@memzak, LOL. I hear you. If only they made a protein version of ramen noodles; the coed diet. You’d be surprised what would help, though. I know we’re all individuals, but there’s something about this ADHD that makes us see the world in the same, weird way.

Speaking of, I don’t know if it’s me or ADD, but I don’t really get hungry. I can fast for a whole day with little or no notice if I want to, and all I get is a mild headache. (I drink tons of water and distract myself with video games or TV).

The doctors and nutritionists are always saying, “eat some carrots, or have a protein shake to fend off hunger.” Lady, I didn’t eat a pound bag of M&M’s because I was hungry. I don’t go for the Twizzlers instead of the banana because of the caloric values. Bananas are boring, sugar is more exciting. For me, eating is not usually about hunger. It’s lack of planning (I’m late, so McDonalds it is); impulse control (ooh, they have Yodels!) or boredom.
