Eating the Same Meal each day

I can eat fish and rice seven nights a week and am just wondering if this is an autism thing? 

Is it comfort through repetition maybe?  ......(seems unlikely).

Do others here have similarly bad dietry habits?

  • So i have certain foods that literally make me want to scream or projectile on sight - extreme response i know. i too go through phases and can normally say "its too much to work out WHAT to cook...easier to skip the meal". then i turn to my food of the moment and just indulge in that - at the moment its jam tarts. previously lists of my faves = cheese and tuna toasted sandwiches, cold meatballs, beligan buns, mint aero...i could go on...mine tends to be in cycles and once i dont like it, i almost go off it completely and find something new and stick to that, until im 'bored' of it again. 

  • I am the same as you. I have had food problems since I was 15 yrs old. I have cycles of eating the same until im board with it. But I cant get off the sugar, I just cant stop eating at present. But I have had many serious and distressing things happen in the last few years. I have literally made myself go out for lunch every day for a carvery, or I would just eat junk. I just do not cook anymore except the air fryer foods like pizza.
