Weight loss tip: Eat the same thing? How boring!

I have a friend who is also on the path of a healthy lifestyle. He's at his lowest weight and I celebrate his success. Of course I want the same success during my weight loss journey. I wanted to know his weight loss tips.

Weight Loss Tip #1
Eat the same thing for breakfast just keep it to 1/4 of your daily calories.

Weight Loss Tip #2
Eat the same thing for lunch just keep it to 1/4 of your daily calories.

I have to sit here and say "How boring!" Don't get me wrong. I think that they are great weight loss tips. It would be an easy way to keep on track. I just don't think I could see myself eating the same thing every day.

I also disagree that dinner should be where most of the calories are eaten. At night our bodies are slowing down. Why put a lot of calories in our body when we are only going to be using 400 calories to repair itself when we sleep.

Secondly, there are too many healthy foods and seasonings out there to try. I personally think that boredom might be the cause of someone slipping back into their own eating habits. How is a person going to enjoy meals if they do not try new flavors and textures.

So my weight loss tips are:

Weight Loss Tip #1
Eat 1/4 of your daily calories at breakfast

Weight Loss Tip #2
Don't forget healthy snacks

Weight loss Tip #3
Eat 1/4 of your daily calories at lunch

Weight loss Tip #4
Eat 1/4 of your daily calories at dinner

Weight loss tip #5 
Be adventurous with spices

Weight loss tip #6
Try new foods and find new ways to make your favorites!
