What do you eat?

Post Reply New Topic

While eating my nightly dinner of watermelon and seaweed, I acknowledged to myself that some might find this combination unusual. Autistics are notoriously picky eaters. I was interested in knowing what others here had for dinner, or what anyone's atypical eating habits might be.

Breakfast: cereal (I have two that I switch between)
Lunch: usually soup or leftovers
Afternoon snack: crackers and cheese
Dinner: whatever my mom cooks
Evening snack: apple

Tonight I had a Burger King rodeo chicken sandwich for dinner.

Dinner begins promptly at 6:25. Small bites until 6:29, then three big bites to finish it off. Tomorrow night will be a cheeseburger, likely from McDonald's. They're next up in the rotation of a few.

I used to like Dr. Pepper.

Today I had:
Breakfast: oatmeal & coffee
Lunch: leftover curry & a nectarine
Snack: protein bar & coffee
Dinner: Salad & toast

Cereal with milk
Piece of fruit
Veggies for lunch
Meat and potato or rice sometimes peas
Junk food a third of the time.

LOL....I just stopped liking the flavor.

Chicken with rice and vegetables. Done up basicly like a soup or stew. This a type of meal I eat on a regular basis. Lots of times I opt for this instead of whatever the family is eating.

I haven't been diagnosed but I'm a very fussy eater. Before I met my GF I ate the same thing everyday ( tuna , sweetcorn , potatoes , pasta & salad cream ). She has tried to beat it out of me and it slightly worked. There are only 3 vegtables I like. I also like my food seperated on the plate and usually eat it one group at a time eg If I had Steak , Chips & Baked Beans , I would eat the beans first ( I swallow them whole , cant chew them ) , then the chips , then steak.

As a child my mother always described me as a finicky eater because I refused to eat anything that was either green or orange. That still applies today. Relatives seem surprised that I always add lots of cinnamon and ginger to soup when I make it.

I am a picky eater. I also have a lot of foods that make me sick to my stomach. I cannot properly digest animal proteins and milk upsets my stomach as well. I would be a vegan, except for my love of cheese and honey.

I think my food weirdness most shows in the amount of foods I self prepare. I don't, for example, eat a lot of store bought bread. I make my own flat breads or biscuit type things. I don't buy store bought pizza, I make my own. I also am not a fan of that spaghetti sauce type of pizza sauce... I prefer olive oil, basil and garlic sauce, so I put those things on my pizzas instead. I do not buy ice cream because of my milk issues and the vegan options are really expensive... but someone bought me an ice cream maker years ago so I use canned coconut milk, some mashed up bananas and a little cinnamon.

For dinner last night I seasoned cubed sweet potatoes, coated them in oil, used garlic, chili powder, pepper, basil, and oregano... then baked that stuff. I also had leftover apple salsa I made. I piled that stuff into a tortilla and added some cheese and it turned out to be a pretty good burrito. I wish I could have had black beans to add, but I ran out of them.

I eat regular food, I enjoy spicy food and exotic cuisine. I don't have gut problems so anything is fine, but I'm lactose intolerant so I prefer kefir or fermented dairy over straight milk (yuck).

I do not eat any animals and avoid gluten and excess dairy. I LOVE smoothies and need food with LOTs of bold flavors. Bland foods make me gag.
