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

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.
Yogurt and leftover cooked rice slaps too
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
Glad to hear it didn’t cause issues! May it never do so in your future. I knew a girl who loved cats and had to get rid of her cat(s) that she had from late childhood/early teens because her boyfriend was severely allergic to cats and there was no other way if they were to live together. Everyone who knew her thought she’d rather give up a guy than the idea of ever having a cat again but well there they go, I think they married two years ago (after dating for like 12 years). But the choice to never live the cats infused life she wanted was hard. Apparently she would have been more willing to compromise on having kids (despite really wanting a family) than on giving up cats.
Oof that’s rough, at least with food you don’t have to completely give up on it with good practices and being careful. Anyway, allergies fucking suck
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.
credit to you for typing this up. as a tofu enjoyer, I’m gonna pass on tofu toast
Chirashi bowl!
Ham and cheese sandwich, 1 baguette a day, very easy prep
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
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.
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.
That sounds great, where do you get it?
They’re German, so the easiest would be a German grocery store, but I found a version with seitan or one with more classic ingredients if you can cook.
It’s a lot of work, but it’s also something that you can make 200 of in a day with a large group of people and all take some home for many meals worth
Cool, thanks!
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’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
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

Ok, listen, I really didn’t need to be called out like this right now ;-;
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)
FYI, that’s super unhealthy.
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.
🤓
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.
I’d say bread but maybe that’s because I’m French
Miam moi aussi j’adore le pain pour le petit déjeuner, mais pour dîner c’est le riz (pour moi). Anyway, “les goûts et les couleurs…” :)
There are people who can’t??
There are people who shouldn’t.
Your body converts carbs to sugars so it’s really not good for people with diabetes.
I have upgraded my autistic food game and now eat 3 different same foods all the time.
