Every Friday afternoon, Friday after the seudah, Shabbos, and Sunday night  ;D

Yup. That's only about 16, since Sunday night is leftovers and Friday night/mtz"sh don't count. Last month's mains:

Meat: meatballs, BBQ pepper steak, sloppy joes, hamburger steak in onion gravy
Chicken: Chicken with 40 cloves of garlic, ginger-soy grilled chicken, grilled baby chicken salad, garlic chicken stir fry
Fish: Fish tacos/blackened tilapia, honey mustard salmon
Dairy: homemade pizza, penne a la vodka, spinach lasagna, veggie omelets, shakshuka, blintzes
You must not have picky eaters

Eat the same breakfast lunch and dinner for over a year now.
Some slight variations but basically the same.

Picky eaters can have the same food plain (i.e. plain macaroni, plain fish, plain chicken) or a sandwich of their choice. Each child is guaranteed 1 supper per month that they like.

Wow no offense but your kids only like 1 supper a month? I think growing up there was something I liked EVERY night of the month.

I can relate to cholent.

Having a kid that is an extremely picky eater means that we focus on sustenance more that enjoyment. Liking the food is less of a priority.

None taken  ;) It's only 1 kid that doesn't like anything. The only thing that will make her happy is macaroni, and even that not always. They are usually ok with most suppers, but I make sure to include 1 supper a month that is a favorite for each one. If you liked supper every night, you had lucky parents!

Why: To be healthy long term and other dietary restriction. (celiac and a family history of heart disease, start eating healthy from a younger age and "splurge" every so often)
What:
Breakfast: Tea with Honey
Lunch: 1/4 cup rice, 3 eggs (3 white, 1 yolk), 4 white corn tortillas
Dinner: 2 chicken breast tenders, about 10 green beans, 1 large white sweet potatoes, cubed.
Desert: 1 dozen gluten free chocolate chip cookies
Occasional snacks but that about it..

Very hard for me to understand this since my family are regular eaters and not health freaks.   But i dont know if when we both turn 90 i will regret not eating like you or if you will say why didnt i just enjoy life and eat regular stuff...

People who don't eat chocolate don't live longer, they just feel like they do.
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

They dont feel like they do, because living means enjoying the little things, so in reality i feel like i live longer

I do eat differently (slightly) when necessary, like travel etc.
However, my base is healthy eating.

Time flies when you're enjoying yourself... otherwise it just drags on and on.

There definitely are PLENTY options.
However, I use my creative and productive time on work related matters.
