milk, almond butter and fruit. It's the only think that diesnt leave me hungry after 1/2 hr

feinicstine · March 2012

I repeat a lot during the work week.

Breakfast is always oatmeal with some sort of fruit. I always have a banana at 9:30. I always have an apple with lunch. My afternoon snack is always yogurt and almonds. Sometimes there's a granola bar in there. I eat the same salad for lunch 3 times a week (romaine lettuce, baby carrots, red onion, mushroom, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, walnuts and raspberry vinaigrette) and the other two are usually crock pot left overs.

My husband always eats a bowl of cereal for breakfast. He always has a banana for snack, a can of chicken noodle soup and an apple for lunch, and either a protein bar or another bowl of cereal after work.

So yeah, there's a LOT of repeats in our house.

Plain Oatmeal with a little brown sugar and a slice of whole grain bread with natural peanut butter for breakfast. Sometimes I'll have Kashi cereal instead of oatmeal. On the weekends, DH will sometimes make pancakes, waffles, eggs.

I don't think I could do this for any meal besides breakfast. That would be seriously boring.

Mrs Acorn Blue · March 2012

My breakfast of late is some sort of homemade quick bread, a mini-baby bel and fruit. I usually have the same snacks at work because they are quick and easy to do. Lunch at home is some variation of the same and we have similar dinners because DH can be a picky eater.

I eat a chobani cup every weekday morning at work. I change up the flavors (rotating between blood orange, pineapple and mango).

I would go crazy eating the exact same meals every day. I need variety!

I eat a Chobani every morning too! Usually orange...so delicious.

I tend to eat the same thing every morning for a while til I burn out on it. For a few months last summer, it was strawberries, soy milk, and granola every morning. One day I just couldn't eat it anymore. I was hungry, but I couldn't make myself eat it.

I started eating a new salad this week and I think I'll burn out on it tomorrow. It's 2 c spinach, 1 c strawberries, 1/4 c chopped walnuts, tossed in lemon juice, lime juice, and walnut oil. Tasty and healthy but there's only so much spinach I can eat in a week (damn you Costco-sized tub of spinach).

I've read that it's good to get variety rather than eating the same thing every day, because it ensures you get a variety of nutrients.

psyri · March 2012

I eat the same thing for breakfast every day. Some kind of regular or Greek yogurt, sometimes mixed with nuts, dried fruit, honey (if it is plain yogurt), or granola.

I will eat the same snack for a week or til the snack runs out. Carrots and hummus, pita chips or flax chips with hummus, trail mix, chocolate milk cartons (Hi. I am 5 years old), small portions of cheese, whatever fresh fruit is on hand, etc. I eat a banana just about every day.

BQBride · March 2012

My go to breakfasts are: 1) cold oatmeal with fruit & nuts, or 2) an egg over-easy with one vegetarian sausage and some brown rice.

Lunches: 1) salad w/walnuts, dried cranberries, gorgonzola & balsamic, or 2) tomato soup and grilled cheese.

I'd say I eat at least one of those meals every day.

BridgetMc · March 2012

Every weekday I eat the same thing:

smoothie for breakfast (plain yogurt, protein powder, berries, chia seeds)

a whole wheat bagel

fruit (varies; whatever is in season) and almonds

a hard-boiled egg or marinated roasted tofu

a banana with peanut butter

lettuce (usually spinach) with feta

vegetables (varies, but usually sugar snap peas) with hummus

cottage cheese or a small dessert

And then dinner varies.

Sadlebred · March 2012

I eat whole wheat crackers almost every afternoon for a snack. I love to munch and can munch on about 25 of them for 200 calories and 10 minutes of grazing.

AGsWife · March 2012

I generally eat the same thing during the work week, since my schedule is hectic and planning makes it easier :

Breakfast: bagel thin with peanut butter and strawberries

Lunch: some type of sandwich (turkey, grilled chicken, peanut butter and jelly - depends on my mood) on light bread or bagel thin, carrots, small salad, a piece of fruit, a WhoNu cookie (I need something sweet after a meal)

Snack: Cliff kids Z bar

Dinner: some kind of chicken (I usually prepare or at least prep the meat on Sunday), salad, veggie

Snack: chocolate vita top with strawberries and cool whip, low fat ice cream or ice pop, or airpopped popcorn

During the weekends, because my schedule is more open, I switch things up.

DallasBride4/05 · March 2012

I repeat on workdays, my DH packs my lunch, so I keep it simple:

breakfast - plain oatmeal w/ flax, blueberries, walnuts

lunch - carrots w/hummus, two snack squares of cheese, sunburst yellow tomatoes - will add a protein bar if needed

snack 1 - greek yogurt (various flavors of fage or chobani)

snack 2 - gala apple and almonds

Dinner is horrible lately, I have not been planning - so lots of takeout, so I do get some variety.

taratru · March 2012

During the week, I almost always have Greek yogurt with a Kashi bar crumbled in it for breakfast, and a turkey on sandwich thin/string cheese and cracker lunch. I do it for convenience sake.

On the weekends, I almost always have egg whites on toast for breakfast because I love them with my coffee. Smile

Labrnr · March 2012

I eat a lot of the same foods everyday during the weekdays, except dinner.

B- oatmeal or granola w/added pumpkin, chia, flax, hemp seeds, and nuts. with either coconut or almond milk

S1- is always a banana w/ almond butter w/added pumpkin, chia, flax, hemp seeds, and nuts, and cocao beans.

L: salad or wrap, or left over dinner from night before

S2: fruit( fruit may vary) w/ trail mix

varies

S3- always a smoothie, the fruit may change but always spinach, almond milk, oj.

I know these foods are packed with a lot of minerals and vitamins that my body needs, plus it makes it a lot easier to shop and prepare (almost like second nature). I hardly ever get bored (never with the snacks) but if I get bored of oatmeal for breakfast I eat granola for a while, then switch back to oatmeal when I get bored of that.

JoNi2010 · March 2012

On work days I am pretty regimented, maybe because I'm too lazy to think of new healthy options!

For the past few years, breakfast was always a banana with natural PB. I've recently added some OJ.

For snack, some kind of granola, either homemade from the previous weekend or store-bought if weekend was busy.

For lunch, it's always a spinach salad with cheese and raisins (no dressing). Recently, to add more protein, I've substituted the raisins for a hard-boiled egg. Then whatever fruit is on sale - grapes, clementines, etc.

DH cannot eat the same thing daily so dinner and weekend meals with him is always different!

abvernon · March 2012

I have steel cut oatmeal or a green smoothie for breakfast during the week. As for weekdays, we make bigger vreakfasts (pancakes, eggs, fruit, etc.). The only thing that varies for me is the lunches and dinners. Snacks are the same-fruit, veggie, or yogurt.

DH has cereal for breakfast during the week, yogurt for am snack, lunch varies, some sort of veggie for pm snack and dinner varies.

gncorman · March 2012

I have been eating oatmeal with fruit for breakfast for some time now. I find it keeps me satisfied the longest. On Sundays, DH cooks eggs, toast, bacon, etc. I need to get into a routine with lunch as I am not prepared and usually that means take out. For snacks, apple, banana, cheese, and pretzels.

wildfloweragain · March 2012

Chobani and flax seeds for pretty much every lunch.

Sometimes I go a stretch of cucumbers and hummus for lunches instead.

Breakfasts are either: 2 poached eggs if I'm being good or Kelloggs Chocolatey Delight if I'm not (the cereal isn't that bad but I need 3 servings to make me full enough for the morning.

I normally have a cheese stick and some chocolate almonds for 3pm snack.

Dinners vary.

beebe918 · March 2012

I have a grilled chicken salad for lunch every day. It's a mix of spinach and romaine, onions, carrots, chicken and some sort of fat free dressing.

does anyone here eat the same meal or snack every day?
