Regarding my previous comment about boredom ...
Just an addendum to my previous post -- I didn't mean to suggest my
meals get boring at all because they don't. I know people who don't
like to eat the same thing for lunch or dinner
that they had yesterday, but that's definitely not me. All my meals
consist of things I really like, so I have no problem having them two or
three days in a row. I'm not sure I'd ever get BORED of the breakfast
and lunch choices I have because they're delicious.
My point was that if I had more variety I know I would want to eat more.
Like our Saturday lunch ritual -- every Saturday hubby and I go out to
lunch. We tend to choose from the same two or three favorite places,
but because it's the one meal of the week I can get something different,
something I couldn't make at home, I do tend to eat larger portions.
While I don't have breakfast on those days, it still reinforces that
when I have a lot of variety in my meals, I will eat more.
