@mspatmac  If you put them all together it's sort of a cousin to  seafood chowder.

I could never do that.  The only thing that is the same every day is my coffee.  If I love something and eat it all the time I

start disliking it.  The only exception might be chocolate but even that is in a different form.  Variety and change is everything to me.

I do! I'm a long time type 1 diabetic. When I find a meal or something that's good and doesn't raise my blood sugar I eat it a lot. My diet is very boring (to the average person). Same old, same old.

I saw that about Victoria Beckham.  If calories didn't matter, yes I could eat the same thing every day!  I would be happy eating some sort of pasta with red sauce every day with a salad and some Italian bread!  Or a hamburger with some nice crunchy fries and cole slaw.

I ate the same breakfast every day for the 15 years before retiring. Egg whites, yogurt, and 1 turkey sausage.  I made eggs and turkey sausage for 5 days on Sundays and put it into 5 small containers. I'd warm it up in the microwave at work. I ate yogurt mid-morning.

Lunch usually was a salad or wrap, something I could eat in my office.

Dinner was not the same every day.

Only if it was pizza!

Yes, I eat practically the same food everyday with just a little bit of variation in the seasoning/spices. But all the basic food items remain the same. My system gets really messed up when I go out to eat which I do rarely.

My husband could and more like that but certain foods do not agree with him any more. He has lots of health issues and just does not agree with his system.    I do some of that but I like a variety too.   We pretty much repeat meals.

I would rather eat at home and not into eating out any more.

I think it might be a habit of thin people who diligently control their weight.  My BFF is 75, she's been a model thin size 2/4 for the 40 years I have known her.  She eats the same 3 meals every day, even on vacations.  Even if she's in a great restaurant.  Dry whole wheat toast and 2 boiled eggs for breakfast and a huge green salad with grilled fish or grilled chicken breast for lunch and again at dinner.   At weddings, she'll eat the salad and some veggies.  I have another friend who eats similarly but not as restrictive,  she eats just a handful of different foods but she eats a lot of fruit during the day.

I haven't read this whole thread yet, but I did EXACTLY THIS when I was losing 100 VERY UNHAPPY POUNDS in 2013.

If you are interested, Google "Eat Like A Bear". This program, which I have just run across within the last couple weeks, espouses and expands upon what I was doing then.

Although I have continued to eat One Meal A Day (OMAD) since my weight loss, I had gotten fairly sloppy about the FOODS I was eating during the pandemic, although I never gained any weight back.

So I've done a "re-start" by eliminating grain, and YEP, I can already feel the difference.

I eat a huge portion of low carb green veggies, protein (often eggs and egg whites), olive oil, unsalted nuts, and dark berries. EVERY DAY, either as a cold salad or a stir fry.

In this current life change, I've added a tablespoon or two of a good quality raw sauerkraut and a couple ounces of super sharp aged Cheddar, and a cup of yoghurt as pre-and pro- biotics.

If I lose a few pounds doing this, GREAT, but if I DON'T LOSE ANYTHING, but FEEL BETTER, ALL GOOD.
