ADHD can affect eating in ways we don’t talk about enough. 🥲
Here are 5 things I wish I understood sooner:
1️⃣ You can literally forget to eat.
When I’m hyperfocused, hunger cues can become background noise until suddenly I’m starving, irritated, exhausted, or overstimulated.
2️⃣ Knowing you need to eat ≠ being able to make yourself cook.
Sometimes it’s not the food. It’s deciding WHAT to eat, getting the ingredients, prepping, cooking, and then cleaning everything afterward. 😭
3️⃣ We can get obsessed with one food… then suddenly hate it.
I’ll eat the same thing every day because it’s safe and easy until one day my brain decides: absolutely NOT. 😂
4️⃣ We may reach for quick dopamine.
Convenient, highly rewarding foods can feel much easier to choose when our brain is looking for stimulation, especially when we’re tired, overwhelmed, or haven’t eaten enough.
5️⃣ Making food easier is sometimes more helpful than trying to make it “perfect.”
Pre-cooked protein, microwave meals, frozen foods, shakes, snack plates… it ALL counts.
This is exactly why I stopped making nutrition unnecessarily complicated.
I created my 50 Easy High-Protein Meals ebook for people who want to eat more protein without spending their entire life meal prepping. 😂
Easy meals. High protein. Minimal effort. 🫶🏼
Comment PROTEIN and I’ll send you the link. 💪🏼 #protein #eatinghabits #adhdlife
