So one thing that got me thinking about starting this thread is a coworker of mine.
We call him PBM. He is 37, a dedicated bachelor, and unaffiliated simple living guy. Not a minimalist though, as he loves video game systems and has a collection of 100+ bobble heads, for a examples.
But he has been eating the same meals for at least a decade now. Daily.
Breakfast: Ice tea (every M-F at work).
Lunch: Either a green apple or a handful of peanuts or a granola bar. Once a week he gets a Bruegger's bagel for lunch with a couple coworkers when he is in a "Brueg Mood."
Dinner: Can of lentil soup or clam chowder and a spinach salad (just spinach) and some Italian dressing or a bowl of cereal and a few scrambled eggs. Once a week he orders Chinese food.
His diet is supplemented with some beer and some vitamins. haha
That, right there, is my idea of hell, along with getting stuck in a nursing home with an extroverted roommate.But he has been eating the same meals for at least a decade now. Daily.
Soups, particularly my favorites to make: lentil, mushroom bourguignon (not really a soup, but I tend to make it soupy), and chioppino with lots of different fish.
Very high mileage! Great nutrition, and leftovers are even better second time around.

I forgot fancy eggs! A lot of different veggies in scrambled eggs
Lentils are so much easier to cook than other legumes and can be spiced lots of ways.
I never get tired of peanut butter.
The humble potato. I like them baked with a big spoonful of nonfat yogurt, mashed with carrots/turnips/whatever, throw them in soup, use leftover baked potatoes for salads or in home fries.
