Hello! How are you doing? I’m doing A-okay!! My hip was a little tight yesterday, but I’m not sore at all after the LA Marathon. That either means my body is used to the torture of running long OR just like my tiny black heart my muscles don’t feel anything either…
Morning apple with coffee before a short shake out run. I’m still going to take it easy for a few days and get back to longer running this weekend. I still have a full marathon next month I need to be in shape to RUN!
And I’ve got some great news to share…
I found these 1/2 cup peanut butter cups at the 99 cent store! I think this means 1/2 cup is a serving of PB now!!!
Let’s talk about what I DON’T need in my diet and you tell me if you need it in yours…
Variety.
I don’t need variety in what I eat at all. I can eat the same thing for breakfast. lunch and DINNER every day and be happy. I know a lot of people eat the same thing for breakfast every day, but usually change it up for lunch and dinner. Nope. Not me. I am perfect happy to eat the same thing all the time.
I could live off of eggs, almond butter, sriracha, tortillas, MASSIVE salads, watermelon, chicken, nuts and rice.
At least those are the staples of my diet right now. I change it up a few times a year but even when I switch out one or two things it stays that way for months. Anyone else??
Last night I made a pork roast in the crockpot because Ben is in town and I am trying to be a good lil peep and make food he likes. It was good, but I would rather have eggs or chicken as my protein. I wasn’t really feeling it, but I did love the roasted broccoli.
I think I’ll go back to my regularly scheduled programming of salads and Spark today.
I finally realized it’s best to order a million boxes of Spark at once so I don’t have to pay extra for shipping multiple orders a month! Hello Monica.
this post/comments made me feel so normal! i totally eat the same things ALL the time, and don’t mind it one bit. probably why i’m single and always will be…ha.
Thank God, I thought I was the only one! My flatmate looks at me like I’m insane when twice a month I make a huge batch of chili in my slow cooker, and then proceed to eat almost nothing else for lunch and dinner for a week… 😀 And I’m not sure I’ve eaten anything except whole wheat rye bread with veggies and peanut butter oatmeal for breakfast in like a year. Whoops.
I am perfectly happy eating the same thing over and over and over again!
My morning meal is always the same (I make it the night before and tote it to work with me and munch as soon as I hit the desk).
Lunch & dinner is usually whatever I make a bunch of on Sunday for the week. I just don’t have the time, or energy to cook when I get home, so it’s whatever I can find in the fridge. I try and make a bunch of food on Sunday to last me most of the week.
Finally, someone else! All my friends think I’m a total weirdo because I can eat the same thing all the time. Eggs, overnight oats, anything that involves spirilized sweet potato and I’m pretty happy.
I guess I am not as “weird” as I thought I was. I like eating the same things for breakfast everyday and lunch/dinner. Of course each meal is not the same, but I am cheap and I am on a tight budget just graduated from college and starting in the real world. So I am trying to make sure I can get healthy foods and get them at a good price and that means buying in bulk at times.
Do you think that you would eat the same thing everyday for a year without an issue?
i like a mix of both. breakfast and lunch can be the same thing everyday but dinner needs to be different…but i can switch between 3 or 4 of the same dinner options all the time and be happy (hello turkey burger!). and you mean to tell me 1/2 c isnt already a serving size for peanut butter…wait, i think ive been eating too much PB 😛 lol
I eat the same thing all the time at home, just mix it up when I eat out.
i have some staples in my diet that i eat almost every day, but i like to throw in some variety with toppings, spices, and condiments. i mostly stick to a routine b/c it just makes planning so much easier, and if it ain’t broke…
I don’t need variety at all.
I usually have two options to go for with each meal. One savory/spicy and one sweet.
And really pizza 3x a day every day would work too 🙂
Same. 😉
I find I tend to eat the same things for months at a time and then all of a sudden I WANT something different….I will totally crave a change for about a week and then go back to the usual.
Weird? Hmm whatev.
I definitely eat the same thing all the time. The only time I switch it up is if seasonal foods are on sale/not on sale. I usually try to buy what’s in season to save some monies.
I need just a teensy bit of variety; but I def don’t need complicated things! I don’t want to spend 30 minutes gently boiling some wack ass stuff I had to ask three different people at the store to find. I just like quick, easy to grab goodies.
I need to get this PB!!

It’s funny that you wrote about this because a friend and I LITERALLY are talking about how we could eat the same 5-10 foods in a week. Except I have a waffle obligation on sunday mornings I hate and need to get out of – check out the blog 🙂
Why would you hate a waffle tradition?! I love that idea!
I feel like I eat the same 2 breakfasts every single day, so maybe I could branch out and have a different breakfast here and there. I would also like to try new fruits and veggies, there are so many out there and I tend to stay with the same handful each time I shop.
I eat the same thing ALL the time. I’ve had the same breakfast for well over a year, make the same post-workout shake, and lately have been having the same baked chicken and veggies for dinner. I’ll swap things out every now and then, but when I find something I like I could eat it all day (and do)!
I can definitely eat the same thing all the time – but every month or three I change what that same thing is. Counts, right? 😀
Hey! I could eat the same thing for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner…… as long as it is PIZZA! Anything else, not so much. But on the realz, what brand of tortillas do you buy? I feel like the ones I get are not that healthy, and when I get whole wheat they just fall apart. Thanks!
Ha I could totally eat the same things every day and very rarely care!
I need variety. I get bored super easily. The problem is needing variety means having to cook more. I love to cook, I hate doing dishes.
