ADHD Meal Planning Template
The problem with ADHD and meals isn't recipes — it's decision paralysis at the worst moment (hungry, depleted, executive function at zero). This template reduces the decision surface to almost nothing. You pick seven meals once a week, list what you need, and the rest runs itself.
This isn't another system to abandon. It's built around how your brain actually works, not how planners think it should work.
What's inside

- Managing food-related shame
What this is not:
Not a course. Not a 47-step onboarding. Not a habit tracker that shames you for missing a day. It's a system that assumes you'll disappear and builds re-entry in.
