How frequently do you eat the same dish?

  How often can you eat the same meal? Is it bad for you to do so?

  I get bored eating the same thing too often, so when I have a ton of leftovers I try to adjust the seasonings or change them in some way to make them taste "new." (So, roast chicken leftovers become chicken-and-cheese quesadillas or shredded BBQ chicken or chicken salad before I make the bones into soup). I also make a lot of some things and freeze meal-size portions for later use. But in terms of it being bad for you? As long as the meal itself is nutritionally balanced and not too fatty or highly caloric, it's not bad for you.
  
  That said, I wouldn't eat macaroni and cheese 4 times a week. Even though sometimes I'd like to!

  lol bad for you? yes, like Lylah said i think it depends on the meal itself! if you have a low fat salad every day i think you are ok! my husband would eat a subway sandwich every day for lunch and dinner if he could! (ok so he usually does do this for lunch!) i say BORING! i like new
  
  that said, i then get too overwhlemed with possibilities and options and have a hard time figuring out how to plan a week worth of food/grocery shopping so that things all go together into new meals every night.
  
  this usually ends up in frozen meal for dinner! ick! (hubby and son usually eat before i get home... also scary as hubby will decide the golden arches are a good idea... grrr)
  
  so now i am trying to learn how to make meals that freeze well and/or easy to make so hubby will be able to have/server a healthier dinner. (and me too!)
