Do y'all just sometimes don't feel like eating? Like you're hungry, but don't have the mental energy to eat.

Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.
RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

Seems like most people have given their stories so I'll shy away from mine (mainly because I don't feel like typing everything out), but I DO want to say that for those of you who feel like this, I strongly recommend some kind of nutritional drink/complete meal shake to keep on hand.
I was using Soylent for a long while, and honestly it is my personal preference, but recently (for like a year now) they have been out of their powder so I've been shopping around for alternatives. Huel is okay but is too gritty for me, never seems to smoothen out enough for my liking, no matter how much you mix it.
I just got an order of Plenny Shakes recently and I prefer it over Huel, but it was a bit of a bummer to find out the flavors for Plenny aren't that strong. They're very "La Croix" in the flavor area. But they do smoothen out nicely after half a minute shaking.
I still mainly recommend Soylent (they do still have premade shakes,) and a soft recommendation to Plenny Shakes, but hell even Boost Shakes or Slimfast shakes would do.
Mainly try to keep an easy shake meal for when you don't feel like eating or cooking. It's not an ultimate answer, but drinking a meal is better than not having one at all.
