The waitress at the cafe no longer asks me what I want for breakfast.
Many athletes eat the same foods every day, day after day, week after week, year after year.
Their typical menu is based upon bagels, turkey breast, pasta, chicken breast, frozen yogurt, and pretzels. But if you eat a repetitive diet and wonder about the healthfulness of this pattern, you might want to think about the benefits of eating more of a variety of foods. Eating a variety of foods helps you consume a wider variety of nutrients. For example, if your only fruit is apples, you'll fail to get the folic acid that's found in oranges. If your primary protein source is chicken breast, you'll miss out on the iron and zinc that's better found in beef.
