Struggling to Make Food Due to Executive Dysfunction

Honestly try getting glucose tablets too that way you get energy from them and it may help you to at least eat a snack but at least with those think of it like taking medicine you need instead of just plain eating sometime putting something in you stomach will help to make you need to eat and glucose tabs are good for that plus keep you bloodsugar up and provide energy don't eat them like candy tho only do it if your really struggling to eat and need energy

Sorry had to vent a bit but I wish you guys the best and yes easy is the way to go when your really down in your deep depression.

Same. Just stare at the fridge and cupboards. For me part of it is depression and the other is nothing seems appetizing. Not sure what's up?

I struggle with this a lot. Make it as easy as possible for yourself- smoothies or shakes. When it’s hard I remind myself it doent have to be a legit meal- make sure you get your macronutrients (carbs, fat, protein) at minimum even if it’s eating random east things together. Something is better than nothing. I also take food supplements with snacks- fish oil, beef tallow, macadamia oil, black cumin seed oil capsules and grass fed beef organs. It helps increase calories when I have a snack and don’t eat a full meal and keeps me going longer than just a snack.

Yes, I second having a whole drawer or basket near you full of foods and snacks you enjoy. You can bring all sorts of kitchen appliances to you whether that's your bedroom or your favorite hang out spot. From mini fridge to microwave to even a coffee maker, blender, or toaster. Sometimes if I can convince myself that it's not that hard or that far I can get over the hump.

I am the same way and I have been keeping small snacks near me and lots of water. Again, please drink lots of water ! The reason I keep snacks near me is because my energy is too low to make my own food and so I eat food that’s already premade until I get the energy to make my own food again. You could also order food. So you aren’t just eating snacks.

Try snacking on chips or crackers
