I try to have the same foods but with different combinations. What I also like to do is have 3 standard meals and per day vary one of those meals into something else so my food that day feels ‘new’.
I don’t know. My family isn’t the healthiest. So we don’t have healthy food. Only eggs, sausages and bacon. Which does get on my nerves so I just put up with it.
I swap out what I pair some staple foods with, for example, I may have strawberries and yogurt one day, but the next day I switch it up to have strawberries and cream!
3 factors of Carbohydrates protein and vitamins&nutrients. These should be consumed in different combination. I would suggest you to try different country cuisine for every week. Eg: I had a Middle Eastern breakfast today. They include usage of cheese (labneh) feta cheese cucumbers, freshly baked breads , olives and varieties of nuts and seeds for their diet.
Make a timetable for the whole week of what I will be cooking and eating each day. This way I can bring variation to my meals. And saves time spent on thinking what to eat for the next meal.
It’s okay not sure of change what you eat when you find what fits your lifestyle and dietary needs. It actually makes one’s life easier to eat the same foods all the time. We just have a rule not to eat one food more than once a day. Shopping is easier, meal prep is easier, thinking is easier.
All the time! Although often it’s the same base ingredients but served in a different way. (I’m Mexican. Nearly every dish is meat, salsa, and tortilla, but served differently!). For example, I eat Zucchini with tomatos and onions often. Sometimes I just sautée it as a side. Sometimes I make it into zoodles and add some chicken to be a main course. Sometimes I eat it raw, or bake into chips. There are lots of ways to change things up even with the same ingredients (Sometimes different spices) I recommend trying it out with some of your favorites!
Actually my taste depends on my mood and my mindset. At different periods, I have different taste. For instance, I am more on healthy food instead of fried foods as old days. Therefore, the important deal here is 'just go for it'. Don’t be hesitate. Everything will make sense for something eventually.
For me I help my mum with meal planning our meals each week. It allows us to look back and vary meals. We have a range of breakfast cereals as well as options of toast and eggs etc. I love cooking so I’m always looking at new recipes in recipe books to try and vary meals
Normally I will have leftovers and I personally don’t like having the same meal twice in a row so I leave it in the fridge and eat it the next day DONT FORGET ABOUT IT
