I've always balked at the price of the Huel bottles (Like £4/$6 each?!), but lately my diet has been awful, I hate cooking, I've got some stupid undiagnosed immune problem that zaps my energy at random every day or so and I have autism and ADHD so I'm picky about what I eat and I'm never motivated to make any food beyond toast. Maybe noodles.

So I've decided to jump into the powders in bulk at a fairly steep discount (about a months worth at £1/$1.34 per "meal") and I'm hoping this will both get my weight down and give me some more energy to actually do stuff, but I'm kinda curious to know if anyone here has had any experiences with it because I know it can be pretty divisive as far as taste and enjoyment goes.

I've picked up Black Edition in coffee flavour, Original Banana and Essential in chocolate. Coffee is nice, Chocolate is the bomb and I haven't tried banana yet. For some reason I'm finding Essential to be way more filling despite it having only 20g Protein compared to Black Edition's 40g, but it's still early days yet.

Love to focus in on ADHD and insult someone for it, because it's obviously fake and made-up, especially when OP's describing far more issues than just ADHD. Have you tried not being an ableist weirdo?

(Edit: just to be clear, OP is very clearly describing other serious energy-affecting issues beyond just ADHD, but ADHD (especially unmediated) is a real and serious issue that can ruin someone's life and your smug "have you tried growing up and doing things" bullshit is harmful. I hope you reconsider your views before you go down the full eugenicist pipeline towards the british media and MAHA, because that's where this shit leads)

What about ADHD and fairly mild ME and other issues all combined into something that means some days you can't even roll over in bed for most of the day, or can't handle the thought of solid food even if it's made for you? Because that really fucking sucks and is extremely hard to cope with. I'd love to brush my teeth twice every day, and wash my hair more than once a week, but some weeks my body doesn't cooperate and trying to go all TOUGH LOVE PUSH THROUGH DON'T BE A PATHETIC LOSER makes things much worse for even longer.

Couple of room-temperature bottles of the vanilla stuff on really bad days are all I can do. It's shelf-stable, no prep, actually has some healthy stuff in despite being blended powders or whatever, and doesn't make me worse. £3 a bottle from Tesco, or arguably a bit less if I get the £5.50 meal deal in Sainsbury's when I'm out and need a bottle of something with electrolytes and a small snack, and save the huel to take home. The cost sucks but it's better to have a stash than not.

Thank you for chiming in. I honestly didn't want to get into an argument about it because, well honestly I just don't have the mental energy to get into a back and forth, but I very much appreciate you and I hope you also get, and feel, supported.

I really hope you can find a solution, or at least a diagnosis that lets you work towards one. There are plenty of weird things that can cause energy issues, and it's so easy for people - absolutely including doctors - to write them off and say "have you tried being healthy?" Love having multiple conditions that sound like you're telling a bad joke when you describe them.

Wonder if the NOT EATING FOOD and NOT HAVING ANY KIND OF ACTUAL DIET and BEING FAT might play a role in the "undiagnosed energy problem" here.

Also, he's likely faking diagnoses because he's already decided it's an immune disorder that he goes low energy at one point in the day from being a fatty who eats like dogshit.

And as it pleases the court, for further evidence that he's making shit up, I submit into evidence:
