      A lot of people do, weirdly. My dad is super obese and would rather eat weird smelling old ass cheap processed meat than anything remotely healthy. But he would bever eat the same thing twice a day, or the next day. Everything he cooks and doesn’t eat gets immediately thrown away. Meanwhile i can cook on sunday and eat it for a week.
      There was this throwaway line in some random sitcom where someone aks if they want to have Chinese food for dinner and he says something like: we had chinese food yesterday. On which he replied: chinese people eat chinese food everyday.

        Fun fact, most Chinese people would have to fly to the US or travel to a tourist specialized area since Chinese food as known in the west was invented in California. American Chinese cuisine is a fusion of Cantonese style food with American ingredients and tastes, and it’s hard to find in China. So, in a way, Chinese people actually don’t eat (American) Chinese food everyday if ever. And probably for the better, eating so much salt, msg and certain fats everyday is likely not a very healthy diet.

      I eat the same thing for breakfast and at lunch every day at work and it’s definitely viewed as weird behaviour.

      My girlfriend is absolutely opposed to having the same dinner two days in a row.

      I do agree that variety is the spice of life but I’m absolutely fine with the idea of eating the same things time after time (as long as they taste nice).

      I dream with a human kibble too. The closest things I’ve found is Soylent and it’s competitors.

        I actually have quite enjoyed Soylent!

        However, it’s designed for people with normal metabolisms and digestive systems.

        My metabolism is giga fucked forever and I’ve basically already consumed an entire lifetime’s worth of carbohydrates. So carbs make me sick. Joint pain, inflammation, swelling in the extremities of my limbs, fatigue, trouble sleeping… I know it’s carbs because these symptoms stop when I stop eating carbohydrates.

        They’re just really gods damned hard to avoid.

          Sorry to hear that! But yeah, I enjoy it too. It took a couple of tries to get used to the soy flavor, but after that, it’s great! If I’m too depressed or lazy to feed myself I can just make a glass of sweet vanilla-dlavored dystopian slop and that’s it. It’s great mixed with fruit and yogurt too.

    I am definitely in the minority here, but I can eat the same meal everyday for years.

    Before I graduated college, I was overweight. I never got any attention from women, and all my friends thought I was nonathletic. I started waking up at 5:30AM everyday, running a few miles, and then showering before anyone else got up. But I wasn’t seeing the results I wanted, because I hadn’t changed my diet. So I started tracking exactly how much I was eating, and oh boy, everyone who’s done that probably has a similar reaction e.g. “Holy shit I’ve been eating so much.”

    So I worked out a meal plan for myself. 500 calories of Steel-cut oatmeal in the morning, intermittent fast through lunch, then 1000 calorie dinner comprised of vegetable soup (add in some croutons and tobasco), turkey sandwiches (open faced for half the bread) with a bag of baby carrots. I use the baby carrots to help me pace the rest of the meal, basically, eat some baby carrots, then one sandwich, then some more baby carrots, then the next sandwich, then some more, then half the soup, then finish the baby carrots, finish the soup. The whole thing takes about 45 minutes to an hour to eat, and leaves me very full.

    I’ve rotated out what kind of canned soup I use, as well as the accoutre-mount of sandwich add-ons (cheddar cheese with jalepeno vs. pepper-jack with banana pepper), but I’ve pretty much eaten this meal everyday since 2010.

    Heh, try that with my dog. It can eat the same thing two times in a row and then refuses to eat more. If you don’t offer anything else, it will not eat for days…
