Remember: feeling apathetic toward food and eating is NOT your permission slip to skip meals. Sometimes there’s a reason for it (stress is the culprit for mine rn) and sometimes there isn’t. But what happens when food gives you the ick and literally nothing sounds good? @epefird brought this up and besides just waiting for it to pass, here are things that are helpful for me (sharing in case they’re helpful for you, too): • Keep it simple. Shopping and cooking can feel more tiring than usual so now probably isn’t the time to try an elaborate recipe or plan on hours in the kitchen. Think quick, convenient, heat & eat or straight-out-of-the-package foods that don’t take as much effort • Go back to basics. Think about foods you loved when you were a kid, and try starting there. PB&J, mac & cheese, white rice, cereal...anything can offer nourishment and comfort, and more importantly, just provide some energy for your body • Break it up. Full size meals can feel overwhelming so try breaking them up into “mini meals”. These are more than a snack but smaller than the portion you’d typically have at a meal. The key here is make sure you bump up the frequency if you’re serving smaller meals, that way you aren’t intentionally or unintentionally restricting by scaling back on your overall intake • Liquid calories. Which, I know, can feel super intimidating when diet culture tells you it’s water and black coffee and zero-cal drinks only. But smoothies, whole milk or chocolate milk, 100% juice, and other easy digesting liquid snacks/meals can offset a lack of desire to sit down and chew something If you’ve struggled with this, what would you add? #streetsmartnutrition #fearlesslynourished #gentlenutrition #intuitiveeating #healthateverysize #haes #rdchat #rd2be #nondietapproach #nondietdietitian
