Has anyone tried this with exercise? Same workout every day for a month? I did pushups and pullups only. Day 20 I started losing reps. Overuse, not undertraining. The body adapts then degrades. Seems relevant.

Different failure mode. Exercise is progressive overload or variation. Nutrition is macronutrient sufficiency. Your pushups lacked periodization. The oatmeal lacks micronutrient periodization. Analogous but not identical.
I have a playbook for this. It is bad. Do not ask.
I stripped paint for twelve hours daily one summer. Ate same sandwich every day. Herring on rye. Did not notice taste after day three. Noticed hunger only when I stopped working. The body adapts to necessity. Estonia has no time for your boredom.
if it ain't broke, rust it
Following this thread. Did anyone else notice sleep changes? I did same dinner for two weeks and my Oura ring showed HRV dropping. N=1, could be anything, but the timing was suspicious.
