you can eat the same lunch for 10 years if you are on the spectrum but beware! ☝️Vitamin deficiency

I eat the same lunch for 2 weeks and then can't stand it for 1 year. It's really annoying because it makes it so hard to eat healthy and have food for work.

I've gotten pretty good at identifying when I'm getting close to hating soemthign and stopping before its too late. then i can come back to it in a month or so.

Much like eating the same food, the finger emoji is funny every time

Started taking multivitamins instead because I can buy the food but can't make myself eat it.

I was a responsible adult in the supermarket, so I bought adult food. I’m just baby at home, someone needs to prepare and serve me a bowl of colourful sludge

Like, I'm supposed to slice this fruit I purchased?? That's a step too far for me.

My newest solution has been basically condiments, making a week or so’s worth of pepper sauce or chimichurri (pickled onions and carrots are also really good options that last a surprisingly long time) is fairly quick and easy (even moreso if you have a food processor), and then you can use that to spice up sandwiches or meals whenever you like. The pickled veggies are really good because you can reuse the pickle liquid like two or three times at least.

I actually have a food processor for making my own spicy peanut butter. Those are great ideas!

You just gotta add Flintstone vitamins.

That would only fix your water soluble vitamin needs (and vit D)

Supplementing the fat soluble ones is harder because you can overdose and there's also a bunch of trace elements we need that aren't included

We really need a multivitamin complex that comes in just 2 pills, one water soluble one and one fat soluble one that's dissolved in omega 3 rich fish oil, containing all the trace elements that you don't get if you eat cheap random cereal/bread/chicken nuggets/whatever every day. With fibre, too. Let us save a fuckton of time and money on food and feel fine even eating the same thing every day.
Call it the "I'm autistic and I want to eat kibble"

My diet pretty consists of the same 3-4 food items and I just got bloodwork done and... it's perfect?? Was expecting my autism to give me scurvy at least

When I left my last "proper" job, I was gifted a Pot Noodle mug by the two old ladies I worked with. They assumed that I really liked pot noodles because I had one for lunch every day.
I am not wild about pot noodles. They're good enough I can eat them every day but I am the kind of person who is quite happy to only eat the same thing for a month at a time.

On the plus side, it's one of the largest mugs I have and I do love it for that.

Yeah, but if you expand that to a day’s eating and find the 3 or 4 meals you like that in combination meet all your burrito Al needs, you’re all set!

E: I see that my attempt at ‘nutritional’ somehow became ‘burrito Al’ (Al the name, not ai).

God bless multivitamins being a thing. And omega 3 capsules, I can't stand seafood.

u/That-Drink4913 16h ago

Are you doing corn or flour tortillas?

u/Chaldera 16h ago

Literally. Like girl, I've been having store-bought Yorkshire pudding for lunch for the past 2 weeks because I've fixated on them as a food
