Ask a nutritionist: Should I eat the same foods every day? - NBC News

While consistency can create healthy habits and aid in weight loss, it's important to also focus on nutritional diversity.

Search “#mealprep” on any social media platform, and you’ll likely find pictures of the same healthy meal laid out in perfectly portioned containers. Prepping meals at the beginning of the week is becoming increasingly popular for a variety of reasons — time, convenience and health, to name a few. But is eating the same thing everyday a good idea? Like most things in the nutrition realm, the answer isn’t black and white.

Although all registered dietitians have their own nutrition philosophies, most can agree that eating nutritious foods is the key to achieving a healthy lifestyle — and that taking time at the beginning of the week to plan out your meals can make a big difference in how successful you are with sticking to a healthy diet. But is sticking to the same rotation of food combos doing us a disservice? We asked the several experts for their take on eating the same foods everyday.
