I am quite aware that my meals are very boring because it is the same thing everyday and everytime. I do believe that being consistent is the best way to judge whether you are gaining muscles or just gaining fat, and vice versa for losing weight. When I get stuck on the scale for about 2 weeks, I will start to increase my calories by about 300. The increase in calories usually come from whole grains such as oatmeal and brown rice.
I try to stay consistent all the time, but I do have to be realistic sometimes when I hang out with friends so I end up pigging out once in a blue moon. You have to enjoy a great meal every now and then so you won't go insane.
I get a few e-mails asking me what supplements do I take. The only supplements I take are fish oil, multivitamin tablet, and protein powder. I strongly believe that the best supplements out there are food and water. Most of the time you're not seeing muscle gains is because of your diet. Honestly, stop taking millions of dollars worth of "muscle building guaranteed" supplements, and focus more on what needs to be done for your diet.
