I totally agree with this!
For me personally, I would not like the idea of sticking to the same breakfast and lunch, and only having variety at dinner time. As a few other people in this thread have expressed, I really love food and cooking and exploring a wide variety of foods, and I think I would find myself bored if two thirds of the meals I were eating never changed, and involved the same preparation every time.
Whilst I tend to find myself eating the same breakfasts (I eat cereal, so just eat the same until the box runs out and we change over!), I think if I tried to stick to the same breakfast
and lunch I would get very bored very quickly. Although my lunches tend to be similar or the same for a few days at at time, this is only because I'm making them for just me, and therefore the ingredients cover several servings. I wouldn't deliberately choose to eat the same thing, week in, week out.
I think I understand the premise of the point this chap is making (since for most people, dinner is spent at home and people generally have more time to prepare dinner than they do to make a packed lunch or prepare breakfast before work, and it's good to know a few "stock" healthy meals), but I think it's such an individual thing that it's just not really one of those times when a "one size fits all" solution is very helpful (in my view!). Some people really enjoy eating the same, tasty thing for long stretches of time, and others like to mix it up a bit, so I don't really think this advice would help everyone.
