There was a Twitter post that said “I’m hungry and all I have are ingredients” and I think about that one a lot.
I’ve not seen that Twitter, but I have seen that on a sign in somebody’s kitchen. They apparently sell them at Walmart or something now. Trademark your shit, people.
Good ol’ ARFID (Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder) for me. It’s cyclical for me, and when it rears its ugly head I’ll basically stop eating for a week or two. Normal meals turn into protein shakes since my throat will refuse to swallow normal food.
I’ve never heard of it, that sounds like a huge pain in the ass.
It’s definitely not fun
Best of luck to you.
I had not had an issue in over a year. All of a sudden, I lost my appetite. Since then, on most days, I struggle to make myself eat. I’ve been at the “protein shakes are good enough, I guess” stage for about a month now.
I’ve lost so much weight, that everyone around me is telling me how concerned they are. It’s been over 2 months now. It’s not a good feeling, both physically and mentally.
People who know, know.
Oh I totally do the same thing. Thank you for making me feel seen!
Privileged.
Nailed it!
Food fatigue, its a real thing. Humans can’t eat the same thing over and over forever.

“Two sandwiches and some carrots” has served me well
i have what i call the ihop theory. when you feel this way go-to ihop and order off their lunch menu. everything about the experience will be horrible and you’ll feel terrible for having paid for it. literally the next meal you have will be the best thing you had in ages and you will value every bit of it.
Ah yes, corollary to the waffle house theory, which is when you have your first All-Star Special at Waffle House and realize that it’s now all you want to eat for the rest of your life.

You leave Stiffler’s Mom out of this!
That’s the closest thing to what I feel when I feel like this, I think.
The problem is that usually there’s no food, only ingredients.
german have a word for that (?)
The German word would be exactly that but in German and without space.
starvingbutwouldratherdiethaneatfoodinthekitchen
This is how German have a word for everything.

Appetitlosigkeit is in the dictionary unlike those other suggestions. But it just means not having an appetite. If the problem is making a decision you could talk about Entscheidungsparalyse bedingte Nahrungsaufnahmeverweigerung (rejecting food consumption because of decision paralysis).
Could be “Heißhunger”… A deep carving for something or a specific meal mostly not available at the moment…
It’s Kühlschrankgefüllteseelenleeresehnsucht
Nah we just stole “Gusto” (appetite) Also “Gusta” you can be hungry but not have an appetite for anything. And of course you can be full but then the desert arrives, triggering your Gusta
We have a word for the latter tough: Nachtischmagen (literally dessert stomach). It doesn’t matter how full you are, you always have room for dessert.

It’s called depression
Yeah, or being burnt out/exhausted?
I can cook relatively well. Not professional restaurant style meals, I have no problem finding a recipe and cooking a meal for mates.
Often after a long shift and I need food, I just stare at the contents of the fridge and cupboards and think fuck this I’ll just put some chips in the oven
The love of my life gets hangry like this… the conversation usually goes something like:
I’m hungry
what would you like?
I dunno, I just want food
We could make _____
No! not that.
Okay, does ____ sound good?
that’ll take too long
how about _____
that’s too much work
what about [takeout]
I can’t wait that long for you to go get it. I’m hungry now.
How about [fastest takeout in town]
TOOOOOOOOO! LOOOOOOOONG!
I NEED FOOD NOW!Uhh… Uhh… We have cereal?
Eww! Gross!
I don’t know how to help you.
I don’t known how you can’t understand that I’M HUNGRY. All I want is food. It doesn’t matter what.
Well apparently it does matter.
I don’t need that attitude! I need you to FEEEEED MEEEE!
Good God! Here’s a snackbar and a sparkly beverage. Go sit down away from the kitchen and I’ll have a box of risotto ready in less than 15 minutes.
Is the love of your life a spoiled child?
An uninspired cook
I gochu, it’s called ‘picky’.
Boredom.
That depends on the food and the amount of available body fat.
Hunger is not starving. Start being honest with yourself and you will know why you don’t want to eat the food.
Isn’t that Schadenfreude?
Nah. Schadenfood.
This does not have enough upvotes
Unsure if this is serious but Schadenfreude is somewhat like the satisfaction you get when someone gets karma/gets what you think they deserve (in a negative way).
