ADHD Meal Planning App After FeedMyADHD Shutdown Left a Gap

mobile app real project •• multiple requests

FeedMyADHD, the only meal planning app built specifically for ADHD brains, shut down in July 2025. 58% of adults with ADHD experience decision paralysis at least weekly, and the medication timing crisis (stimulants suppress appetite during the day, wear off at dinner prep) means generic meal planners fail by week 3. Users need energy-tiered suggestions, not rigid weekly plans.

builder note

The trap is building another weekly meal planner. ADHD users don't fail at week 1, they fail at week 3 when the novelty wears off. Build for the worst executive function day, not the best one, and make cereal for dinner a valid output.

MealThinker partially fills the gap with AI suggestions but costs $15/mo and lacks ADHD-specific features like energy-level meal tiers, medication timing awareness, or dopamine-friendly variety rotation. No app currently combines low-decision-load meal suggestions with ADHD-specific accommodations at an accessible price.

MealThinker AI-powered and ADHD-aware but $15/mo, conversational-only with no visual meal cards or energy-level filtering

Eat This Much Auto-generates meal plans but assumes neurotypical executive function, rigid weekly structure that ADHD users abandon

Mealime Simple recipes but requires browsing and choosing, the exact decision paralysis step that blocks ADHD users
