If you’ve ever thought, OMG, I have to feed myself AGAIN? ALREADY?, you’re not alone. As an intuitive eating and eating disorder nutritionist, I hear this all the time from my clients—and I’ve felt it myself, too. Decision fatigue around meals can be exhausting, especially if you’re in recovery from an eating disorder or trying to build a more peaceful relationship with food.
So, let’s talk through three simple, practical strategies to help make meal decisions easier and reduce the stress of feeding yourself.
When meal fatigue sets in, even searching online for a recipe can feel like too much. That’s why having a tangible binder filled with reliable, go-to meals can be a game-changer.
A printed binder removes the distraction of endless scrolling and gives you a curated list of meals that work for you.
This is one of my favorite tools because it honors where you’re at in the moment. Some days, you have the energy to cook something from scratch, and other days, even making a sandwich feels like too much. The Meal Level System helps you categorize meals based on how much effort they take. For example:
Having a framework like this allows you to meet yourself where you are. If you’d like a downloadable guide to fill out your own levels, click here!
If making decisions feels like too much, let fate decide! You can create a meal decision wheel using a free tool like wheelofnames.com.
This strategy completely removes the pressure of deciding and turns meal planning into something fun and easy.
Whether you’re creating a recipe binder, using the Meal Level System, or spinning the Wheel of Meals, know that there’s no “right” way to make food decisions. The key is to reduce stress and meet yourself where you are.
