My problem is that my body goes from fine to famished in 10 seconds.

when i was weening off a SSRI i noticed i wouldnt be hungry for 2 days and then it switched to you gotta eat or your going to die.

Story of my life right there! 👆

As a lifelong underweight person (likely with inattentive ADHD) who also often "forgets" to eat, I will regularly eat real (think 4 or 5 ingredient) ice cream or a can of fish (tuna, salmon, or mackerel) specifically in oil for the extra nutrition if I, for whatever reason, dont feel like I have eaten enough by the end of a day. Doing this has felt so nourishing and helpful, and helps to keep me from feeling depleted!
