your brain is fully aware that you can just have two handful of nuts and be good for a couple of hours. Just because your brain also believes that you gotta have a proper meal doesn't matter

I'll see your handfuls of nuts, and raise you a couple spoonfuls of peanut butter.

It's a) relatively cheap b) delicious c) easily edible on the fly with a spoon, time constraints be damned. It serves the purpose quite well, and even throws a bit of sugar in there too.

Not exactly a balanced diet, but it does accomplish the goal reasonably effectively and frequently is already in the house.

Also good when not medically quite at 100% - when not at my best, I do everything I can to follow dr. orders, ofc, but sometimes it's more efficient to throw a tiny bit of sugar at one's brain in a (relatively) healthier way, than to keep fighting it during recovery.

I try to alternate:

  • peanut butter
  • banana
  • nuts
  • cheese

I'm basically a gatherer.

I don't have any nuts in the pantry because I don't like them. My brain knows this.

Well thanks to my unhelpful brain I'm losing weight from not eating enough

I saw someone make "mashed potatoes" out of Pringles... seriously wondered why. But they did.

I guess one could but... that just sounds expensive and weird-tasting to me.

Yeah it actually did, looked slightly less disgusting than I would have expected it to.

[-] frunch@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I love that! Thanks for sharing, that's an idea that has never crossed my mind

[-] BugleFingers@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Procrastinate long enough and you'll still be eating them though. Why? Because you haven't been shopping and it's wayyy easier than cooking -my brain

This is true and also works the other way around. There is no food but i'm too lazy to go on a grocery run. Suddenly more food spawns in my house for 3 more days.
