My diet is at least 30% sandwiches xd

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.

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.

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.)

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.

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?

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.

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.

Am I autistic or depressed?

Yes

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 know what I like.
