• Missing hunger cues and poor self-monitoring often lead to impulsive food choices
• Research shows connections between ADHD and disordered eating patterns
• Schedule grocery shopping like any other important appointment
• Shop with a prepared list to limit decision fatigue
• Consider online ordering with pickup or delivery if stores are overwhelming

• Set alarms to remind yourself when it's time to eat
