I have a couple friends who have issues with making their food. Idk how many times I've been talking to one, they mention feeling like shit, and I asks aht the last thing they ate was and it's some shit like "I had a coffee yesterday around 2pm"

So now, since I love cooking but hate all the prep and cleanup, I have them buy the ingredients the day before I plan on coming over, then I spend the day making meals for the next week and a half. It all has to be able to heat in one container, preferably the container it's stored in to assist with ease of heating.

It's still a toss up, but now at least when they hit a wall they can grab a box out of the fridge instead of sitting paralyzed trying to figure out what to eat or deciding to just stay hungry

I also have to label the meals with binary choices. Things like "LUNCH MONDAY OR DINNER WEDNESDAY" so they have variety and an option for if they don't want a specific one right now. Otherwise it's "too many options" and instead of just grabbing whatever, they close the freezer/fridge.

Because you forgot and now it's 3 am and nothing is open, or?

Genuinely not trying to be an asshole:

Set a daily timer on your phone just labelled 'PERISHABLE VEGETABLES IN FRIDGE' ... ?

Like, have it go off every day?

Or maybe label it 'Meal Prep Time'?

Set 'appointments' in your calendar for specific meals, a few times a week, with the actual instructions for making a meal?

Or, like, once upon a time, it used to just be fairly normal to set aside a few hours on the weekend (or some off work day) to do a significant amount of meal prep, store it for the week, then that stuff is either good to go, or just needs minimal additional work (quick flash in a toaster oven or what not) to make it good to go, day of.

I dunno, as best I can tell I don't have ADHD, but I did have major depression for a while, and part of what helped me out of that was just strictly regimenting myself, untill I didn't need the alarms anymore. I know ADHD ain't the same, but... might be useful/relevant?

This is what drugs are for. Try a mix of weed and LSD.
