Bored of food

Magnolia1
over 5 years ago

I have such a narrow range of things that I eat I am so bored of food. I need ideas of how I can make new combinations of what I eat. 

I normally do roasts, spaghetti Bolognese, quiche, pie 

I like stew but I got a slow cooker for Christmas and cooked a disastrous one.

I don't like anything too spicy. I eat v mild curry. If I have Chinese I always order the same.

I don't like the taste of alcohol.

I eat:

Broccoli, carrot , green beans, as long as they are cooked within an inch of their lives

Peppers, courgette,  onion if cooked til not crunchy

Potatoes

Meat as long as it doesn't look like it comes from an animal

Cheese

Eggs 

Pasta

Cereal

I like fresh bread but I don't like sandwiches unless they are toasted

    Its so annoying that other people seem to love and enjoy food but for me it's something I eat cos I have to

    There are more enjoyments in life than food.  I can't stand all those programmes on telly messing about with food, the sight of it makes me retch.  But if others enjoy it then it is up to me.

    Just eat what you like, taking supplements if necessary.  Just make sure you are getting a lot of fibre, I regularly have Shredded Wheat for tea, and it seems to make me feel a lot better if I have a cold.  Protein is in every food to some extent (bread has quite a lot of protein, and then there are eggs and milk).

    As well as the flavour it is the texture of a lot of food I don't like, and the smiell, but sometimes mixing up things gives a pleasant surprise - cheese and strawberries (or strawberry jam) and chips and ice cream go surprisingly well together.  Don't mock it till you try it!

    I eat weetabix for breakfast every day.

    It's texture for me too.

    I am with you on boring food tv shows.

    I don't like the texture of most things either.  I recommend not stressing too much about it.  It's not worth stressing yourself out over it.  If you don't enjoy eating there's nothing wrong with that.  Just make sure you are forcing yourself to eat just enough that you don't become ill.  Or, I don't know whether you exercise or workout ever, but maybe increase your activity and you'll feel hungrier and might look forward to eating?
