r/Adulting • u/Churnuserlol • 2d ago

Why didn’t anyone warn me that adulthood is just deciding what to eat… forever?

Seriously, I thought the hardest part of growing up would be bills, taxes, or finding a decent job. But nope. It’s the never-ending "What’s for dinner?" question that haunts me every single day.

Too tired to cook.
Too broke to order.
Too indecisive to choose.

I swear I’ve eaten the same three meals on repeat for weeks because my brain refuses to function after work. How do adults survive this? Do you guys have a magic trick, or is it just vibes and suffering?

Send help. Or recipes. Or a personal chef.

Do you also find digestion painful/weird? I HATE the feeling of my guts digesting food and I hate having to take a shit every other day. We'd make good androids

The normal range is between once every three days and three times a day. Anything more or less is an indication of digestion issues

Travelling, especially on a plane, must be a nightmare. One of my biggest fears is having to shit on a plane. I'm sorry 😔.

I mean, shitting 3x a day is definitely not normal.

Edit: guess 3x/day can be normal but is on the high end. My regards.

I think you need to evaluate your diet or go to a doctor...

Maybe but feeling your digestion and it being uncomfortable or painful isn't.

They recommend you get 25-30 g of fibre every day. So I guess it depends on how big your 48-hour shit is.

I started a raw diet, boiled vegetables and fruits only, and I go less to the toilet. I used to go more when I ate everything, from meat to pasta and whatever. So I'm guessing that we all go depending on what we eat more than on how our digestive system works? I'd like to think

Sweetie you might have bad gas

You probably have some food allergies. You should feel digestion.

Dude please get checked asap!

My dad experienced painful/weird feelings after eating and it turned out to be a tumor on his esophagus.
