Hello hello! So I'm trying to broaden my culinary horizon right now, things have gotten a bit stale since I have a mild case of ARFID and tend to fall back on safe foods (protein bars, fruit pureés, burritos) when I don't keep an eye on my diet. Ideally I'm looking for something that's healthy and reqires little prep. And it should be obtainable in Germany. But if the title speaks to you in any other way I'm interested to hear your thoughts anyway.

My son has ARFID. He's 15. It's really hard. He's seeing a therapist. But he's still seriously underweight. I don't have any food recommendations, but I do wish you the best with your progress.

    I'm sorry to hear that. It often gets much better with age though! I'm 29 now and I can eat most stuff without feeling any aversion. It's more that I prefer my safe foods but I can thoroughly enjoy other meals too. Cooking can still be tricky sometimes but I don't let that ruin my diet. I hope your son can find a calorie-dense safe food. My go to in that regard are almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds and if all else fails gummy bears.
