What do you eat when you are sick?

I have been battling the flu for a few days now and I am struggling to get my fluids in and I can't seem to get any protein in. I can't taste anything and food just sits weird in me. For example all I ate today was a hot dog (10g protein) and a few bites of cheese.

What do you eat when you are sick and how do you get your protein in?

 
So sorry your feeling rotten!  (((hugs)))

I've been battling this very thing the past four days.  Not easy.  Here is what I ate/drank:
1) Protein shakes!  (only way I was getting in my protein)
2) broth (homemade from turkey)
3) saltines - no....they aren't low carb, but they settled my tummy - and I only ate a few
4) watered down juice (go easy on this...not only is it loaded with carbs, but it upset my innerds!)
5) lots of hot herbal tea!!! - helped get in my fluids

Hope this helped - and you feel much better very soon!!!

LMAO!! do it! that would be awesome!

What Julie said. Fluids are really important and if you can get some protein in by shakes, then that's a plus.

Chicken buillion with an egg broken up in it (kinda like egg drop soup) or some actual chicken (homemade chicken soup).

Thanks for asking the question.  I've been miserable with the flu all day and nothing sits right.
