Re: People Who Eat the Same Meal Every Day
#42One of the enjoyable things about surfing is when you find there are other people like you. Almost every day since the mid-80's, I have what I call a Tarnower lunch: half a can of pineapple chunks, half a can of mandarin oranges, a dollop of cottage cheese and a few walnut pieces, along with a small bran muffin. Tastes fine, not too bad nutritionally, and no congnitive overhead.
Sounds like a ton of sugar and carbs to me with barely any protein...

How do you know that you're getting enough of all the different micronutrients? Humans can eat a deficient diet for a long time and not notice serious side effects, so I'm wondering if you have some kind of good way of figuring out whether the different micronutrient quotas are fulfilled properly.
I do something similar and after 7 years I discovered I was severely Vitimin D deficient. Thanks to an article that was posted recently about UV not penetrating glass.
Do you experience symptoms of Vitamin D deficiency?

#45My view on food is relatively simple: Life is way too short for boring food. I could not imagine eating the same thing every day. That's not to say I eat a completely new-to-me meal every day. When I was single, I would cook and then eat the same meal 3-4 days in a row, but I would change it up every week. Now, what we (my girlfriend and I) usually do is cook and bake on Sundays, then freeze about half and eat the re…
> Life is way too short for boring food
I think it's not that life is way too short, but that you enjoy new food. For me, sometimes the food decision tree feels like too much time lost to food while other more interesting tasks could be done, and then I choose a tuna/chicken salad and get over with it.

#46Knew a couple, had a stack of frozen dinners delivered every week, put them in a standup freezer. Whoever got home first had to take the top two dinners, put them in the oven for dinner. No picking thru the stack; no arguing over who got what. Does that count as 'the same dinner every day'?
Frozen food sounds like poverty dinner.
Neither one wanted to cook; they didn't like going out all the time.

#47Reminds me of "The Norwegian art of the packed lunch, Matpakke - Most Boring Lunch in the world - Ever?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlNmeVK_zLg
BBC also ran an article not too long ago about this... I wouldn't mind it once in a while!

#48'Zerocarb' here. I don't insist on eating the exact same thing, but what I eat is quite limited - meat, animal fat, salt and water.
I started this because of health issues, but I grew to like the simplicity of it as well. I can eat one large meal and not feel hungry or exhausted the whole day, and I can easily find adequate food without being fussy in most environments. For example, McDonalds burger patties are 100% beef.

Do you have a blog post or something that goes into detail about your routine? It sounds interesting.
I don't have it posted, but it isn't that complex, so I can give a quick rundown here: Breakfast - 2 eggs, scrambled with generous amounts of mushrooms and spinach, and a little cheese tossed in. Lunch - Veggie mix that I chop up all together every few days - green peppers, pasilla peppers, green onion, yellow onions, eggplant, jicama, cauliflower, and whatever other root veggies looked good at the store - turnips, r…
I'm not sure about the fish sauce or coconut milk but you need some fat in there to allow the nutrients from all the plants to be carried into the body. You might consider throwing an ounce or two of chicken in there. Otherwise most of it goes to waste.

#50I like routines, and I am the type of person that becomes a "regular" at various businesses. But, food is one area of my life where I love to explore. There are so many different foods and cultures in the world which express their history in some way through food, to be so bland and banal as to eat the same thing every day. I do almost the same thing every day, I could set my clock by my lifestyle, but when it is time for a meal I always seek variety.
But I don't judge those who do this, because I understand the relaxation of decision points, the ease of calorie consciousness and weight management, and the ability to balance nutrition that comes with a standard meal.
