This part is hard for me. I am never hungry even I wake up, and I literally can't force myself to eat. I'm get sick. I have a LOT of food issues, though.
I've opted for complete foods like Huel powder (comparable to Soylent) as it takes the stress out of eating for me. For some reason, drinking my calories is a lot easier plus it's simple to just carry around some powder and mix it with water on the go when I feel hungry but too overwhelmed to find food.
I've been considering this. I'd love to drink my meals, but I don't really like smoothies and I'm weird about tastes, so I'm hesitant to try anything like Huel. What's the flavor like? Can you taste that it's a health supplement?
Huel is very oaty, I had it for a while until I tried some other brands. I currently drink YFood Chocolate which is a lot like a milk shake, the other flavors are good too. There's a larger number of complete foods brands now than just a few years ago, you could try some to see if these are to your taste. I'm allergie to soy so my selection is a bit limited.
Thanks, I'll look into it! I really struggle with food, and cooking is way too much effort for something I'm not going to like eating, lol. Breakfast being especially hard for me, liquid meals would be a lifesaver.
