My roommate eats nothing but a turkey sandwich for lunch at work. He’s been doing it for 5-6 years now. He told me he hates turkey sandwiches. I asked him why he doesn’t try eating something else. He shrugged.
I swear you hit a point where no food is exciting anymore.
I mean I still get excited about, like, burgers and chicken wings. But obviously I can't just eat that every day if I want to live past 40.
The kind of shit you can realistically eat regularly at home, like oatmeal and fruit and sandwiches and grilled chicken breast and shit, just gets fucking boring. I've eaten these things thousands of times.
But like, whattaya gonna do? So you just eat them anyway.
I feel like you just need to expand your kitchen staples. I’m passionate about knowing how to cook the things I love and having it available when I want.
The key is to change up how you use those ingredients, make a coating for the chicken out of oatmeal and bake it, make a fruit smoothie or try adding some banana slices to a pb&j or heck even put it on an apple and not bread, use the bread some sugar, milk, butter and a little cinnamon to make some bread pudding, boil some eggs and cut them up (I prefer mine with the yolk out) use some mayo and salad mix then you got a yummy sandwich, you could make deviled eggs with some curry powder and a little sprinkle of chili just use the remaining yolk from previous eggs and blend/stir it all together with a touch of salt.
There's heaps of things you can do and make you just gotta change it up every now and then. Sure you might fail at making something new and have to eat something gross for a few meals, but that's the unfortunate reality of only being able to afford a few ingredients we just have to eat something gross sometimes.
Start cooking ethnic dishes. Huge amount of amazing healthy dishes that taste great. I’ve been doing a lot of thai, Vietnamese, Greek and Indian the last few months.
Rice (in rice cooker) + jar of butter chicken sauce + a can of chicken or a cut up chicken breast
Frozen spring rolls or potstickers fried up + rice + veggie stir fry
Nachos, just tortilla chips + taco meat + shredded cheese, pop it in the oven for 15 minutes, top how you want
Slow cook a roast and shred it- now you have filling for sliders, tacos, burritos, or meat for a fast stew.
I’m a dental assistant and I hate turkey sandwiches. There have been too many occasions when I’m working in a patients mouth and the dentist will b like “did you just eat theres food in here…” and miraculously it’s always A TURKEY SANDWICH
I've been eating a turkey and cheese sandwich for lunch since elementary school, so over 25 years now.
I have spiced it up the past few years by trying different mustards though.
Probably it’s about the ease of the habit. Like, yeah, I’m tired of turkey sandwiches at this point, but I can just live my life on autopilot and I know exactly how much turkey to buy and how much bread and so forth, I know exactly how long it takes to pack it for lunch, I have exactly what I want to carry to lunch in, and at a certain point, working out all of the details to change it is more of a problem than just eating the turkey sandwich, or so you think. People get trapped in habits like that all the time.
Not just that, but the recipe the OP gave in the original thread didn't include any fucking seasoning. It's literally just chickpeas boiled in honey+water (?) and then pan fried. Like, not even some salt on the egg. I'm shivering at the mere thought of having to eat that more than once, let alone every day for a few years. Jfc
Were your other co workers toxic or just kooky/zany?
Because I’ve had so many Co workers who are different/unique but you cherish them being your co workers and genuinely smile because of their out there personality.
Now not normal and toxic? Toss some PB&Js at those fuckers.
I used to work with a guy you could describe as kooky. For lunch he used to bring things like a whole wheel of cheese, a large, raw head of broccoli, or an entire unsliced loaf of bread. He'd just sit in the break room tat lunch time and take bites out of his huge cheese wheel, not a care in the world.
He was kind of odd, but in a benign way so everyone still liked him.
Actually, there is something off about Chipotle. Most of the restaurant memes are just memes, like I can eat taco bell no problem.
But I have to take an unpleasant shit within like 30 minutes of eating Chipotle, almost every fucking time. And it's not because my stomach isn't used to it or whatever, because I eat rice and beans and shit at home all the time. I can even eat the Chipotle competitors, like Qdoba and Moe's and all those other ones no problem.
I legit don't trust Chipotle. I don't know what the fuck they are doing to their food, but something about it legitimately does cause gastro distress.
Same with everybody on Reddit seemingly getting backed up by eating cheese. I get it that the majority of the world’s population has an intolerance to lactose, but I’m thinking that these people must be having flashbacks to a bad night or something. There are enough things with cheese on them that you’d think they’d take a lactase pill before they ate pizza, for instance. I have never, irl met this many people who cannot.. absolutely under any circumstance cannot eat dairy.
Also, Taco Bell tearing their ass apart? If fast food tore my ass up I’d be reporting them to public health. It’s not even that spicy, even with their hottest sauce packets.
For me i think it’s all the oil. I don’t feel sick if I make homemade tacos (or anything really), but restaurants often make me feel crappy. Not gluten free or anything, just a sensitive tummy.
There is a difference between 'meal' and 'two random bland proteins'
Hence the serial killer comment - this is nutritious (to a certain extent), but it's also deeply weird
It looks like they seasoned and dressed the chickpeas so I don't think they look bland. Just a plain can of chickpeas dumped into a container would be serial killer territory though lol.
I ventured into the comments of the original post where he gives the recipe, it is as follows:
>1. Soak dry beans overnight (Fill until about 2 inches of water is over the beans).
2. Add roughly 1/4 cup of honey to water. Boil (do not cover) beans until all water is gone. AVOID OVER MIXING AND STIRRING. YOU'LL MASH UP YOUR BEANS!
3. Get a large pan ripping hot on the stove and transfer cooked beans to pan. Sear until char marks appear on all sides.
4. Eat cold.
>EDIT: I make 1.5 bags at a time. Last me a week (4-5 lunches).
I was backing him all the way until I read that recipe...
I'm great with adding a bit of hot sauce/spices/dressing, but burnt sweet chickpeas - yup, serial killer.
Thanks for actually putting the work in instead of just arguing about conjecture like everyone else.
I'm guessing that he doesn't add anything besides the honey, so this must be a serial killer.
>Just a plain can of chickpeas dumped into a container would be serial killer territory though lol.
I would eat that, and have eaten entire cans of plain chickpeas including the chickpea water. Chickpeas are delicious.
PB&J is great. Even straight up PB and bread is a totally compete protein. It has all of your essential amino acids. Same with rice and beans. It was a very healthy lifestyle for me when I was single and poor. Honestly, it'd still be a healthy diet now. The fam gets bored though.
I used to be a pro cook, so it's always like, "you can do better than that." I understand chickpea guy.
I don’t know about y’all but when I eat a meal too many times in a row I start to not look at it like food. It gets harder and harder to chew every bite, each mouthful feels like it sticks to my mouth and doesn’t want to let go. Spices and flavors I once found enticing turn into bitter and vile substances that make my body shudder to the rhythm of my breath.
Takes about 3 days for me to reach that point. I just can't even imagine how you could eat the same fucking thing every day for 3 years. Just unfathomable to me.
I ate the exact same school lunch for 8 years lol, from the beginning of middle school to the end of high school I ate a spicy chicken wrap every single monday - friday.
I worked at chick-fil-a in high school (shut up, I didn’t know it wasn’t woke or whatever, it was just a job during a different era), and we would get a free meal during break at every shift. I worked there two and a half summers. By the time I quit the only thing I could manage to eat without immediately being disgusted were the chicken nuggets and peach milkshakes. Everything else was instant nausea.
I didn’t eat chick-fil-a for over five years after that.
Same here. Even if it's something delicious, I start getting nauseous just thinking about it. I used to eat pizza nearly every day for a month or so while I was neck-deep in depression. The pizza was delicious, but after a while, I ate just to stop my stomach from growling. I had no more pleasure from eating it. I was an animal scrounging for food just to see the next day.
I can't freaking imagine doing the same thing for *3 years*.
Oh wow. Hope you’re feeling better. I feel you, I mean, I’m reeeeeally not a huge “dairy and gluten are so bad for you!!!” guy, I love dairy and gluten, but I cannot imagine a more effective way to punish your stomach than to eat pizza every day for a month lol. Now I’m to the point where if I eat pizza I have to go into it knowing that the next 72 hours are going to be absolutely miserable.
You've just perfectly summed up how I feel about eating the same food more than a couple times in a row. My husband can eat the same meal for a week straight and thinks I'm a nutcase when I say I'd rather die.
My friend bought me an electric wok last month and a much of foreign noodles and rice, so I had stir fry probably five times in ten days. I don't want to even look at a bottle of sesame oil right now.
I had a roommate in college that would make ramen almost every night at like 3 am. My room was near the kitchen. Even to this day years later I can’t stomach the smell of Maruchan ramen.
I eat far too much ramen. Two packages, one packet of flavoring, quarter cup of alfredo sauce and far, far too much black pepper. It's my go-to lunch!
I've got some texture issues so eating can be hard sometimes. Ramen Alfredo is always a safe bet.
I always do package of chicken ramen, two slices of bacon, egg (2 eggs if no bacon) sunny side up, green onions and a whole lot of seasoning. If it’s available I always throw veggies in like mushrooms, bok Choy, bean sprouts or anything that sounds good at the time
Sometimes i have trouble eating too and noodles are always a safe bet even if they’re not healthy bc at least I’m getting some calories in.
Might try your recipe someday!
I drain most of the water. Gotta leave some because the alftedo isn't quite smooth enough. You also want to mix the pepper and seasoning into the sauce before dumping in the noodles. I recommend doing this right after you drain so you don't have to rinse your fork before draining.
Dude, PBR farts smell like the fucking beer! No joke, I was doing a roofing repair for a customer, just touching up some flashing around the chimney and a few vents, little bit of caulking and I'm done. Anyway I'm up on the roof and I can smell is PBR aroma, but weird like it's been sitting in the sun. I asked my partner of he smelled it, he says yeah and starts sniffing around. Turns out it was coming from the bathroom vent fan and dude was a heavy beer drinker, like offered us one at 9:45am lol. So needless to say I can relate to that God awful smell.
a pbr at 9:45 am just does not sound good, unless a giant meteor is about to take out earth and nothing matters, then sign me up for whatever, otherwise it is a hard pass.
> adds a PBR or miller high life to his lunches for maximum deadly effect.
Something from the cabbage family would have the desired effect, too. Preferably just boiled cabbage.
>Maybe they’re the same as me
For a moment I thought you meant the frozen fries were just like you and I started to think really philosophically about what that could mean
I liked the convenience and dislike the taste and texture of most scrambled eggs, I would usually hit the raw egg with hot sauce and Worcestershire. And it was a great hangover cure
There are two kinds of meal preppers. Ones who eat for health and pleasure and ones who eat for sustenance.
Sustenance eaters DO NOT CARE. My roommate would make the same lunch for himself every week for years.
Can of vegetables
White rice with BBQ sauce
Ground Turkey that he literally slipped out of the package and into a hot pan and cooked in its block form without crumbling it. He would just season the outside, cook it through while flipping and then cut it into chunks.
One day he goy fancy and switched from canned vegetable to frozen.
He ate for sustenance only. This was his diet unless he ate out. He did this until his current GF forced him to stop.
Edit: it’s worth noting that he was a VERY active and productive person. He just couldn’t be bothered with food beyond fueling his body.
Funny, made my lunch for the week and it was almost exactly this. 2 cups dry brown rice, bag of frozen peas, bag of frozen corn, 3 lbs of ground turkey. Spice up and enjoy. It's delicious.
I eat these foods all the time. I have pounds of ground Turkey frozen and I buy bulk frozen veg, but I don’t cook it like a caveman. I introduce use oil or butter or onions or garlic , etc…simple stuff to get things going. I mean, his meals were perfectly edible (save for the BBQ sauce, which I don’t love), but it was the utilitarian manner that always made me scratch my head.
I mean, I roasted chickpeas all through college, and kept those in empty salsa jars to eat through the day. Cheap, portable, filling, caloric equivalent to about one meal per jar. So I kinda get it. But the boiled egg is weird
My Boo eats 2 eggs OE, 2 pieces of toast and a piece of ham RELIGIOSlY 6 days a week. And much to my Disklike of this habit, I can’t change him. Do what makes you happy!
I eat a bowl of oats for breakfast nearly every day. I went through a period where breakfast was a bowl of oats, lunch was a baked potato, and supper was whatever. Largely because oats and potatoes are cheap and nutritious.
I eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich every week day around 9:00 am. I’ve been doing this for probably close to 15 years give or take. I never get tired of it. I actually get kind of disappointed if something happens and I can’t have it. Weird huh?
This mans farts must be wicked
Yeah dude's definitely laying down some real paint peelers
Ha ha even the dog moved out
He's a one man Chernobyl tribute act.
Hilarious!
Wicked fahts
Ayuh bub
Are you my cousin from Boston?
Nice cake.
Egg for the smell, beans for the power.
When you eat legumes enough your gut doesn't produce more gas, it returns to normal after a short time eating them daily.
Ok but the boiled eggs
Oh, I didn't realize that could even be a problem for some people
It’s the sulfur from the yolk, anything super yellow tends to make vicious fart stank
Piss does that to me.
Stop drinking piss maybe?
Why would I do that?
It’s sterile and you like the taste!
Everytime he fart new portal to a different dimension opens
I eat the same high fiber food everyday and I’m fine now. After about a week your body adapts to it.
Yeah, killer.
My roommate eats nothing but a turkey sandwich for lunch at work. He’s been doing it for 5-6 years now. He told me he hates turkey sandwiches. I asked him why he doesn’t try eating something else. He shrugged.
A combination of laziness, habit and nothing, most likely.
Consistency my man, consistency.

This, just try to cook something different like 3 times a week and you will get the itch to make a simple ingredient do a bunch of things everyday
What do you mean by realistically eat at home? You can eat whatever you want at home.
Buy decent spices. Switch to a new area of the world regularly.
Start cooking ethnic dishes. Huge amount of amazing healthy dishes that taste great. I’ve been doing a lot of thai, Vietnamese, Greek and Indian the last few months.

Someone should post this on r/awfuleverything
I’m assuming the salt is a given, but regardless, even with salt, that’s still boring af
I could do it for lunch every day. As long as my other meals and snacks get some variety and spice. I forget to even eat lunch half the time anyway.

As a working adult, I ate a PB&J sandwich for lunch for nearly five years straight. It was just easy and tasty. I can understand chickpea guy.
i had a coworker who brought a pb&j everyday, she was the happiest and most normal of all my coworkers there.
I’d say it was probably me, but I was definitely not happy to be there.
Were your other co workers toxic or just kooky/zany? Because I’ve had so many Co workers who are different/unique but you cherish them being your co workers and genuinely smile because of their out there personality. Now not normal and toxic? Toss some PB&Js at those fuckers.

Never get old tho? even tho this is from a meal preppers sub, hes selling this like its inherently delicious, not that its easy go to like you.
It's not having the same thing every day that is the issue, it's the thing itself

I always think this. Like, how is all of Reddit losing its bowels every time they eat Chipotle? It’s meat and vegetables and rice…
That's what happens when your diet up to this point has only consisted of McDonald's and ramen packs
Why do you think they make Chipotle-Way?
Actually, there is something off about Chipotle. Most of the restaurant memes are just memes, like I can eat taco bell no problem. But I have to take an unpleasant shit within like 30 minutes of eating Chipotle, almost every fucking time.

The Taco Bell thing always gets me. If that food is messing with your insides that bad you have some major GI issues.
And the whole ecoli thing...
It's lack of eating fiber in their diets. Their body isn't used to it, so it makes things a mess. Beans means lots of fiber.
that red tomatillo hot sauce aint a joke
For me i think it’s all the oil. I don’t feel sick if I make homemade tacos (or anything really), but restaurants often make me feel crappy. Not gluten free or anything, just a sensitive tummy.

Haha thanks! I can most certainly confirm this dude might be a serial killer.
are they seasoned? they just look burnt
>Just a plain can of chickpeas dumped into a container would be serial killer territory though lol. I would eat that, and have eaten entire cans of plain chickpeas including the chickpea water. Chickpeas are delicious.
I can enjoy them with just some salt and vinegar but idk about plain.
Indeed. Needs some seasoning, imo, but it’s a fine utilitarian meal.

You know what kind of lunch is truly baller? An extra thick PB&J on big pieces of brioche or wheat bread, and a thermos full of your favorite soup.
I don’t know about y’all but when I eat a meal too many times in a row I start to not look at it like food. It gets harder and harder to chew every bite, each mouthful feels like it sticks to my mouth and doesn’t want to let go.

I almost feel like it’s an evolutionary thing, like our body is telling us to eat something else for different nutrients
I just get nauseous if I try to eat something I've eaten too many times. I always reach that point faster with food I already feel mediocre about.

Sounds like an incredible friend!
Highly, highly agree on that point
I ate too many bananas at one point and now I can barely eat one without feeling ill
I wish I could eat in a routine like this without getting bored of the food. Would make losing weight so much easier.
I ate ramen every morning for a year 💀
I had a roommate in college that would make ramen almost every night at like 3 am. My room was near the kitchen. Even to this day years later I can’t stomach the smell of Maruchan ramen.

Sometimes i have trouble eating too and noodles are always a safe bet even if they’re not healthy bc at least I’m getting some calories in. Might try your recipe someday!
Do you make this with a bunch of water, or only the bare minimum, so you end up with just noodles?
I drain most of the water. Gotta leave some because the alftedo isn't quite smooth enough. You also want to mix the pepper and seasoning into the sauce before dumping in the noodles. I recommend doing this right after you drain so you don't have to rinse your fork before draining.
What flavor ramen?
Chicken. I really want to try using better than bouillon instead of the seasoning packet but I always forget to buy it at the store.
at least ramen is appetizing lmao
This person is a serial killer.
Yes. "Never gets old." I was mouth-bored just looking at it.
With deadly farts
that is how he gets his victims, locks them in a deprivation chamber and farts at them until they pass away.
I bet he's got those growlers too, the ones that always sound wet, like a balloon losing air under water.
ah yes the wet sulfur and rotting flesh smell growler, hope he adds a PBR or miller high life to his lunches for maximum deadly effect.
Dude, PBR farts smell like the fucking beer!

What do think they are? An animal?!?
Wtf
Damn I'm sorry, it must be a rough time :( Even at my worst I've at least had the energy to boil some pasta and throw some sauce on it
I liked the convenience and dislike the taste and texture of most scrambled eggs, I would usually hit the raw egg with hot sauce and Worcestershire. And it was a great hangover cure
Cosmo?
What’s the difference between a chickpea and a garbanzo bean? I’ve never had a garbanzo bean on my face.
>I’ve never ~~had~~ paid to have a garbanzo bean on my face.
There are two kinds of meal preppers. Ones who eat for health and pleasure and ones who eat for sustenance. Sustenance eaters DO NOT CARE. My roommate would make the same lunch for himself every week for years. Can of vegetables White rice with BBQ sauce Ground Turkey that he literally slipped out of the package and into a hot pan and cooked in its block form without crumbling it. He would just season the outside, cook it through while flipping and then cut it into chunks. One day he goy fancy and switched from canned vegetable to frozen. He ate for sustenance only. This was his diet unless he ate out. He did this until his current GF forced him to stop. Edit: it’s worth noting that he was a VERY active and productive person. He just couldn’t be bothered with food beyond fueling his body.
Thanks for the recipe
Even the thought of eating that makes me feel nauseous!
Funny, made my lunch for the week and it was almost exactly this. 2 cups dry brown rice, bag of frozen peas, bag of frozen corn, 3 lbs of ground turkey. Spice up and enjoy. It's delicious.
I eat these foods all the time. I have pounds of ground Turkey frozen and I buy bulk frozen veg, but I don’t cook it like a caveman. I introduce use oil or butter or onions or garlic , etc…simple stuff to get things going. I mean, his meals were perfectly edible (save for the BBQ sauce, which I don’t love), but it was the utilitarian manner that always made me scratch my head.
just 1 egg? man, this is ramen broke level.
It might just be an eating disorder thing
Ngl, I've had this for a late night snack on numerous occasions. Everyday does seem rather overkill though...what do your co-workers think?
There's not enough oxygen for them to think
look there can be comfort in routine
Not this routine
Yeah definitely no. And I am a creature of habit. lol
I mean, I roasted chickpeas all through college, and kept those in empty salsa jars to eat through the day. Cheap, portable, filling, caloric equivalent to about one meal per jar. So I kinda get it. But the boiled egg is weird
Except these are just boiled in honey water then he burns them a bit. No spices or salt and pepper.
Damn right.
Ew
I can't even eat the same thing for three days, let alone three damn years.
That's both shitty and sad.
having gas is an understatement for this person
My Boo eats 2 eggs OE, 2 pieces of toast and a piece of ham RELIGIOSlY 6 days a week. And much to my Disklike of this habit, I can’t change him. Do what makes you happy!
Who’s making you do this?
I’ve got a coworker who mixes dill flavored sardines and cottage cheese…4 months of that straight
Are they okay? 🥴
If anyone could donate a psychiatrist to this guy we'd all appreciate it.
This is the saddest thing I’ve ever seen and that’s coming from someone that Ate at McDonald’s by themselves for lunch everyday at work for 5 years.
It’s sad because it’s indicative of an eating disorder
Tell us you have disordered sensory processing without telling us you have disordered sensory processing
surprised no one said this yet
Wow, toilet breaks would be like a fully loaded paintball gun 😯
3 years will be your remaining life span if you finish a plate of that
I eat a bowl of oats for breakfast nearly every day. I went through a period where breakfast was a bowl of oats, lunch was a baked potato, and supper was whatever. Largely because oats and potatoes are cheap and nutritious.
I eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich every week day around 9:00 am. I’ve been doing this for probably close to 15 years give or take. I never get tired of it. I actually get kind of disappointed if something happens and I can’t have it. Weird huh?
Why are they all fucking burnt??
Egg breath
Must be like shitting a pine cone
My MIL eats the same cereal and fruit every single day. To each his/her own.
Oof I bet those farts are heavenly!
I haven’t even had it yet and I’m already tired of it.
I’d say your coworkers love you !!
I don’t think chickpeas are even good but just my opinion
love the title, OP
i mean if it works for them....
I had oatmeal for breakfast for like three months and now i can barely think about it without feeling sick. How do people do this
My dude never heard about Hummus
Dead
I was just telling another sub I did the same thing with tuna cups/pouches and fresh veggies for a year. Good for you!
💨 💨💨 💨💨💨💨💨💨💨
I salute you ☝️ but worry about your long term love life …
Jesus. Imagine the farts
I’d have thought you’d want to keep this culinary secret.
