I actually do this.

I try to follow a low-carb diet and it's really easy to follow when you spend a Sunday cooking everything at once, then the rest of the week, reheating from that same menu.

Don't drink coffee, alcohol, or eat sweets/desserts except for fruit. Exclusively drink water, unsweetened almond/coconut milk.

I've asked some of my friends in college and for them, the notion of eating the same things every day is unfathomable. At least for someone who doesn't value food highly or today's culture around food, the benefits are immense.

The time you save that you'd usually spend casually browsing "where to eat" and "what to eat" is substantial. The time saved cooking along + just thinking about food in general.

It just takes one morning to cook it all together and prep for the week. Potatoes are a nice comfort and chicken is roasted whole.

Breakfast: 2-3 eggs, baked potatoes, 2 strips of bacon, with two corn tortillas.

Lunch (if needed, usually skip): Small bowl of homemade chia seed pudding with dark chocolate + strawberries and/or apple.

Dinner: Chicken, potatoes, broccoli/bacon/onion/carrots.

I walk on average 6-10 miles/day and run for 4 every other. Try to eat more fats/protein. Don't crash with this menu and can eat x2 volume if particularly hungry that day without worry.
