In short: Could habitual eating stop weightloss?

Whats the effects on weightloss of habitual eating? For the first month of my program I had a very bad diet and still managed to drop 9lbs so I'm now going to devote myself to a 100% clean diet with fixed calories and macros. The only problem I could see insight is habitual eating.

The diet plan I rigged up consist of the same things pretty well every day except I change breakfast up a day or two as well as dinner.

The diet plan consists of: egg whites,hardboiled eggs, strawberries, bananas, oatmeal, whole wheat bread, skim/2% milk, cheerios, colbyjack string cheese, canned chicken breast, tuna, baked chicken breast,tilapia, potato's, sweet potato's, broccoli, this is pretty well it. I will however eat a big salad once a week(skipping greens more than I should) but does anyone see a problem with the foods i listed?

Almost all of them will be in every days menu except I'll add something more for each day. Example: For dinner one day chicken breast, brown rice. Next day would be chicken breast, brown rice, baked sweet potato. Anyone see how this could hinder weightloss?

I have also asked this question in another thread I posted however that thread isn't focused on this and I'm asking various questions/advice in in. So mods/admins if you feel this thread is inappropriate please remove. Hopefully this one is fine so I can get this question cleared up and be on my way.

Eating the same foods, or even the same exact thing everyday shouldn't hinder weight loss. The only thing that would hinder it, is if you failed to adjust your calories to compensate for weighing less. If you drop 10 pounds, your body will probably require less calories to maintain that weight. All of the things you listed are fine, although the timing of when you eat these things might have a minor effect on overall body composition. Add more vegetables too.

as stated above there is no problem with it ...as long as you consider the calories taken in overall..you can eat the same thing and lose weight...as a experiment i did a pseudo version of the velocity diet for 28 days ...in which all had was whey shakes ,almonds ,in the day and some cottage cheese at night (1800-1900 cals a day total overall food) . i lost 13lb over the 28 days...it is difficult eating the same day in day out ..but it will work...end of daythe food is fuel to your body.
