I am pretty bad at remembering to eat during the day. This includes having lunch, but also having snacks. I know that I need to eat small bit regularly, but often forget.

I also eat a bit when I’m bored, searching for that dopamine hit.

Recently, I have rediscovered those little packets of snacks that are promoted for kids lunchboxes. As my kids are now adults, we haven’t had them for ages… but I’ve recently rediscovered they exist. Honestly, they’ve been a game changer for me!

This includes packets of Shapes, biscuits, cheese and crackers, even yoghurt tubs.

These small packets are portion controlled, so I’m not tempted to eat a whole box of Shapes or similar in a sitting. They are convenient as I can grab and go. Not to mention that every packet tastes the same, so there are no flavour surprises.

They also help me to stop reaching for a packet of lollies or some chocolate as these small packets of whatever takes the edge of the food craving in that moment and are easy to store in the cupboard as well as have a couple in the car for when I’m out and about.

For all of you AuDHDers out there who are looking for some quick & easy foods to have on hand, remember these little snacks aren’t just for kids.

Absolutely choose wisely to fit in with your diet, this is just something that is helping me remember to eat during the day as I don’t have to think too hard about it, and reducing the binge eating.
