When you are too tired to eat...

I usually grab a spoon and a peanut butter jar.

Couldn't resist. When I'm too tired to cook, I grab something filling and easy with protein/fat like pb and crackers or pb sandwich.
Never been too tired to eat!

This.

Struggling is often a sign of over-restriction (too few calories).

But lately it's been hard to want to eat at night

This is a problem I have never faced.

I'm usually too tired to cook rather than eat so keep a supply of hard boiled eggs, baby bel cheese and soup handy so I can grab something and have a meal in moments. Or instant hot chocolate work for me too.

This has happened to me once. Maybe twice. In my whole life. I just got some sleep and ate extra when I woke.

ETA: If this is happening regularly, re-check your TDEE to be sure you are getting enough fuel for your activities.

um. nope.,

I usually throw together a cheese and spinach omelette, or a baked potato with tuna and apple.
If really really tired- protein shake with water/ or protein bar, with a banana, and orange.
Or Greek yogurt with protein bar and banana chopped into it.
Or cottage cheese, pear, nuts and celery.

Cheers, h.

Do any of you guys do meal replacement shakes Or protein shakes?

Ok maybe not just too tired to eat but don't feel like putting something together for a meal..

Sure, when I'm not hungry enough for a full breakfast or don't feel like cooking I will start with protein powder, add fat and fruit, sometimes chia seeds and or flax seeds, and have 250 - 400 calories available as needed. Sometimes it takes me over an hour to finish it.

after long days I'm kind of lazy about eating in the evening too... I usually cook in large batches and pre-portion stuff into single servings. what I'm not going to eat in a couple days I toss in the freezer. means I have a good variety of yummy/healthy meals that just need to be heated.
or if I'm super lazy... hard boiled egg... or greek yogurt with chia/nut mix. I also eat lots during the day when I'm hungry knowing "dinner" doesn't always happen... I often just have a couple snacks one between work and training and another when I'm done training

This never happens to me either.

However, I keep frozen, grilled chicken breast strips and a bag of frozen vegetables in the freezer at all times for the rare occasion where I don't feel like cooking. I either throw them all in a bowl and microwave with some tomato sauce, or I'll thaw them in a pan with oil and throw some seasoning in there. Takes 5 minutes. Also, a fried egg on a toasted english muffin with cheese is pretty filling, or an omelette with the above mentioned frozen vegetables and shredded cheese.

I eat about 700-800 calories while at work (desk job), then dinner, dessert, and tv snacks are when I eat the remaining 1000 calories (I also exercise at night). Therefore I am always hungry and itching to get moving when I get home from work.

I suggest keeping quick and easy things available all the time so it's not so easy to skip meals.

On occasion. I'm more likely to whip up a quick omelet or maybe some oatmeal with berries or have some leftovers (a sandwich would be good too--I just never have bread in the house). Having a go-to quick and easy meal in your repertoire or on hand isn't a bad idea.
