What I eat in a day: ARFID Edition

Hi! My name's Caitlin, and I have ARFID, which is avoidant restrictive food intake disorder.

I got diagnosed at 25 shortly after recieving my autism diagnosis, but it's something I've struggled with my whole life.

ARFID looks like extreme picky eating and makes trying new foods really scary! I was lucky enough to work with a registered dietician for about six months last year in order to try new foods & learn about how to best fuel my body. I fell off the wagon for a little while, but I'm back trying to meet my goals both nutritionally as well as in fitness!

A big goal for me is making sure I get enough fiber & protein in my diet. I don't like most meat so protein can be really hard. I rely on supplements and plant-based proteins for most of my intake. Fiber is hard because a lot of veggies are big fear foods for me. My dietician has helped me broaden my horizons so much, and I'm very grateful for it!

Posting every day to keep myself accountable & keep track of my progress!
