creekland Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Just curious to know if others have foods/snacks/similar that they eat essentially every day (allowing for missed days with travel or company or whatever). My breakfast changes between a few options, but regardless of the "main course," I always have a few cashews with a multivitamin and turmeric pill. My lunch changes (it almost always includes red grapes if I head to school), but I always follow it up with a Hershey's Dark Chocolate w/Almonds Nugget, and Andee's mint chocolate, then a Life Saver's Wint O Green mint. There are times I skip lunch, so those days don't count, but if I'm eating... Supper has no constants whatsoever. Anyone else have certain things?

nd293 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 A latte, first thing in the morning, every single day. Hot in winter. Iced in summer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Girls' Mom Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I eat a Strong and Kind bar nearly every day for "brunch". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abba12 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 My kids have the same breakfast every day, some form of cereal, with greek yogurt, raw honey and some sort of fruit. They also have a banana nearly every day for one of their snacks. My husband has a museli bar (kinda like a granola bar but stickier I think) every day for morning tea (morning snack?) I.... don't, actually. I have phases of things, like my phase of a few pieces of pork rind each afternoon, but nothing that's lasted more than a month.

Carrie12345 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 An egg of some sort, a cheese of some sort, and a square (or two) of dark chocolate. I want a banana most days, but the kid frequently wipe them all out. My youngest two have peanut butter pretty much every day, whether it's at breakfast if we're staying home all day or just before bed because we were out all day. And most of my bananas.

Amira Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Local, in-season fruit. In Mexico that was a mango every day except for November-January. Right now it's an apple. I also very often have a piece of toasted homemade bread. Lunch and dinner aren't consistent. I really, really miss eating mangoes every day, but the apples are wonderful right now. I have at least ten different types in my fridge right now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEmama Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Breakfast: oatmeal with blueberries and walnuts. And an egg in some fashion. And coffee, of course. Lunch varies. Snacks vary but usually include a Luna bar or homemade "Lara" bar. Carrots and hummus are regular staples, as are nuts or seeds of some type (pumpkin right now) Dinner varies. I feel like I reach for the same things everyday, but maybe that's more for DS. His daily consumption includes a huge array of different foods right now, though. Feed, repeat. Feed, repeat. Feed, repeat. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeachyDoodle Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I eat a scrambled egg and a slice of Canadian bacon every morning, no exceptions. If I'm extra hungry on the weekend, I splurge on a piece of toast. :p Lunch varies (usually leftovers from dinner) but my go-to veggie if I don't have anything to re-heat is roasted asparagus. It's quick and easy and I like it. I have it 2-3 times/week at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustEm Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Coffee! Also, I almost always have eggs for breakfast with wanted veggies. The veggies vary. The only times I don't have eggs is if dh make waffles or pancakes, or if we're out and I'm forced to eat oatmeal or leftovers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junie Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Yogurt with (lots of) chocolate chips for breakfast. I have texture sensitivities (yes, to yogurt); the chocolate chips help. Some kind of noodles (gf, now) almost every day of my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawz4me Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Breakfast is always either a couple of eggs or a piece of cheese toast. Lunch is almost always a salad or soup. Dinner varies. And coffee. Lots and lots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mailey Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I eat bananas almost every single day, at least during the week. Either a quick breakfast, before gym or just snack between breakfast and lunch / lunch and dinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmandaVT Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I have oatmeal almost every day. In the warmer months, salad for lunch and as part of dinner. Decaf black coffee (which apparently makes me a sociopath according to a recent article I read). Fruit in season, lots of apples this month!

kiana Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I do eat the same thing many days. It's always meat + a vegetable, but it very often ends up being broccoli and chicken legs because I like them, they're nutritious, and they're cheap. I have this for breakfast and supper. I'm adding in a starch lately because I need to not lose weight, and that's variable -- it's been a potato or some rice lately. Lunch is a lot more variable.

MyThreeSons Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 The only thing I have consistently is that I usually have a cup of French Vanilla Cappuccino (instant mix from Sam's Club) each morning. I have gone through phases where I had a salad pretty much every night for dinner, especially when it's hot and I don't feel like cooking. And when I was pregnant with ds1, I think I had an egg salad sandwich every work day at lunch for about two months. I am surprised at how many say they have eggs every day. At one time, there was a warning against doing that. I did enjoy a senior omelette last night for dinner at Denny's, when I had some time to kill.

Greta Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Breakfast is definitely my most repetitive meal. It's almost always a couple of slices of bacon, and a handful of berries with creme fraiche. Sometimes I'll mix it up and have scrambled eggs with cheese and red chile or a "mock danish" (it's a low-carb, high fat kinda-sorta-Danish-like thing). Oh, and every great once in awhile on the weekend if the craving strikes me I'll make low-carb pancakes. But that's pretty much it for breakfast. Lunch and dinner vary more, but really they still come from the same basic foods, just in different combinations. I probably should work on getting a bigger variety of foods into our diets. Oh, and I *always* start my morning with coffee with a little heavy cream. Always. Come to think of it, my drink choices are extremely repetitive: coffee, tea, water, sparkling water. I never drink juice unless it's a tiny splash in a cocktail. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creekland Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 I've been amazed at how many do eggs for breakfast too. Since we have chickens, eggs for breakfast is really common - usually with fried garden veggies if I have them, but not exclusive. Sometimes I make a toasted (or grilled) cheese sandwich. Sometimes I have leftovers from the previous dinner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pam in CT Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Same exact breakfast every day: greek yogurt with fruit, with some Grape Nuts sprinkled on top for texture and honey drizzled on top. Same beverages every morning and afternoon: black coffee in am, peppermint tea in pm, lots and lots and lots of seltzer water throughout. Same 2 snacks: raw almonds, and crudites with hummus. If I have lunch (I often don't), it's nearly always salad greens with a bit of protein (hummus, black beans, HB egg) on top. Dinner varies substantially.

bibiche Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Soup of the evening, beautiful soup.

cjzimmer1 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Big Train brand Chocolate Chai tea (no other brand or flavor) made in almond milk first thing in the morning. An hour or so later some kind of protein, preferably just a chunk of meat but sometimes I have to resort to leftovers and that may be a casserole with out stuff in it. Sometimes after that I will have another cup of chai tea. Then I'm good for the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzanne in ABQ Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I eat 2 eggs every day, usually with a bottle of Mocha Frappuccino. I cook them differently every day, and mix different things in, or have something different on the side. One of my faves is almost-hard boiled eggs (still warm) with a PB&J sandwich, Frappuccino chaser. That sounds good. I think I'll go have breakfast.

meena Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 No. I get burned out on foods easily. If I eat the same food, or type of food, more than a few days in a row, I ultimately find myself dreading eating it. Sometimes repetition can put me off certain foods for a long time (even permanently). While at times it's fun to switch up what I eat frequently, I find myself wishing I could get into an eating routine. It would make life and nutrition a whole lot simpler. Growing up, I had a friend who brought the exact same cold lunch items for all 4 of our high school years. I was simultaneously amazed, jealous, and repulsed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BooksandBoys Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I'm very boring. Eggs every morning for breakfast, hard-cooked if I'm rushing, scrambled if I'm not. Tuna, salmon or grilled chicken on salad every day for lunch. A meat and lots of veggies for almost every dinner (the rest of the family eats a starch too). I like to make more interesting dinners, but my kids really turn their noses up on casserole/curry/soup/really anything that mixes ingredients, so we stick to the basics most of the time.

JFSinIL Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Each morning a cuppa 1% milk chugged while I wait for the water for my cuppa Lipton to get hot, then I nuke a portion of steel-cut oats with a sprinkle of sunflower seeds and salt. I just made another batch of oats in the pressure cooker - in small containers it lasts five days. I eat a large green salad with tiny tomatoes in the afternoon or evening. At some point I grab a small Greek yogurt and gobble it down. Most days (not always) I have a bowl of dal mixed with torn up wheat bread. I make that in large batches, too. If we are having chili or Indian food or something else spicy or full of legumes I skip the dal. Other than that, it varies. Oh, and this week I shall devour an entire bag of mini-Mars bars. I knew I should have waited to stock up on Halloween candy! ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misha Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I have cycles also, but my one constant is garlic. I love garlic and use fresh and dried with at least one meal a day.

Yum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacia Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Coffee is my one constant. (Usually. Of course, the past two days, I drank no coffee, so it's not a daily thing, it's probably more of a 350-days-a-year-thing.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SproutMamaK Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Always a fried egg with ham for breakfast. Depending on my morning blood sugar number, I'll either have it as a small omelette or on a slice of toast. Aside from that, I nearly always have a salad with dinner, usually with a chopped hard boiled egg and grated cheese in it in some way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knoxinsox Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Every morning (for years), iced French press coffee with ID Sweet Cream creamer. Green Juice for breakfast with a protein . Cottage cheese with blueberries and more green juice for the evening meal. The green juice binge started in May---I am addicted, and losing weight. I've even got my "No Green Veggies Will Ever Pass My Lips" husband drinking it. Otherwise, I eat a varied diet--our mail meal is at lunch time, so casseroles, meat and potatoes, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
