@ashleyspencer@actuallyautistic Yes, especially main meals - I'll eat the same thing for dinner several times a week for a while, then just... not want it any more. Fortunately this doesn't seem to happen with my preferred breakfast, which I've been eating almost every day for years.
I eat one meal a day - lunch. Breakfast is coffee/cream and a few handfuls of mixed unsalted nuts. Lunch is whatever dish I cooked that week. This week it's chicken fajita (chicken / peppers / onions / mushrooms, jalapeno cheese, no tortillas) with an orange and apples for dessert. Dinner is whatever fruit is left over from lunch. I'll eat this all week, and next week it'll be a different main course, but the same everything else.
Yes, I do that. It's become a topic of conversation with my housemates as they became aware of it. Much like @pathfinder it's usually breakfast and lunch. I've eaten yogurt for breakfast almost every day since I moved here in February. Lunch is some variation of ramen, a sandwich, or both.
My housemates usually prepare a (healthy and tasty) main meal. I'm not a picky eater. They have dietary requirements, and I go along.

Definitely do this. Especially for breakfast and lunch. Main meals tend to be a rotation of the same half a dozen or so meals.
@ashleyspencer@actuallyautistic most mornings I eat a toasted crumpet. Have done for the last 7yrs. Once or twice a week I skip breakfast entirely and about once every 15 days I eat cereal, which is always frosted flakes.
Once a month, we might have a full English breakfast for brunch instead
@ashleyspencer@actuallyautistic Pretty much. I don't usually eat the same thing every day, but I certainly eat certain things very regularly, and then not again for years.
If possible, I try not to let myself eat something so much that I wear it out, because that will reduce the number of things I'm able to eat.
