I used to eat the same food every day and ended up with hemorrhoids. Passing stool was a slow, painful, bloody process every time. It took years to recover from that.
I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
Sounds like you were low on fibre
What in gods name did you eat?
frozen pizza
Aah yes, the classic mistake of eating it straight out of the freezer
That’ll do it
If you don’t eat a balanced diet that will do that, but you can eat balanced whilst eating three different balanced meals everyday
Chicken and rice will never not hit for me. I have been blessed.
Listen.
When I just wake up I need sustenance but my motor skills are as low as my brain fog is high. I -am- however functional enough to press the “make coffee button” and slap a spoon in a container of yogurt.
Yogurt and decaf* coffee are nice, but not enough to keep my 100+KG of pure overthinking going for long. Luckily, while sipping on my coffee I can knead dough, so by lunchtime I should have fresh bread. (or stale bread from the day before)** What goes on the bread has been decided mostly in my youth, has been altered when I moved on my own, and these days only gets tweaked… it works, why fuck with it.
Dinner has been planned over the weekend so when evening starts and my brain is all cooked out, but my motor skills are at its peak, cooking up some pasta/rice/potato dish with veggies should be easy. Anything more involved is for occasions where I have time to be invested in cooking. On weekends I cook bulk for the days where I don’t function, so my freezer is stuffed with all sort of 1 pan dishes.
Within these variables I eat fairly varied, but you really don’t want to be around when I am forced to change them on short notice. EG; when I forgot to get yoghurt, it might take me untill mid afternoon untill ive recovered ^^"
it took me about 15 years to work this system out, but by george I have finally mastered eating 3 meals a day.
*Don’t give me regular, apocalypses have been started over less.
**Im working on baguette dough so I can make it the day before so i can portion better and don’t have to knead in the morning)
I’ll get hung up on a certain food for like six months or so. Then one, I’m like nope that’s enough and find something new.
Right now it’s nachos with everything. But I’m coming to the end of them I think.
Previous hang-ups cheese steaks, burritos, Chinese, Rubens, pizza.
I’m this way too. Eventually the thing starts to taste bad. Or I almost resent that I want it so it’s not the same lol then we switch it up
I envy your salt tolerance
I feel like i have a basic rotation of foods i can make to feed myself that consists of mostly pasta/rice/potatoes/bread+whatever ingredients i happen to have usually mixed into a homogeneous mass of good tasting food(except with bread its all the stuff stewed and put on top of the bread).
On top of that i have a fixation on some type of food i try to master and will do versions of quite often depending on how complex it is to make. Currently the fixation has been east asian rice dishes(mostly different types of fried rice) previously it has been stuff like burritos, quiches, caesar salad
Okay wait seriously? 7+ years of PB&J for lunch and y’all are telling me that’s not normal?
Who cares if it’s normal? Your choice to eat a PBJ every day hurts absolutely nobody and if anyone judges you for it I’ll smack them in the bicep with a rolled-up newspaper.
I used to be way more limited and improved over time, but there are still tistic traces.
I am usually willing to experiment with something new, but once I find which variant of it I like most, I’ll almost never eat any other variant. I’ll make specific meals the exact same way, order the exact same thing at restaurants, and be way happier for it. I also cycle through the same meals over the span of a week for most of them. I eat the same healthyish cereal every day, because while I know cereal isn’t healthy, I hate healthy alternatives and how inconvenient they are for a minor meal. I absolutely hate certain mouthfeels or taste combinations. I will always eat onion rings from any restaurant that has them.
I basically expanded my palette by redirecting my autism rather than fighting it. I blacklist instead of whitelist, while creating a set of principles that guide my behavior. I convince my autism to favor healthy foods and variety, using the ridged thinking to combat the ridged thinking.
Blow my fuckin brains out.
Right? I can’t even meal prep because I can’t even eat the same food more than 2 days in a row. I wish I could for my health and easier cooking, less thinking about food, but I can’t do it. I’d jump off a cliff in like a week.
If it’s dollar store ramen and tap water, that might not be autism. If so I’ve had what you have. It’s called poverty.
FYI, that’s super unhealthy.
🤓
It kind of depends on the food, how healthy it is, and if they are making sure they are adding the proper nutrients and vitamins.
It is totally possible to eat the same meals everyday and be completely healthy as long as you keep track of those things.
IK
Depression + Weed + Same food day after day = It’s fine.
So what’s on the menu? I’m looking for a new meal to eat till I literally never want to think about it again.
Ham and cheese sandwich, 1 baguette a day, very easy prep
Chirashi bowl!
Heyo, not OP, but have been doing the same for almost a year now.
I mealprep for four days, due to the size of my pot and bowls.
Breakfast
Ingredients
(4 portions)
- 400g Tofu
- (High-protein) soy-milk
- Salt, Pepper, Paprika-Powder, Curry-Powder, Chili-Flakes, Herbs
- 8 Slices of whole-grain bread
- Margarine
- Mustard
Mealprep
Crumbled Tofu. I just crumble 400g of tofu in a bowl, add salt, pepper, curry-powder, paprika-powder, chili flakes, and some pre-chopped and dried herbs. I add about 4 shots of soy-milk, mix everything and put it in a glass with the lid on. (I eyeball the amount of spices. Maybe start making one portion (100g Tofu for me) and see how you like the spices. As starting point paprika- and curry-powder are the same amount, as are chili-flakes and herbs.) The original recipe used only cumin, salt and pepper, so just play around till you find something that tastes good.
Heating it up
Relatively simple: Just put margarine and mustard on 2 slices of bread. Put a quarter of the prepared Tofu in a pan. I add another shot of soy-milk to make it stickier. Fry the Tofu and spread it on the Bread.
Dinner
Ingredients
(for 4 portions)
- 2 onions
- 600g of brown rice
- about 180g of vegan ground-meat (depends on package size)
- Chili-flakes, Pepper, Herbs
- enough bullion-powder for 3-4 liters, or to taste
- some (sesame-)oil
- (20g of creatine)
Mealprep
Chop the onions, add a bit of oil to a large pot, add the onions, vegan ground-meat, pepper, herbs and chili-flakes. Fry it until the onions are glassy. Add the rice, about 1.8 Liters of water, bullion-powder and creatine. Let it cook with a lid until all the water is soaked into the rice. Be careful at the end to not burn the rice. Divide the mushy rice into 4 containers and put them in the fridge. There should be a bit of space left in the container for the rice to rise, otherwise the water will squeeze out and turn the rice on the bottom to mush.
Heating it up
If your first meal is after preparation, just eat it, while its warm. Otherwise get a large pan, put some oil in it and fry the rice until its hot. I usually fill the container with warm water to also heat it up. That way I don’t have to clean an extra plate. (My containers are made from glass, but can withstand a big heat-difference, do not do, if not sure.)
Lunch
Yea, idk. I should probably eat lunch, but it’s extra work. If anyone knows something easy, preferably with lentils, beans or peas, let me know.
Meal-sizes
At some point I calculated the macros I need and it roughly fits. You should probably do the same. Also I take a multi-vitamin/mineral since I don’t have the nerve to prepare veggies.
credit to you for typing this up. as a tofu enjoyer, I’m gonna pass on tofu toast
real
Its gud
As a person who gets tired of the same food very frequently this sounds pretty good
It’s all fun and games till you get health problems. I should eat something else, but I get super nervous whenever someone suggests I eat a new food. I do cook some potatoes once a month tho.
if I had a star trek replicator for food I could probably eat the same burrito every day for the rest of my life tbh
Mood
fuckin love potatoes
You can maybe diversify a bit by adding other stuff while leaving the base the same.
E.g. my go to is oat meal. But you can add apples, bananas, nuts, strawberries, seeds, etc. This should combat the one dimensionality of that lifestyle a bit. At least I hope so, lol.
yummers
