Feeding yourself should not feel like a full-time job. Use AI to simplify meal planning so ADHD households enjoy varied, nutritious food without constant decision fatigue.
Build a Rotating Base Menu
Start with five core meals
Choose dishes everyone likes and vary them weekly. Dietitians report that predictable rotations reduce stress while still covering nutritional needs.[1]
Automate shopping lists
Chaos converts the rotation into a shopping list, syncing it with delivery slots. It prompts you the day before groceries arrive to clear fridge space.
Layer Sensory-Friendly Prep
Prep stations
Set up two zones: quiet chopping and high-sensory cooking. Borrow regulation strategies from our household ops manual.
Micro-prep batches
Use 20-minute prep windows to chop veg or marinate proteins. Chaos schedules these micro-prep slots during low-energy hours when you need a gentle win.
Keep the System Flexible
Emergency swaps
Have Chaos propose two backup meals using freezer staples. When the day derails, you still have food ready in 15 minutes.
Meal planning becomes survivable when routines, sensory support, and automation blend together. Nourishment should feel achievable, not exhausting.
