ADHD cooking

I guess fixing a day to prepare your protein meals just to be ready for the cooking

I listen to an audiobook when cooking, so if I want to hear another chapter, I need to cook.

I usually eat high protein low carb pudding when I'm starving but have no appetite nor willpower to cook. You could also try protein bars. Or I just force myself to crack a few eggs in a non stick pan and have them scrambled with some salt, takes no time and I eat out of the pan once it cools. Snacking on simple no fuss foods, like someone else said in the previous comments, is okay and no one should feel bad about it, especially if they have difficulty cooking

I joke that I eat like a toddler but it helps me to have quick snacks I can grab and not think about. So even if I don’t eat a “meal” I have snacked all day… it helps with consistent protein intake and leveling blood sugar throughout the day. I have trouble getting started cooking a meal bc nothing ever sounds good (my stimulant effects my appetite) so if I take the pressure off myself to decide and cook a whole ass meal, I don’t punish myself mentally for not doing it but I am still fueling my body with protein shakes, peanut butter, oatmeal, cheese sandwiches, applesauce pouches. Toddler food. 😊

We use Hellofresh, but it may not be in everyone's budget. One thing you can try is pick a healthy carb, a healthy protein, and a healthy veg that can be combined in many different ways. Then you cook a bunch of it before the week begins and use it as the cornerstone of different meals.
