Has anyone here found eating the same thing everyday to control counting calories to lead to cycling back and binge eating?

For weeks, I was having 4 eggs and 1.5 cups of unsweetened almond milk for breakfast, 9 oz of chicken thighs and a big salad with tomatoes and blue berries for lunch, and a can of black beans and the same kind of salad I had for lunch for dinner, and 250 calories of nuts for a snack. I was exercising to get my TDEE at 2800 calories. This plan was going well until I started to get sick of eating the food and hating the idea of dieting to lose weight.

I think in all my years of cycling, what I've NEVER tried is eating a wide variety of healthy food (whatever I literally feel like eating), but making sure that I eat until I'm full, and tracking what I eat. I have always planned my meals in advance instead of just tracking what I eat.

Could approaching eating to satiety, ignoring achieving a macro quota, and eating whatever you want as long as it's relatively healthy and you track AFTER you eat better than planning to eat the same meal everyday? What successes have you guys had with these approaches?
