Nutritional advice regarding protein shakes/liquid dietHi guys! Im not really sure if this is the right place to post this, but I figured its worth a shot:) Im 22 female, 53 and about 220lbs (yes Im overweight, yes Im working on it, Ive lost 20lbs in the last 4 or so months) with autism and ARFID, I was also recently diagnosed with PCOS. Im currently only taking yaz birth control. Ive struggled with eating/wanting to eat since high school, and typically I only eat once a day because Im either not hungry or the thought of eating makes me feel sick. Recently, since I was diagnosed with pcos, Ive been placed on birth control. Ive noticed that I get hungrier faster than I used to, which isnt necessarily a bad thing. The issue is within an hour of eating, Im starving again. Ive just constantly felt empty but because im so hungry, I feel sick and cant eat, which obviously makes everything worse. My question is, since I dont have a nutritionist atm, and I have to go to the store Tuesday for groceries, if you guys had any recommendations on protein shakes or simple snacks that are super filling/cheap that I can get until I can work with someone on my diet? Im just so tired of feeling like this lmao

Your weight and PCOS put you at risk for diabetes. Talk to your doctor about adding metformin to your regimen. Get screened for diabetes. In the meantime high protein/low carb diet will help, but dont do it for too long.
