Do you have any days where you eat certain things or a night of the week where you have a certain type of cuisine? If you do (not saying you do); what are they? For me, I try to more or less go; Monday: Something bland - still trying to figure out what to eat Monday to be honest; could be ANYTHING from sausage and chips to egg and chips to Chinese chicken curry to chicken black bean sauce to chicken biriyani. Tuesday: 'Salad Day' so like, the big meal for Tuesday is like a salad with small/single sized baguette with this salad of fresh greens (lettuice) and fresh root vegetables (carrots) and even picked root vegetables (beetroot from a jar). The protein for this could be roast chicken or fried bacon or (or both on special occasions) and maybe rarely almost never canned tuna in fresh water, (no brine or oil please) and also I'd have a hard boiled egg into the mix if there's no chicken; and I'd have grated mild cheddar cheese. - That's Salad Day Wednesday: My Italian Day. My Dolmio Day (I never use their sauces, ever, but I love that saying). "When'sa your Dolmio day?" ... For me, it's Wednesday, that's when I have Italian food. I have a family recipe that I grew up on so I make that from scratch, but it's still Wednesay. If I don't make my bolognese or milanese sauces; I'd probably have mac and cheese or a frozen Pizza or whip up an Italian sauce of my own concoction. Thursday: IDK, This has become Turkey Day, but I don't eat that much turkey; so I buy my cats these cats foods (I'm on this diet day thing, may as well get kitties in on this and have their own flavour days too, always have with these cats, so, it's a thing I do)... I give them Turkey flavoured cat food on Thursday, and I guess I'm a nerd for copying Thanksgiving, but, IDK, why not. Friday: I'm not catholic, but, why not have fish on Friday? So it's something I've borrowed from them; way I see it, at least it gets some fish in me. (And of course, kitties get fishy flavours on Friday). Saturday: Splurge; frozen pizza or frozen breaded chicken sporting Southern Fried claims and when I feel like it, Chinese take out I know how to cook. Sunday: I went through a phase of gloating about my Sunday dinners being Chinese take out from my own wok. That got old, nice though, but old. Sunday dinners for me growing up meant; roast meat, gravy, trimmings, everything. So having Chinese take out on a Sunday for me, was novel That got old, but I'd still do that if I don't have roast chicken. If you don't do this, what do you do? Just eat? For my cats it's the same as me but catified for the cats. Monday: Something bland; Poultry flavour - doesn't even tell me what bird (birds) it was, just say 'poultry' so that's Monday for them. Tuesday: They can have Tuna or Chicken flavoured cat food to go with my Salad Day proteins. Wednesday: I giving them Beef flavour on that day. If I have bologenese, they can have the Beef flavoured cat food, no? - I give them Beef on Wednesday. Thursday; I already covered Thursday for them, but it's Turkey Day. Give them Turkey flavoured cat food on Thursday. Friday: Tuna flavoured, if I have Fish Friday, so can they. Cod and Salmon flavours too, they can have. Saturday; since my boy cat was found on a Saturday and his first night with him was a Saturday, I had the Duck Pizza with a friend and I feed him a piece of duck from that pizza as a 'welcome to the neighbourhood' when he got to enjoy his new home he ran away from when I adopted him. So I give them Duck flavoured cat food; and go out of my way to find this, but it comes with Turkey Flavoured too, so that's cool. Sunday: Chicken, they get the Chicken flavour on Sunday. It's not just cat food, I also buy different flavour cat treats and feed them these same flavours of cat treats on specific days too. I figure, it might teach them what day of the week it is if they ever get the Fish and go 'it's fish day, alright!'; but it's also a good way to keep a cat from getting tired of the same flavour, and if I'm honest, working out what to feed my cats serves as a little reminder for me on what day it is today, if I'm honest.
Nope, but I only eat one true meal a day. Sometimes it will be lunch, sometimes dinner. I have gone a couple days without eating at all just because I didn't feel like eating anything. Sometimes I only eat because I know my sugar level is dropping too much. I seldom am hungry. I get more nauseous than hunger when I am overdue for a nosh. Now growing up, our menu was set in stone every week, week after week after week, at least until seasons changed. Spaghetti and meatballs on Sunday was the only thing I really looked forward to. "Fried chicken" on Saturday gagged me then and gags me to think about now. My mom could not cook chicken to save her life.
Yeah, no, you gotta eat. Even if you have to force yourself to eat. Try to eat within the first hour of waking up, this a challenge for me as I'm not hungry first thing, but I still believe in this because this kick starts your metabolism for the day eating within the first hour of waking up, making for a better metabolism; so I have to force myself to eat something within that first hour. Also; this is the best time to get your fats in as this is a good food group to start with. Many cultures have different breakfasts but I think a full English is good since it's greasy and it's a good meal to get your fats in; or the Dutch hagelslag I feel is NL's biggest and best kept secret; Basically, they found a way to have chocolate for breakfast with their chocolatey sprinkles known locally as hagelslag; again, good food for this breakfast group as it's good to get your fats in in your breakfast; so like milk chocolate. The UK has these sugar bombs sold seasonally as Cadbury's Creme Eggs; I've bought these just because of their high sugar/high fat content and because they're small and don't require any cooking; so for laziness and to make sure I eat within that first hour and to get some fats in, I have one of those; they are sweet as Hell and a sugar bomb though.
I have trouble eating full breakfasts, full lunches, or full dinners since I have become so accustomed to not eating particularly big meals, and creme eggs, absolutely not. To me they are just as awful as chocolate covered cherries or alcoholic cordials. I can't make myself even swallow them they are so sickeningly sweet. I mean most days I eat. The couple days not eating will happen like once every month or two because I am just too tired to do it. Today I had a bit of cheese for "breakfast" at lunch I ate a piece of sausage and a slice of sourdough bred, and so far dinner has been about a half a handful of potato chips. I may eat something else or I may not. I feel fine though either way. I don't have some elaborate eating disorder or anything. As an adult I have just gotten into the habit of not having proper regular sit down meals and that makes it harder to even stomach one, especially since I am also having an allergy/sinus thing going on. I cannot even recall the last time my stomach even growled with a hunger pang. I would have been like this as a child but my parents more or less forced me to eat regular meals. I would rather have 5 or 6 quick bites across a day than a couple full plates.
