What do you want to eat? There's no reason that good whole food needs to be mundane or tasteless or boring.
Some people (me for one) do better with a set rotation of meals just because:
1) they've already worked out the calories/macros
2) fewer decisions on a daily basis
3) limiting choices may yield increased compliance
but none of that equates necessarily to boring, tasteless or mundane.
You're working out, so your formula for maintenance puts you at what, 1600 calories?
That's roughly 400 calories four times a day. Or 400, 400, 600, 200 if you like that split better. You can eat pretty well on that.
Make up some meals that you like, would prepare and would eat and put them into Fitday or something similar and see how they come out.
I tend to have 2 breakfasts in the rotation (weekday and weekend), lunches about the same each week (about 4 days of planned leftovers and 2-3 days of prepared lunches), snacks pretty much the same for a week (and change the next one) and I vary the dinners - but about 8-10 total in the rotation.
