WHAT TO EAT WHEN YOU ARE EXHAUSTED

When you are too tired to think about food this handles it for you.

Personalised, fatigue-aware food support that matches how you feel and makes food feel easier straight away.

When you’re exhausted, food doesn’t need to be another thing to work out.

If you live with chronic fatigue, ME/CFS, burnout, long-term stress or neurodivergence, you already know this:

Food is hard because sometimes you don’t know what to eat and other times you do, but you don’t have the energy to make it happen.

Your brain feels foggy, your appetite is unreliable, everything in the fridge feels wrong and even simple choices feel impossible.

So food gets delayed, skipped, or stuck on repeat.

You need the thinking taken off your plate.
What to Eat When You’re Exhausted does exactly that.

You describe how you’re feeling — low energy, nausea, aversions, overwhelm — and it reflects back a small number of fatigue-aware food options that match your capacity right now.

Not eating ‘perfectly’
Just something you can look at and think, yes, I could do that.

That’s when food stops feeling overwhelming and starts feeling easy again.

Maybe you’ve found yourself…

Endless Decisions

Crying because someone asked you “What do you fancy for breakfast?”

Standing in front of the fridge praying for inspiration, 5 minutes later you are back hoping for a miracle…

Overwhelm

Skipping meals because choosing something feels harder than eating nothing.

Staring at ingredients you bought with good intentions… knowing they’ll go off as you don’t have the energy.

Fatigue

Panicking the “wrong” food will trigger symptoms or crash your energy.

Wanting to eat nourishing meals but unable to think, plan, chop or decide.

Cheaper than the takeaway you panic buy when dinner feels impossible…

🍽️ What’s inside…

Personalised meal suggestions based on your symptoms and energy
So that choosing your next meal doesn’t drain what little capacity you have

Zero-prep and 5-minute meal ideas
So that you can nourish yourself even on crash days

Nervous System matched suggestions
So that foods help regulate your system rather than destabilise it

Options based on your real fridge + cupboards
So you stop wasting money on ingredients you never cook

Support for changing food intolerences or aversions
So that you stay nourished even when preferences shift

Instant, simple shopping lists
So that trips to the supermarket don’t feel like an endurance event

Built using real lived experience with chronic fatigue and specialist nutrition knowledge
Gentle, shame free guidance you can trust, that is going to help your fatigue rather than add more to your plate


How It Works

  1. Open the GPT on your phone or laptop
  2. Describe how you feel (shaky, wired-but-tired, foggy, no appetite, overwhelmed…just type or speak how you are in that moment…)
  3. Add if you have something in the fridge or cupboard you want to use
  4. Get instant personalised meal ideas matched to your body’s needs

Think of it as your chronic fatigue nutrition coach who deeply knows you and preferences saying:

“Here are a few options I think you’ll love – which one feels most doable and enjoyable today?”

You are still the one choosing.
it simply makes choosing easier.

What would change if food didn’t feel like a daily battle?

The What to Eat When You Are Exhausted GPT provides the answer.

Opening the fridge and seeing possibilities
5 minute meals you can create even in a crash
eating real food without standing or prepping
Being able to answer “what’s for dinner?” easily
feeling safe around food and trusting your choices

Why this works (when nothing else has)

You’ve tried meal plans, recipe books, apps, ‘healthy eating’ advice, batch cooking, following influencers, maybe even worked with a nutrition practitioner but you still didn’t know what to eat when you feel exhausted.

This GPT works because it removes;

  • pressure
  • decisions
  • mental load
  • perfectionism
  • energy expenditure
  • shame

It meets you exactly where you are and offers clarity you can act on immediatetly.

Responding how you are moment to moment, so if you are half way through a meal and egg-ick sets in, you’ll have a new suggestion in seconds.

why I created this GPT

Meet Joanna

I’m a registered nutritional therapist and EFT tapping practitioner, and this is exactly the work I do with my clients day in, day out.

I support people living with chronic fatigue, burnout, brain fog and sensitive nervous systems to work out what to eat when their energy is low, without overwhelm, guilt, or forcing themselves into plans their body can’t sustain.

This GPT is built from:

  • My clinical nutrition training
  • Years of supporting people with fatigue and fluctuating symptoms
  • 10+ years lived experience of chronic fatigue myself
  • The exact questions, prompts, and suggestions I use in sessions to help clients find clarity fast

Think of it as my coaching brain, methods, and food frameworks — available 24/7, without needing an appointment, energy, or decision-making capacity.

This is for you if:

✔️ You live with chronic fatigue, ME/CFS, burnout or low energy
✔️ You get overwhelmed choosing food, cooking or even thinking about meals
✔️ You sometimes skip meals because deciding feels harder than eating
✔️ You want real nourishment but don’t have the energy to plan or cook
✔️ You want simple, grounding meals that meet you where you are
✔️ You are open to gentle, body-led support (not rules or diets)

This is NOT for you if:

❌ You want a rigid meal plan
❌ You expect gourmet 3-course meals every night
❌ You want dieting or weight loss coaching
❌ You don’t want to try using a simple AI tool
❌ You want an app that prescribes one option for what to eat
(this one honours your agency)

Frequently Asked

A GPT is a tool built on AI that you type or talk into and get instant personalised results. This GPT has been trained using my clinical experise in chronic fatigue, nutrition, nervous system support and realistic low-energy cooking. It’s like having a nutrition coach on hand 24/7 to give you simple doable suggestions based on your energy, symptoms and what’s in your kitchen.

You don’t need any techincal skills to use a GPT, if you can do a google search or send a message you can use this. I include a Get Started Guide and Prompt Guide so you’ll feel confident using the GPT right away.

Chat GPT is a blank slate – it can help, but only if you know exactly what to ask, how to phrase it, and how to sift through suggestions that don’t fit your energy, symptoms or capacity. Without this custom GPT you’ll get generic and mediocore advice and suggestions.

This GPT is pre-loaded with my nutrition experise, my coaching tone of voice, and meal ideas specifically for low-energy, weird hunger cues, food aversions and symptom flares. It narrows everything down to you and your personal needs, so your not stuck rewriting prompts, asking clarifiying questions or getting overwhelmed by options. You get personalised fatigue-friendly suggestions you can trust, in seconds.

No! Your purchase is a one-time payment for unlimited access.

You can use it multiple times per day or just when you feel like you need some extra support, it’s entirely up to you.

With the fast changing pace of AI I am not able to promise ‘lifetime’ access, but you will recieve any updates and new versions of the GPT with your one-time payment.

Not in a bossy or prescriptive way, as that goes against everything I believe in. This GPT is not here to take away your autonomy or override your intuition.

Think of it more as a simple conversation with a nutrition coach that just ‘gets you’ without you having to explain. You show up exhausted -> it offers a few tailored options -> you choose the one your body responds to.

The GPT simply removes the blank shopping-list panic, the endless fridge staring, and the endless deliberations of “I don’t know what to eat”.

Yes! You can tell the GPT exactly what to avoid, and it will only offer ideas that fit your preferences or needs. It adapts to; allergies, intolerences, sensory issues, texture preferences, appetite changes, nausea, extra low-energy days, weird cravings, “nothing sounds good” momements.

If you can type a sentence, you can use this GPT.

You also get 1) a Get Started Guide – a short walkthough showing you how to open the tool and get your first meal suggestion in under a minute and 2) A beginner Prompt Guide – with plug-and-play phrases you can copy/paste when your mind is blank.

This is built specifically for exhausted people, simplicity is the entire point.

Not at all. This tool is designed to strengthen your intuition, not override it. It gives you a few grounded, realistic options to respond to – so your inner “Yes/No” becomes clearer, especially when exhaustion blunts it.

This isn’t a meal plan. It’s not rigid or perscriptive or something you “fail” at. This GPT responds to you, moment by moment, based on how you feel, what you have, what you need, your energy, your symptoms. It removes pressure, decision fatigue and perfectionism. There is nothing to “stick to”, just guidance for your real life.

Both.

Immediate benefits = you know what to eat today.

Long term benefits = You start building trust with food again. Eating becomes more predictable and less emotionally loaded. Your body calms because nourishment feels reliable… this is how people with chronic fatigue start feeling steadier.

If you reach a point where you want to understand your chronic fatigue and body more fully – emotionally, nutritionally, or through nervous system work – you’ll know.

But for now?

You just need food to feel easier. This tool handles that beautifully with no pressure to “do more”.
