I have around 8 meals on rotation
What a flex. Look at Mr 8 meals over here.I have like 4 on rotation until the heat death of the universe.
Not that I don’t appreciate variety, but going for a different mid-week meal is a commitment that I’m usually not ready for.
8 meals sounds like a perfectly decent sized roster to me.
It’s like that meme one meme where Joseph Gordon-Levitt says “I have eight safe foods” and Zoey Deschanel agrees with him out loud but we can tell she is actually thinking “I have ate safe foods.”
From the movie “Eight (8) Days of (dating) Summer”
My autism likes routine; my adhd likes chaos.
This balances in the form of ever changing routines.
I can handle it if needed, but will always gravitate towards pretty much ht same meals every day and there are people who say i have eating disorder or disordered eating.
Though it’s highly beneficial so i don’t see any issues with it.
I think I have the opposite where I can’t stand the same meal for like more than 2 days, like the same lunch I planned for the rest of the week
still rotate between the same things tho
My lunch can be the same thing every day for 6 months, but my dinners MUST be unique. And even stuff I love gets old quickly if I have it too often. Breakfast is somewhere between those two extremes.
I’ve been eating the same like 5 meals for 30 years.
This sounds really bad in a way, but at the same time… Why the hell not? Reminds me of some sitcome joke where someone asks if they should eat chinese tonight, and the other person says: “we had chinese yesterday” and the other person goes:“chinese people eat it every day.”
Once you’ve found an efficient lunch that is nutritional, easy to make and doesn’t taste bad, why would you not keep eating it. You just solved lunch! It’s a joyous occasion!

I guess I’m definitely not on the spectrum, then, I’ve never been picky with food and always seek out new things.
I always seek out new things when I don’t have to make it myself but when I’m making something, I’m fine with wraps every day for weeks, months, years.
You don’t want to eat pizza every day? I do.
Just 8? Guess my dumb ass brain cant handle that, it consideres that too little. I literally have dozens of recipe ideas, that I NEED to rotate.
Japanese Curry is a good go-to st least.
My autistic husband cant even have the same meal twice a day
Do you mean 2 days in a row? Cause who on earth wants the same thing twice in one day?
Me. Im fine with it. Could eat spätzle with souce any day every day
I’m rotating places I order food from, but I usually have a preset combo at each place. Unless they remove or alter an item I usually order.
My Rotation:
Falafel Döner -> Mango Duck Rice -> Salmon Spinach Pizza ( -> Repeat)
:)
I’d probably eat more varied food if I could afford to eat out often, or had the skill and discipline to properly cook regularly. I’m eating a lot of tortelloni lately.
I always feel like the odd one out here. I’m okay with eating the same thing for practical reasons but I really like having a big variety in food. Maybe being previously married to a chef trained that into me, and I certainly know how to cook from it so the making of food isn’t a big mental overhead for me
