ruling the same food

Obligatory xkcd reference https://xkcd.com/37/

It's all fun and games till you get health problems. I should eat something else, but I get super nervous whenever someone suggests I eat a new food. I do cook some potatoes once a month tho.

Man it would be hilarious if you found a partner who had a severe shellfish allergy.

Heyo, not OP, but have been doing the same for almost a year now.

I mealprep for four days, due to the size of my pot and bowls.

Breakfast

Ingredients

(4 portions)

• 400g Tofu
• (High-protein) soy-milk
• Salt, Pepper, Paprika-Powder, Curry-Powder, Chili-Flakes, Herbs
• 8 Slices of whole-grain bread
• Margarine
• Mustard

Mealprep

Crumbled Tofu. I just crumble 400g of tofu in a bowl, add salt, pepper, curry-powder, paprika-powder, chili flakes, and some pre-chopped and dried herbs. I add about 4 shots of soy-milk, mix everything and put it in a glass with the lid on. (I eyeball the amount of spices. Maybe start making one portion (100g Tofu for me) and see how you like the spices. As starting point paprika- and curry-powder are the same amount, as are chili-flakes and herbs.) The original recipe used only cumin, salt and pepper, so just play around till you find something that tastes good.

Heating it up

Relatively simple: Just put margarine and mustard on 2 slices of bread. Put a quarter of the prepared Tofu in a pan. I add another shot of soy-milk to make it stickier. Fry the Tofu and spread it on the Bread.

Dinner

Ingredients

(for 4 portions)

• 2 onions
• 600g of brown rice
• about 180g of vegan ground-meat (depends on package size)
• Chili-flakes, Pepper, Herbs
• enough bullion-powder for 3-4 liters, or to taste
• some (sesame-)oil
• (20g of creatine)

Mealprep

Chop the onions, add a bit of oil to a large pot, add the onions, vegan ground-meat, pepper, herbs and chili-flakes. Fry it until the onions are glassy. Add the rice, about 1.8 Liters of water, bullion-powder and creatine. Let it cook with a lid until all the water is soaked into the rice. Be careful at the end to not burn the rice. Divide the mushy rice into 4 containers and put them in the fridge. There should be a bit of space left in the container for the rice to rise, otherwise the water will squeeze out and turn the rice on the bottom to mush.

Heating it up

If your first meal is after preparation, just eat it, while its warm. Otherwise get a large pan, put some oil in it and fry the rice until its hot. I usually fill the container with warm water to also heat it up. That way I don't have to clean an extra plate. (My containers are made from glass, but can withstand a big heat-difference, do not do, if not sure.)

Lunch

Yea, idk. I should probably eat lunch, but it's extra work. If anyone knows something easy, preferably with lentils, beans or peas, let me know.

Meal-sizes

At some point I calculated the macros I need and it roughly fits. You should probably do the same. Also I take a multi-vitamin/mineral since I don't have the nerve to prepare veggies.

Chirashi bowl!

Ham and cheese sandwich, 1 baguette a day, very easy prep

Who cares if it's normal? Your choice to eat a PBJ every day hurts absolutely nobody and if anyone judges you for it I'll smack them in the bicep with a rolled-up newspaper.

What in gods name did you eat?

Sounds like you were low on fibre

If you don't eat a balanced diet that will do that, but you can eat balanced whilst eating three different balanced meals everyday

I discovered vegan maultaschen (dumplings, basically), which have the exact proportion of macronutrients and fiber that I need in my diet at large, and which can be eaten raw, fried, or in broth. They also cost €2.25 for /~600 calories worth, so very cheap for prepared food, but not really that cheap in the end.

It’s the perfect food.

Apparently black beans and rice are excelent and really popular in brazil. Best part is that you can make huge amounts and freeze it, so you don't even have to cook often. Preferrably add something else to add some more variety to it.

I envy your salt tolerance

I feel like i have a basic rotation of foods i can make to feed myself that consists of mostly pasta/rice/potatoes/bread+whatever ingredients i happen to have usually mixed into a homogeneous mass of good tasting food(except with bread its all the stuff stewed and put on top of the bread).

On top of that i have a fixation on some type of food i try to master and will do versions of quite often depending on how complex it is to make. Currently the fixation has been east asian rice dishes(mostly different types of fried rice) previously it has been stuff like burritos, quiches, caesar salad

I’m this way too. Eventually the thing starts to taste bad. Or I almost resent that I want it so it’s not the same lol then we switch it up

IK

It kind of depends on the food, how healthy it is, and if they are making sure they are adding the proper nutrients and vitamins.

It is totally possible to eat the same meals everyday and be completely healthy as long as you keep track of those things.

🤓

There are people who can't??

I feel like rice is one of the most universally inoffensive foods. It's like if there was a default "human food" I would picture rice.

the two sides of the tism

It's true, my wife is autistic and can't even eat a single food meal. She has to have a side or something.

I'm the opposite, she used to constantly question me for taking the exact same lunch for YEARS hahaha.

In case it's not clear, we are both legitimately autistic.

Holy crap, they're back!

What's your recipe? It seems like it should be refined af after 20 years

Soylent green = Somewhat functioning life + Depression

They will be good until the kidney stones start forming,

Right? I can't even meal prep because I can't even eat the same food more than 2 days in a row. I wish I could for my health and easier cooking, less thinking about food, but I can't do it. I'd jump off a cliff in like a week.

Stop kinkshaming me!
