Tbh I can just eat rice bowls forever

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (2 children)

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.

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'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..." :)

Vege bean burrito with too much hot sauce and extra lettuce.

I feel palpable guilt if I don't eat one every 1-2 days. It's funny to see this post; I was just talking myself out of making one because I'm not hungry (but I had something else to eat so I feel like I cheated in some way)

ETA this has been the case for 20 years. I had to take a 5 day DOT ferry and all I brought to eat was a cooler with 2 cans of beans, a package of tortillas, a head of lettuce, and 4 different hot sauces.

I honestly kind of thought that everyone did this until now

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

What's your recipe? It seems like it should be refined af after 20 years

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

I mean, it's literally vege refried beans, lettuce, hot sauce, tortilla lol

I have variations with the hot sauce- my fave has always been habanero Tabasco! but sometimes I'll use el yucateco, any high heat marie sharps, many unique sauces from stores all over, or any homemade sauces I have. Sometimes ghost pep salsa makes an appearance, but salsa makes the tortilla drippy so not always. I was adding x sharp Tillamook cheese for the first half of this diet but I've stopped craving cheese/dairy in the past 10 years or so

I'll obsess over one meal for a fortnight and then get sick of it.

I have upgraded my autistic food game and now eat 3 different same foods all the time.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago

Ok, listen, I really didn't need to be called out like this right now ;-;

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago

Chicken and rice will never not hit for me. I have been blessed.

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

If you don't eat a balanced diet that will do that, but you can eat balanced whilst eating three different balanced meals everyday

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago

Sounds like you were low on fibre

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 months ago (1 children)

What in gods name did you eat?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago

Aah yes, the classic mistake of eating it straight out of the freezer

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago

That'll do it

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago

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)

Blow my fuckin brains out.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Right? I can't even meal prep because I can't even eat the same food more than 2 days in a row. I wish I could for my health and easier cooking, less thinking about food, but I can't do it. I'd jump off a cliff in like a week.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 6 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Aint a thing wrong with it either

[–] [email protected] 23 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Okay wait seriously? 7+ years of PB&J for lunch and y'all are telling me that's not normal?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 6 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (3 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

I envy your salt tolerance

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

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
