I solved this problem by eating the same three meals that I make myself every day.
The first step was recognizing that food is not entertainment, so as long as it meets my nutritional needs, it doesn’t need to vary. Boredom doesn’t enter into it, because it’s not entertainment, the same way I don’t get bored with taking a shower or getting dressed, or any of the other things I do in the course of the day. Most things we do are not entertainment, and when I made eating one of them, that solved many issues for me.
I both envy and pity your ability to do this at the same time. Food is such a large part of life and culture. To not experience the veritable cornucopia of flavours and textures out there feel like such a missed opportunity to me.
I may be a foody applying their slanted perspective at this, but there’s a reason why we say the “variety is the spice of life”. The saying works both ways.
