    I’m not autistic but I have eaten the same breakfast for the past 13 years.

    Also, eating the same things, or very similiar, on a regular basis is really good if you want to gain/lose weight since all you need to do it add/remove things.

      It’s also just easy. My lunch every workday is the same. When I ate meat I’d swap out what kind of lunch meat was on the sandwich, but now it’s a peanut butter sandwich with a piece of fruit. My breakfast is often the same on workdays. My variety comes from dinner and weekends. Is it because the idea of doing this is appealing? No, but I never have to worry that I forgot to pack a lunch or that I chose a breakfast I didn’t have time for.

      My wife on the other hand once spent years eating the same thing and considered it a perk of powerlifting, because that woman is autistic af.

        Yeah, it makes things simpler. You have the same as me, variation comes from dinners and weekends.

        When working out it’s even better to always eat the same thing; making adjustments is so much simpler
