if you have no concept of hunger then you are a biological anomaly and should be studied in a lab

I have hunger but I can't process it mentally until hours after I should eat.

inb4 OP is majorly obese

You don't need to eat 3 meals a day. There's a wonderful solution for retards like you: OMAD; one meal a day. Calculate your macro's and make sure you get enough fiber, vitamins, and minerals in that one meal. Keep munching until it's all gone.

Here's an example for a meal plan:

1/2 cup of dry lentils, soaked and cooked
4 slices of bread
2 slices of cheese
2 slices of ham
2 eggs fried in 1 tsp of oil
5 oz of meat
1 cup of potatoes
2 cups of vegetables
1 cup of quark

Aboutr 1,965 calories, 137g of protein, 163g of carbs, 70 grams of fat, and 50 grams of fiber. If you're not a fat, sedentary slob, feel free to add more calories in the form of snacks or extra of whatever of the listed foods you like the most.

>Mentally it takes too much effort to remember to eat

Even bugs are capable of the mental effort to remember to eat.

Used to have terrible depression where I'd go days at a time without eating so as to avoid the human interaction required to get food. Once you get to a certain point, it feels like too much effort to chew and swallow.
OP, the best solution for you would be to implement routines. More realistically, keep a stockpile of easy to eat "intro" foods that can take you past the brink of weakness, enough to have the energy to get other foods to eat.
I recommend drinkable forms of protein. My personal favorite was Muscle Milk, which has this oddly satisfying aftertaste.
Once you get some protein in you, you can either cook or order out for a more substantial meal.

bugs aren't capable of mental effort
literally everything a bug does is hardwired as a reflex, even complex movement/problem solving in eusocial insects like ants can be broken down into simple steps and algorithms

>>11218665
Oh yeah I have depression as well. I forgot to mention that. I have room mates that I don't want to see so I sometimes skip breakfast and lunch. I'm always trying to play catch up with my calories. Thanks for the advice!

>>11218716
Man, that brings back memories. I kept the weirdest routines to avoid my roommates.
Long term, hiding in your room will reinforce depressive thought, but for short term survival it helps to find small ways to make reclusive life easier on yourself. Keep a stash of muscle milk in the fridge and sneak one or two of them back into your room at whatever ass-o-clock in the morning you wake up at, assuming you also have interrupted sleep. These will be your meal for the day. Even better, if you've got the money, you can get a mini fridge for your room.

Depression's a bitch. Not only do you have almost no energy, now basic human functions like eating and hygiene don't come naturally. You lose your sense of self preservation. Your survival ability is less than an insect's. To compensate, it really helps to set up small cheats like this for yourself. If you can reduce the amount of energy spent maintaining yourself, you might find yourself with a surplus to do something big. Go outside, or do something you can be proud of. Take care of a small plant, or cook a meal. We're all gonna make it.

so even WITHOUT the ability for mental effort, bugs still know to eat
OP is fuckin dumb

Is prune juice any good?
I like plums but I don't want to drink something if it gives you the squirts.

Milk

>>11218807
it's sour and unpleasant... and yes, it'll make ya shit soup.

>>11218503
Iktf, I never eat breakfast and I have gone for days without eating because I just don't feel like it or if it hurts too bad from reflux. Make a meal plan and track it, I like to use MyFitnessPal. I like to make vegetable and meat empanadas and dumplings and freeze them. I also keep some liquid meat replacements around if I'm really not feeling it, Orgain is the best out of those. You can make dense scones with lots of nuts and dried fruit too, to just grab. The trick is to make things really easy for yourself.

>>11218768
Yeah, it's been getting real bad lately, i have been pissing in a cup because I don't want them to see me come out of my room. It's weird and unhealthy. Luckily our work schedules aren't in sync. I don't know why I shy away from them.

>>11218503
Butter, bro

>>11219591
Fuck man, I used to pee in a pile of towels in a corner of the room. I'd say the cup thing is a step up from that.
It took me a few years but I managed to climb up from rock bottom. You're gonna do it too.

>>11219591
I hope you get better some day. I’ve been coming out of very long depression the past few months. Still not all there, but six months ago I would never have imagined that I’d ever get even as far as I am now.

Just get cereal and milk

>>11218503
I like to make smoothies with greens like spinach and kale added in. Also I like to add wheatgrass powder to it too. Add whatever frozen fruit, yogurt and milk. I know how you feel anon, some days I don't even want solid food. Smoothies are the best bet and they go down easy and fast. Hope you feel better anon

>>11218653
Fuck you guys he's probably just depressed or something

>>11218665
Me too anon, sometimes chewing food will make me gag too

I'm like this but with bathing instead of eating, arguably it's not as bad

>Fuck man, I used to pee in a pile of towels in a corner of the room.
what the hell? why not get like a big bottle and use that?

>>11220852
I don't really have the anatomy for precision peeing.
I could've gotten a wide-mouth jug or something, but I wasn't exactly capable of solutions or resourcefulness at the time. I used to break out in tears when I thought about throwing out trash that I was already holding. The steps needed to accomplish even the most simple task stretched out infinitely, like trying to go from 1 to 2 by considering each decimal point on the line. First you have to get to .1, but to get there you need to get to .01, and .001, and before you know it a task that's so simple a healthy person could do it automatically has caused me to have a small breakdown.
I don't know if what I'm saying would make sense to anybody who hasn't experienced it before.

i know that feel. good description of the feel.

>>11218503
forgetting to eat is your brains way of telling you that you should just let go of life and drift away

>>11218572
what a terrible post. omad is the opposite of what he should do, he should snack as much as possible in order to build the habit. the rest of your post is also retarded but I won't address it since the central point is taken care of

>>11218503
>Starving
Dont use starving when you should use "not eating on purpose" you drama queen faggot

>>11218503
Also
>Dont remember to eat until im hungry
Thats fucking normal. The whole point of being hungry is to let you know you meed to eat. Are you legitimately retarded?

>>11220910
:(
I know this feel
