Nutrition on Low-Energy Days — How to Use This Worksheet
Some days, even deciding what to eat can feel like a huge task.
This worksheet is designed for those days.
Start by identifying what makes food preparation difficult. Is it shopping, deciding, standing, cooking, washing up, sensory overwhelm or simply having very little energy?
Then create a list of your easiest foods.
Think about foods you can keep ready or nearby and whether someone else could sometimes help with shopping or preparation.
Consider shortcuts too. Convenience foods, pre-prepared ingredients, repeating familiar meals and reducing preparation steps can all make nourishment more accessible.
Think about decisions you could make in advance so you don't have to make them when your energy is already depleted.
Most importantly, consider which expectations you can let go of.
Something manageable is better than an ideal meal that feels impossible.
Use the final box to create your own low-energy nourishment plan.
