Wise to make sure the one same meal every time, has all required nutrition.
For years I did a hemp smoothie, refined to add all the things to make it meet recommend levels of each nutrient.
My diet is at least 30% sandwiches xd
I am pizza
🍕
Butterbrot geht immer
You’d fit in here in Belgium. 80% of people eat 2 pieces of white bread with a spread or a single piece of meat in between for lunch lol
You know, I want to get into sandwiches, but I always feel like I throw away half the stuff because I don’t eat it quickly enough, or because I run out.
Any tips?
You can freeze bread and defreeze it in the oven pretty quickly if it’s already pre-sliced.
I often combine meals, for example I buy salad and cucumber, so I make sandwiches & a salad. Next day I’ll make wraps using the salad and condiments fromthe sandwiches. I barely buy stuff just for one dish, I always have a second use in mind.
Oven?? A microwave takes 30 seconds
This is exactly what I do too. I’ll also sometimes buy a rotisserie chicken and use some for salad, then make soup the next day. I also buy pickles and put them on sandwiches as well since they can stay good in the fridge for longer than a cucumber
Peanut butter and jam is my… jam :)
I know of an 18 year old boy who is autistic and eats nothing but chicken nuggets and potato waffles. His rigid diet has caused him health problems and it’s been very difficult for his parents. It’s sad to see.
Could they sneak vitamin stuff into his food/drink or does that only help so much?
I think they tried something like that but it didn’t work out. Very difficult situation sadly.
Luckily my wife has a rotation of safe foods, because even that’s a nightmare.
I have a less severe version of the same thing. ARFID. Turns out I’m not that crazy.
Dude I used to know a guy in his 30s that ate this way his whole life. Breaded chicken + fried potatoes of some sort + vanilla ice cream. No idea how he’s doing now but he’s gotta be feeling the effects his 40s.

Am I autistic or depressed?
Yes
Neither, just a bit crazy for liking raisins /j
The raisins ride a loose shotgun to the power of cinnamon and salted butter.
we have a pretty similar breakfast😈
As long as its just us. It throws me through a loop when theres no bagels left at the shop :[
I don’t think I’m on the spectrum, but maybe?
Anyway, for the past four years or so, I’ve been eating nearly the same meals every day, and I’m fine with it. I know exactly what I’ll buy for the week’s groceries, and I waste zero food. My trip to the grocery store takes just over one hour every Sunday morning, including driving time. I take the same path through the store, and grab the same items off the shelves each time, and the store is practically empty at that time, so I just slow down to grab the item. However, on the rare occasion I decide to change an ingredient, I can spend a long time trying to decide on a replacement.
Last year, I wanted to stop using packaged picante sauce, which I used for eggs, and as a replacement for ranch salad dressing for about a year previous. The packaged has too much salt, also I’ve been reducing the processed foods I buy. First, I looked for one that had lower salt, and the few they had were too expensive. So, I decided to try to make my own. That meant I had to buy several ingredients I didn’t before. I did it for about six months, but really didn’t like it, and it was more work every Sunday after I got home from shopping. So, instead, I just dropped it altogether. That meant I dropped the salad with chicken, because I couldn’t find a suitable dressing replacement with low salt. So, now I’m down to my hot meal with chicken and vegetables all the time. I thought it would be rough having the hot meal during the summer, but I did it all last summer and it was fine. Also, it’s one less aisle I go down during shopping.
I don’t know if you or I are on the spectrum, but we’re in whatever club has people that like to explain eating habits in excruciating detail.
All those poor chickens :(
Shit I always thought I had a little 'tism… Yeah I’ve eaten pretty much the same meal plan every day for over a decade. Soup and Sandwiches! Can’t go wrong with a bowl of soup and a sandwich for dinner, nope nope!
Breakfast is Steelcut Oatmeal made with splenda, cinnamon, and a dash of salt. 2 cups of coffee, each with splenda, pinch of salt and cinnamon.
Lunch I don’t eat, just power through with caffeine.
Dinner is two open-face turkey sandwiches. Scirachi aoli, cheddar cheese, smoked turkey, turkey pepperoni, jalepenos, topped with a nice bed of crunchy lettuce. A can of high-protein soup, with some tobasco and (a lot of) extra beans thrown in, microwaved for 6 minutes, then pop in some Italian seasoned croutons, let them soak up the soup for like 15-20 min while you eat the sandwiches, turns that bad boy into a delicious bready stew. Add to the dinner a pound bag of baby carrots, and a big ass iceberg/cabbage salad with whatever dressing for a great big bolus of fiber.
For dessert, Get you a sugar-free package of pudding in your fav flavor (Banana Cream and Pistachio), mix it with 3 cups of cold fat-free milk, let that sit while you eat din-din, then pour some rice krispies over the pudding, and eat it layer by layer, adding rice krispies for mouth feel as you go.
Fucking delicious. I’ve eaten that everyday for around 15 years now? I’ve gotten better recently, and have started having pizza nights, where I replace the soup and sandwiches with a whole pizza, but yeah, 99.9% of the time, soup and sandwiches. Classic combo. The best combo.
That’s like…way to much food for me, but it sounds bomb as hell.
it’s so much food, and stupid filling, but only like 2000 calories for the whole thing! When I want to lose weight, I can either stick very strictly to JUST that food, and I’ll lose about a pound or 2 a week with zero activity. However, I’m also an amateur bodybuilder, so I gotta keep up with my gym time at least 3 times a week, so if I maintain that activity PLUS keep to this diet, I’ll lose a pound of belly fat every 2 days. It’s pretty dope.
I like to get real sexy and svelt, get down to like 155 (I’m 5’8" Male) for the summer and for my birthday, once I hit my birthday, I’m allowed to eat whatever the fuck I want until I feel the itch to lose weight again. I’ll balloon up to like 185 or 190 in the winter with all my snacking and extra chocolate, but all the while I keep myself from going too crazy by sticking with my usual meal plan.
My guide to life is “everything in moderation, but especially moderation”
Damn okay, that’s not bad at all. Still too much for me, I think my maintenance intake is like only 1500 calories, but that’s way less than I expected.
Envious of your ability to swing weight so rapidly though, dang haha
Try eating with your mouth instead of ass and you might want to try new things?
Also: how can just your ass be autistic? And hie do you know?
You could also try new things with your ass. We don’t judge.
Fair. My intent was not to kink shame, though, just to be clear.
Was meant to be funny, so don’t mind, we’re good.
It was, just wanted to make my comments intent clear so as to not cause pain. :)
The perfection of my ass could only be crafted by autistic hyperfixation. This is known.
Making your favorite meal is not autistic, everyone goes back to the things they like.
(Watching the entirety of The Office 50 times might be autistic.)
I’ve literally made the same exact meal for breakfast and dinner every single day for the last four years straight. Lunch changed because of an external factor, but I’ve had the same meal for lunch every day for about six months now. The meme isn’t referring to making your favorite meal, it’s referring to making the only thing you eat for that meal, ever.
Mind sharing what you make? I’m intrigued.
Sharing what I eat would give away my identity to anyone who knows me in real life and happens to read my comment, sorry.
What if it’s not my favourite meal?
In a row…
I watch The Longest Yard (2005) literally every day. Source: am autie.
I got the fries that will make you cry
I just got burgers

This is my wife
The piano haunts my nightmares
Luckily she’s moved to B99 for a bit but we’ll see how long that lasts
Unfortunately, that’s a great way to really fucv up your health. Unfortunately, i know this from first-hand experience.
I guess I’m one of the few autistic people who doesn’t have food attachments. The only thing I decidedly dislike is sea urchin.
That sounds easily avoidable.

If you make the same meal repeatedly you get really good at it.
I eat egg cups almost every day for breakfast. Line muffin tins with sliced ham, crack an egg into each one, add seasonings and toppings, back. Let them cool, store in the fridge, microwave for 30 seconds and add a splash of sauce to eat.
Protein smoothie for lunch. I’ve got it down to the point where I optimize what order the ingredients should go into the blender in so that they blend smoothly. Orange juice, protein powder, banana (optional), peanut butter, ice, peanut oil (optional).
I also love various kinds of meal prep for dinner. Doing things in bulk and in advance is usually more efficient for both time and money. And such deliberation usually leads to better nutrition too.
I also enjoy experiencing new flavors. I love seeing new restaurants pop up nearby, immigrants bringing flavors from their homeland I’ve never tasted before. But that’s an expensive (and often unhealthy) treat for special occasions.
Eating to live vs living to eat.
Lately it’s been sourdough + pesto + tomato and mozz sandwich toasted up and cut in half, plenty of salt and pep.
I skip the pesto and sandwich part, I just chop up some tomato’s and mozzarella, add some oregano, salt, pepper, olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and have that as a salad. When I’m extra hungry I add some slices of bread with butter lol
I do it mainly for the reason because I am lazy. I don’t like having to think what I need to buy before I go shopping. If I eat the same stuff every week, I know what and how much I need to get and where to exactly find it in the supermarket.
Bologna and cheese on white bread. I can eat it every day and have for years
