It’s well onown amongst the fitness community that people do way better with a varied meal plan as opposed to eating the same things every day. Variety is important (you can develop kidney stones from eating too much spinach which is rich in calcium) keep the same principles in mind for healthy eating and get creative with it. You’ll enjoy it far more and its easier to sustain as a lifestyle change which is far more effect than adopting a diet and yoyoing off that
Eating a variety of healthy foods is always optimal. If indeed this is your preferred daily eating habit then change is not necessary. However you might find that trying new things can be a pleasure.
I think if it’s easier to make a healthier choice because you’re eating the same thing more than once in a week it’s ok. If we make things to complicated it will be harder to consistent (that’s true for me anyway...) It’s feels good to treat myself right and make sure my body has the proper nutrients to run a little more smoothly throughout the day. I’m realizing I haven’t really focused on my own health before.
From my point of view you should eat what you want, but just be careful to how many calories each meal has. Try eating a lot of vegatable and fruits. But you can have 20 grams or one biscuit once in a while ☺️ In order to calculate how many calories you eat you can by a kitchen scale and weigh everything you eat. At least at the beginning. You can check the FitnessPal app, it was really helpful for me to keep track of my meals 🥑 For the moment I am consuming only 1100 calories because I want to lose weight (female, 159 cm, 80 kg). Here is how my nutritionist portioned out my meals: Breakfast - 350 calories; Snack 1 - 100 calories; Lunch - 400 calories; Snack 2 - 100 calories; Dinner - 250 calories. I hope my answer will help you 🌼
I eat one meal, lunch, of the same basic things every day. A fresh salad. It helps me have limited choices so that I can dedicate that energy to other things I care about but it’s healthy and easy to make so I don’t feel badly about it.
You should listen to your body every time you’re going to eat. Then think what kind of food do you want right now? Put on a plate in front of you. What do you feel? Is it something that you really want to eat? If your answer is yes, next you should do is to smell it. What do you feel now? Then put it into your mouth, hold it just as it is couple of seconds. And if it feels good star to chewing it, slowly, feeling different tastes and then you can gently swallow it. If you will do these steps even couple of times, you will answer you question by yourself ☺️
For me, with my busy lifestyle I find it is easier (and less expensive) to eat the same general things every day. And I think it also helps me appreciate (savor) the variety more when I switch it up on occasion.
Guess I’m thinking it is okay as long as the meals you are eating are balanced and giving you the right nutrition throughout the day. We are creatures of habit and there is something comforting as well gives us a better chance to keep the habits
It is important to eat different things now and then. It is better for your physical health, but also potentially gets you to try new things. That being said, there’s nothing wrong with having a few comfort recipes. Balance is key.
Variety is the spice of life! Nutrition is best with a variety of vitamins and minerals found in different foods. Switch it up.
