Is eating the same thing all the time a bad idea?

[Rhodes1979]

I find eating to be a major inconvenience. I am one of those people.

What's the question again, OP?

So, do any of you dislike eating but have a method that works for you long term? Should I just start doing a 1,000 calorie protein shake and not worry about extra food aside from breakfast, lunch and dinner? I love lifting, I love getting stronger and I assure you that I am the guy in the gym that always exerts maximum effort and intensity. However, the diet thing screws me every time. When I finally get burned out on food and start cutting back I loose strength, energy, and start incurring injuries. This has been the pattern I have been stuck in for years.

Thanks

Not sure what your point is. I eat the same thing day in day out for the sake of convienence. Works for me. The fat thing - yup, a cake a day will do that... anything else?

I was skinny as a rail for years. 10 years ago I got fat and can not seem to get a lean mid section to save my life. I get lean every where else. Is this a specific diet issue? Is there a specific diet issue/ problem that keeps fat around the middle? To clarify the food intake thing, after a while certain foods stop sitting well with me and literally start to make me feel sick. I need to find a way to sustain a caloric surplus for extended periods of time. When I stopped lifting the last time around, for about six months, I lost my appetite and struggled to make myself eat about 1,500 calories a day. I stayed at the same weight despite the serious calorie reduction. Of course I lost muscle and gained fat during this time. I think I just need a dietitian to plan and shop for me.

Calories in < Calories out. If this is true you will lose weight.

LOL!!! Nice cat.

So you are strapped for cash but eat fast food once a day? You can buy a bunch of tuna/rice/pasta for the price of a ff meal unless you are doing the dollar meal thing... or taco bell...

[Rhodes1979]

I also enjoyed the cat.

There ARE somethings that guys should eat every day.

[JimmyJonny]

Hm, I have the same exact problem. It aint easy, its something I struggle with everyday, but Im figuring it out.

My problems are not wanting to eat and certain foods make me sick. I can be starving to death and I still dont wanna eat......

Things I do :

Eat as soon as I get up !!! It jump starts you. eggs, oatmeal, fruit, etc is what I like.
Learned to make my meals in the 500cal range. 4 meals and Im close to nailing my needs.
I juice now. This was a major change for me. I hate vegetables but now I drink stuff I would never eat, I use the " Bullet ".
I eat more carbs throughout the day than at night ( pasta ). This tends to keep me hungry more often.
I eat before bed. Usually my good fats like almonds or peanutbutter to keep full.
I eat pasta 1 or 2 times a day. I eat 1 servings per meal (200c-ish) but never alone. I like mine with cottage cheese, no sauce, milk or vegetable drink, and salad......... well balanced, and again...... a 500c meal.

Really sit down and learn your needs, make meal plans and stick to it. Fitday is where I learned my tracking but I dont even have to look anymore . I do take a multivitamin and drink water throughout the day, everyone should .

If you wanna know how I fixed my stomach problems just ask, I dont wanna go crazy writing things people dont care about.

Yes - it is much better to get variety in your diet - it's the only way on ensuring that you are getting a complete range of nutrients and minerals

Eat a wide variety of foods that you enjoy. If you have trouble eating enough, slant your choices towards the more-calorie-dense foods.





But you need a baseline plan from which to move forward; just eating random meals will have you spinning your wheels and making no progress no matter which direction you're trying to go.


This thread will explain all the steps to figure your baseline of required protein, fat, carbs, and calories:

Learned my body fat % today. I am at 16.2 %. Am I understanding that I should get down below 10 % before I even think about eating big?

That decision is entirely up to you. Do as your mirror directs you rather than what anyone else says.
