“Oh wow I can barely walk, I guess I should put some peanut butter on some toast or something”
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!
A thick cut of toasted bread (e.g. sour dough) with bananas, honey, and almond butter is an insanely tasty treat.
Apparently Elvis enjoyed Peanut butter, banana, and bacon sandwiches. I personally recommend bac’n bits. Real bacon makes the sandwich too greasy
Who doesn’t think peanut butter toast is ‘normal’? Where tf are you from?
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 🤷

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.
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.
“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
The first thing I do when I come downstairs is drink 4oz (120ml) of juice. Next priority is to get the caffeine monkey off my back. Only then can I risk human interaction.
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.
Excedrin, darkness, migraine cap and sleep. Only cure I have.
I hate it because it doesn’t go away when I eat and hydrate for a long time, ough
Yes! Same here
I just figured out that’s the reason I was getting migraines lol. Haven’t gotten one since
got your ‘time to eat’ alarm set to vibrate eh
I wish I could go that long without eating.
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”
Dissolves sugar in water
Lazy²
That’s basically coke
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)
Why is my stomach hurting? Did I eat anything that had gone bad? Oh wait.
Don’t have ADHD. Probably an executive dysfunction thing, but after being medicated, I can feel hungry
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)
I just kind of graze all day.
Maybe I don’t have ADHD after all 🤔
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.
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
i have the fat kid flavor of adhd where i eat all the time for the dopamines
what medicine are you on if you don’t mind me asking?
currently none because my insurance says i need something called a “prior authorization” which means i have to spend hours playing phone tag with my doctor first 🫠
I am hoping that amphetamine salts will help me not be bored-hungry all the time and help with motivation to get to the gym regularly. I miss being healthy :[
I think it has to do with the medicine. I’m on a less common ADHD medication and I don’t get like this. Unless I’m working for some reason 🤷♀️
I am assuming this is referring to medicated ADHD. Stimulates are often associated with decreased hunger. When I was on vyvanse I completely lost my sense of hunger and only went off my bloodsuger. Like “damn I feel dizzy and zombie like. Food time”
Aaah suddenly this makes a lot more sense, thanks for the clarification.
I’m undiagnosed (finally should get that done… 🫣), so I have absolutely no experience with the medication.
I’m on Focalin and I can’t relate so it probably is the medicine 👍
Big ol’ box of tasty protein bars save me when this happens! I keep them around for when this inevitably happens… which is often.
It’s handful of shredded cheese o’clock!
