TikTok rumors that Jennifer Aniston ate the same salad every day on the set of Friends for 10 years\u2014but is it bad to eat the same thing every day? An RD breaks down everything you need to know.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

You\u2019re finally home after a long, exhausting day and trying to decide what to eat. But before you can even make a decision, the tiredness washes over you and you revert back to exactly what you had yesterday (and the day before that and the day before that). You\u2019re not alone: It\u2019s incredibly easy to keep one particular meal on repeat.<\/p>\n\n\n

In fact, celebrities supposedly swear by this strategy. According to TikTok, Jennifer Aniston ate the same salad every day on the set of Friends <\/em>for 10 years (though Aniston herself says the salad she ate<\/a> is different than the viral TikTok recipe). She isn\u2019t the only meal repeater: Celebrities are known for their can\u2019t-live-without-them signature smoothies (see: Hailey Bieber\u2019s Strawberry Glaze Smoothie<\/a>), and Mariah Carey has claimed<\/a> she eats only Norwegian salmon and capers. But is it ok to eat the same thing every day? We asked an RD to weigh in.<\/p>\n\n\n

Is It Bad to Eat the Same Thing Everyday?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"eat<\/figure>\n\n\n

In short, no. Eating the same thing every day isn\u2019t bad for you, but it may not be the most healthful option either. There are some cons to it, such as nutrition gaps and burnout<\/a>, says Gaby Vaca-Flores<\/a>, RDN, CLE, educational specialist at HUM Nutrition.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cFor the most part, there are more cons to eating the same thing every day than there are pros,\u201d Vaca-Flores says. So while it\u2019s not the worst thing you can do diet-wise, it\u2019s not the best thing you can do either (sorry to all the creatures of habit out there).<\/p>\n\n\n

What Does Eating the Same Thing Every Day Do To Your Body?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"is<\/figure>\n\n\n

\u201cWhen you eat the same thing over and over again, you run the risk of running low on certain nutrients that may not be present in your daily menu,\u201d Vaca-Flores says. Take for instance the famed Jennifer Aniston salad: It does have an impressive range of carbs, protein<\/a>, and healthy fats<\/a> from bulgur wheat, veggies, fresh herbs, chickpeas, pistachio, feta, turkey bacon, and EVOO.<\/p>\n\n\n

Still, not all go-to meals offer this kind of nutrition. (Plus, even Jennifer Anison would be lacking in certain nutrients if she truly ate this salad every single day.)<\/p>\n\n\n

By sticking to the exact same menu every single day, you\u2019re missing out on the variety of benefits that different foods have to offer. \u201cEating an array of foods, particularly whole foods, can help ensure you are getting a variety of nutrients and other beneficial compounds like fiber<\/a>, prebiotics, and antioxidants,\u201d Vaca-Flores says. \u201cIn fact, diversity in your diet can help promote diversity in your gut microbiome.\u201d (It\u2019s true\u2014studies<\/a> show that a diverse diet creates a more diverse gut microbiome, which can make it more adaptable to changes.<\/p>\n\n\n

Another drawback? A repetitive eating pattern can get boring, especially if it\u2019s a restrictive diet. \u201cFor example, people following a strict meal plan that consists of the same thing daily can cause burnout and consequently cause you to revert back to old eating habits,\u201d Vaca-Flores says.<\/p>\n\n\n

Why It\u2019s Not All Bad to Eat the Same Thing Everyday<\/h2>\n\n\n

Despite some drawbacks mentioned above, there are still benefits to having reliable meal standbys. \u201cThe biggest one, in my opinion, is that it takes away the stress of having to figure out your meals every day,\u201d Vaca-Flores says. \u201cAlso, you\u2019ve probably mastered your meal prep routine which can cut down cooking time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

It\u2019s also a useful strategy if your goal is weight loss<\/a>. \u201cEating the same thing every day can also help give you control over how many calories and macronutrients you eat which might be helpful for someone who is looking to manage their weight,\u201d Vaca-Flores adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Avoid Eating the Same Thing Every Day<\/h2>\n\n\n

Stuck in a rut and want to boost your gut health<\/a> and prevent nutrient deficiencies<\/a>? Here are three ways you can avoid eating the same thing every day.<\/p>\n\n\n

Plan Your Meals Ahead of Time<\/h3>\n\n\n

Take away the stress of making a game-time weeknight dinner decision by planning your meals in advance. By knowing ahead of time, it won\u2019t feel like too much work or stress to execute. \u201cIt can help to \u2018menu plan\u2019 some of your favorite meals<\/a> and cycle them throughout the week to ensure that you are getting variety while also maintaining the perks of having a routine eating pattern,\u201d Vaca-Flores.<\/p>\n\n\n

Meal Prep<\/h3>\n\n\n

\u201cAs a dietitian who hat<\/a>e<\/a>s cooking<\/a>, I meal prep once or twice per week several different dinner options with three to four different protein, carb, and fat staples so that I can easily make a variety of meal combinations,\u201d Vaca-Flores says.<\/p>\n\n\n

Another pro tip from Vaca-Flores? Cook your proteins with different sauces and seasonings to add flavor and variety. \u201cFor example, on one baking sheet, I might have one salmon filet marinated in teriyaki, another filet seasoned with garlic and salt, and another with rosemary and lemon pepper,\u201d she says. \u201cYou can also challenge yourself to add one or two new (or seasonal) foods to your grocery haul each week to help keep things exciting at meal time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Keep Your Daily Diet Simple<\/h3>\n\n\n

It may be tempting to constantly switch up your meals and try new things. But if you\u2019re prone to eating the same thing every day, Vaca-Flores says it can be helpful to keep your daily diet as simple as possible. \u201cNo need to get granular about exactly how many different types of foods you should eat every day,\u201d she says. Instead, just try cycling through your favorite meals throughout the week.<\/p>\n\n\n
