I didn’t know this was tied to ADHD haha. Some days I’m all about food, but others I realize it’s 7 PM and all I had was a scone all day. Today was such a day.
Low interroception, not necessarily Adhd. Like most symptoms it can come from many angles.
“Oh wow I can barely walk, I guess I should put some peanut butter on some toast or something”
Why turn eating into work?
A banana and a handful of nuts.
No cooking or smearing. No tools required. Just grab it and stick it in your hole.

That’s what… Nah, even I have a “too easy” threshold sometimes 🤷

That’s what she said.
Who has that much time? Just put honey on some peanut butter on bread. Then some milk, for protein. Full meal (not really)!
Just squirt the honey straight into your mouth! (or maple syrup in my case)
Fuck protein, want sugar!
And then I get a tummy ache and I’m still hungry.
peanut butter toast, simple, yummy, filling! People keep thinking i’m wired when I tell them about pb toast, glad to see others talk about it.
PB + banana (or honey if I’m out) is my go-to!
Who doesn’t think peanut butter toast is ‘normal’? Where tf are you from?
“I am enraged at everyone and everything. I want to murder the next fucker that bothers me” is my signal that it’s time to start eating for the day
Migraine alarm clock here. The ultimate painful reminder that I forget everything.
But now I’m in too much pain to make something! Argh, sleep will fix that.
This was me and my ADHD coworker… we never ate at noon - eventually (sometimes at like 430) one of us would turn to the other “You eat yet?” “Oh fuck, I forgot - let’s grab something”
Meal replacements really helped me eat more consistently. I just chug one when i get to work at around 9am and another at 1pm to feel good until i eat dinner. I used to not eat breakfast and snack all day wich was definitely worse.
Which one do you use? I’ve been wanting to do something like this but they all seem kinda gross and expensive, I might try getting like a single bottle or a small pack though.
I got soylent powder for about 4 years and i liked it. I switched to a canadian brand called sperri that use (i think) better ingredients and i like it a lot.
I’ve been using Plenny Shakes for years and I haven’t found anything better. They taste good and actually calm my stomach
I tried all I could find, most gave me farts like hell and made me bloated all day. Basically all of them are overpriced BS with way too much sugar and a bloated marketing budget.
Marketing is indeed a big thing with most. And flatulences as well but it gets better when your gut microbiota adjusts. I wouldn’t say too much sugar though (depends obviously) , especially compared to usual ready meals.
Dissolves sugar in water

I’m actually using complete meal replacement like jimmy joy or huel. If you’re not too picky with taste, it can definitely help with a healthy diet,without much effort.
I’m also surprised how much effect really nutrition has on muscle build-up, as I gained just with this comparatively high protein diet quite a bit (without focusing on that specifically)
Tips! Many ADHD medications have the side effects of appetite suppression. Because of this, it can be a useful routine to eat something when you take your meds, to reduce the likelihood of going too long without food.
This goes doubly if you also have autism and/or other problems with interoception (knowing how your body is feeling/feeling hungry)
got your ‘time to eat’ alarm set to vibrate eh
I’m in this picture and I’d like it to be taken down!
Don’t worry, you’ll forget about it soon.
I wish I could go that long without eating.
Don’t have ADHD. Probably an executive dysfunction thing, but after being medicated, I can feel hungry
Maybe I don’t have ADHD after all 🤔
ADHD is also connected with increased rates of obesity. While some forget to eat, others can’t stop eating in that never ending search for dopamine.
Sigh, not surprised.
Easy solution: just start smoking
Late to this party, but I binge eat when I’m off my meds.
I lost 45 lbs (~20 kilos) the first year I was on meds. Didn’t skip meals or anything - just stopped eating second whole meals after the first.
i have the fat kid flavor of adhd where i eat all the time for the dopamines
Big ol’ box of tasty protein bars save me when this happens! I keep them around for when this inevitably happens… which is often.
I just kind of graze all day.
