ruling the same food

Read as,
my autistic ass-eating…
Obligatory xkcd reference https://xkcd.com/37/
I'm so ashamed I didn't immediately think of that. That comic was the first thought any time someone used 'adjective-ass noun' for years.
As a person who gets tired of the same food very frequently this sounds pretty good
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.
if I had a star trek replicator for food I could probably eat the same burrito every day for the rest of my life tbh
Mood
You can maybe diversify a bit by adding other stuff while leaving the base the same.
E.g. my go to is oat meal. But you can add apples, bananas, nuts, strawberries, seeds, etc. This should combat the one dimensionality of that lifestyle a bit. At least I hope so, lol.

fuckin love potatoes
New uni and friends tell me that I shouldnt eat too much shrimp at the school's cafeteria cause its the only good dish and I will get tired of it. They severely underestimated my love for shrimp. Im motherfucking Bubba from forest Gump, I will eat shrimp in every way, every day, for the rest of my life if I can. I fucking love shrimp.
Man it would be hilarious if you found a partner who had a severe shellfish allergy.
You mean my first girlfriend? She didn't have shellfish allergy but somehow she was allergic to shrimp specifically. Believe or not it didn't cause much issue but I nvr lived with her so who knows how it could've been

So what's on the menu? I'm looking for a new meal to eat till I literally never want to think about it again.
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.

Okay wait seriously? 7+ years of PB&J for lunch and y'all are telling me that's not normal?
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.
The smiling cat meme is completely inappropriate for this content.
I used to eat the same food every day and ended up with hemorrhoids. Passing stool was a slow, painful, bloody process every time. It took years to recover from that.
I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
What in gods name did you eat?
frozen pizza
Aah yes, the classic mistake of eating it straight out of the freezer
That'll do it
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
What if that food is extremely well-balanced in terms of nutrients?
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.

If it’s dollar store ramen and tap water, that might not be autism. If so I’ve had what you have. It’s called poverty.
I'll get hung up on a certain food for like six months or so. Then one day, I'm like nope that's enough and find something new.
Right now it's nachos with everything. But I'm coming to the end of them I think.
Previous hang-ups cheese steaks, burritos, Chinese, Rubens, pizza.
I envy your salt tolerance

Listen.
When I just wake up I need sustenance but my motor skills are as low as my brain fog is high. I -am- however functional enough to press the "make coffee button" and slap a spoon in a container of yogurt.
Yogurt and decaf* coffee are nice, but not enough to keep my 100+KG of pure overthinking going for long. Luckily, while sipping on my coffee I can knead dough, so by lunchtime I should have fresh bread. (or stale bread from the day before)** What goes on the bread has been decided mostly in my youth, has been altered when I moved on my own, and these days only gets tweaked... it works, why fuck with it.
Dinner has been planned over the weekend so when evening starts and my brain is all cooked out, but my motor skills are at its peak, cooking up some pasta/rice/potato dish with veggies should be easy. Anything more involved is for occasions where I have time to be invested in cooking. On weekends I cook bulk for the days where I don't function, so my freezer is stuffed with all sort of 1 pan dishes.
Within these variables I eat fairly varied, but you really don't want to be around when I am forced to change them on short notice. EG; when I forgot to get yoghurt, it might take me untill mid afternoon untill ive recovered ^^"
it took me about 15 years to work this system out, but by george I have finally mastered eating 3 meals a day.
*Don't give me regular, apocalypses have been started over less.
**Im working on baguette dough so I can make it the day before so i can portion better and don't have to knead in the morning)
Ok, listen, I really didn't need to be called out like this right now ;-;
I have upgraded my autistic food game and now eat 3 different same foods all the time.
Tbh I can just eat rice bowls forever
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.

If the meal is balanced...
my autistic ass eating the same food two days in a row: 😿
new things and surprises my beloved 💖
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.
Depression + Weed + Same food day after day = It’s fine.
Vege bean burrito with too much hot sauce and extra lettuce.
I feel palpable guilt if I don't eat one every 1-2 days. It's funny to see this post; I was just talking myself out of making one because I'm not hungry (but I had something else to eat so I feel like I cheated in some way)
ETA this has been the case for 20 years. I had to take a 5 day DOT ferry and all I brought to eat was a cooler with 2 cans of beans, a package of tortillas, a head of lettuce, and 4 different hot sauces.
I honestly kind of thought that everyone did this until now

I'll obsess over one meal for a fortnight and then get sick of it.
What's the food?
Has it reached 25+ years for me yet? Somewhere around there.
