Remember to eat today!

7 meal reminders a day.

[mealreminders]

This is a reminder to eat blog. Honestly kinda not sure how long I will run this. If the discourse gets too much, I will delete and pretend I never started this.

But if getting daily reminders to eat is helpful for you, please give me a follow.

Some important things for you to know. I believe a well balanced meal includes carbs, protein, and veggies/fruit. I don't subscribe to good or bad food. Just food you eat. I will not get into dieting or body shaming discourse. If you get into it, I will block you.

I'm just here to remind people to eat and how important it is to try and get adequate nutrition. But I will not judge or shame you for what you have to do just to stay alive. And I will not bring up counting calories.

My aim is to try remind you to eat so you can get the nutrients you need to live a good life.

I'm not a dietitian or a professional. I just think it's really important to get adequate nutrition and that means eating regular meals everyday. And if you can do your best to ensure they're well balanced, then I'll be happy.

I am the same person who runs the brush your teeth reminder blog @brosser-les-dents, the shower time reminder blog @showertimereminders, and the get up and move blog @movementnudge.

when did you last eat something? genuinely asking. your body runs on food and it needs some

[pronouncingitwang]

at some point in your life you will be boiling fruit, water, sugar, and lemon juice in a pot to make a syrup or jam. the instructions will tell you to simmer for a certain amt of time. your timer will go off and you will look at the pot and go, "hm, this doesn't look thick enough. maybe i'll let it go for another 10 minutes." this is the devil speaking. it's only so liquid right now because it is at boiling point. it will thicken when it cools down. learn from the follies of my youth and do not let this happen to you

at some point in your life you will be making a sauce or a stew in which you need to add cornstarch to thicken it. and you will prepare a slurry of starch in cold water and think "this looks like way too little starch to thicken this amount of liquid." this is the devil speaking. cornstarch instantly polymerizes at 95°C and if you add too much it will turn into an impossibly thick goop.

[le-jardin-inculte]

at some point in your life you will be making some sort of cream based dessert that requires gelatin to thicken it. and you will soak some gelatin sheets in water and think "this is too few gelatin sheets for this amount of cream." this is the devil speaking. it will thicken in the fridge and if you add too much you will end up with milk jelly

[shithowdy]

at some point in your life you will be baking cookies. you will take the sheet out after twelve minutes as the recipe instructs and the cookies will still be glistening and soft. "these don't seem cooked enough," you will think to yourself, "i should place them back into the oven until their edges are nice and golden." this is the devil talking. this is how you get dry, overdone cookies. the cookies will continue to bake on the warm sheet for several more minutes and then harden up after sitting on a rack for a while. trust the process. trust the process.

Doing stuff "childish" is okay and even good actually

- If using plates and silverware meant for kids means you will eat more often and/or find more joy out of eating, good! *

- If using a divided plate means you are going to feel more comfortable eating, good!

- If having a water bottle with your favorite character/show on it means you are going to drink more water, good!

- If having children's toothbrushes and toothpaste means you are going to brush your teeth more often, good!

- If watching tooth brushing videos aimed at kids makes brushing more enjoyable/helps prompt you to brush correctly, good!

- If taking a stuffed animal or other toy out with you means you are going to feel a little safer, good!

- If using a nightlight (esp one with characters on it) makes you feel safer and helps you sleep better, good!

- If you find coloring in books made for children/simpler pictures more enjoyable, good!

- If decorating your living space with "childish" things with characters or bright colors is going to make your space more enjoyable/usable, good!

- If using organization systems and prompts aimed at children is going to help you actually use them, good!

- If you enjoy media aimed at children, and it brings you joy and makes your days a little easier, good!

No matter what your age is, you are allowed to use the things that bring joy into your life or make your life easier to manage. You do not need to "grow up" or "do it like an adult". You can do it in whatever way works best for you. There should be no shame in it. I think some of us want to beat the allegations that autism makes us more "childlike" thinking it makes us more palatable, when having "age-inappropriate interests" are a commonly known trait. It is normal to have autistic traits when you have autism. You don't need to hide it or pretend you don't. Yes I know not all autistics are interested in this stuff either but that's not my focus

* also there have been studies done that people tend to absorb more nutrition from foods they enjoy, so you are doing yourself a huge favor by making eating fun!

Remember to eat your veggies!

X I like to prep a bunch of veggies in a container in the fridge so that I don't have the daunting task of prep every single time I want to stuff food in my face. Literally just baby carrots, washed and chopped veg. All mixed together. Also, if you need dip, get dip!

Recipes from Portland's famous but long-closed Rheinlander restaurant. This cookbook was produced in a limited window before Chef Mager's death. All of these fucking slap.

[ladyvean]

For my fellow vegan/vegetarians, these sound scrumptious and look pretty simple to make substitutions!
