I often struggle with rushing out the door in the morning without grabbing something to eat. I have had this problem as long as I can remember. This changed when I started taking medication to treat my ADHD symptoms. Without a full meal, the duration and effectiveness of my morning dose would vary. I needed a solution.
I started doing meal prep once a week. Sometimes I make 4-5 days worth of breakfast burritos or a big batch of hash browns with veggies I had on hand. Healthy trail mix as a meal replacement is a good option if I’m in a rush (I like Power Up High Energy). It is ready to eat, doesn’t require cooking or utensils, and is shelf stable at room temperature. I keep some in my work backpack and at my desk in case I miss lunch. What hacks work best for you?
Generally some sort of meal replacement shake about 30 mins after the meds.
I have found that eating with the meds dilutes the effects for me, so waiting helps.
The meal replacement shake approach helps because I am generally not hungry by the time I remember to be having some food. Drinking it is easier than making myself eat.
